🏳️ David Kaufman

David Kaufman raced in American Endurance Racing, a multiclass endurance championship in which two or more drivers share each car across its duration. He competed in Class 3 and Class Sebring, both categories fielding production-based cars, and raced across six seasons from 2015 to 2020 among a field mixing amateurs, semi-professionals and graded professionals. His rating of 1,761 places him at club level, where drivers compete regularly but typically lack the consistency or calibre to move into semi-professional company.[1]

Over 11 starts, Kaufman won twice and finished on the podium six times. He finished 33rd in championship points in his final season of 2020, which comprised two races and one podium. His best results came against entry-level professional and club-level opposition; he finished ahead of Misha Goikhberg, a professional with 92 IMSA WeatherTech starts and 37 Trans-Am TA2 races, and Tommy Byrne, a professional who had competed in Formula 3 at Macau. Against his most regular opponent, Jeff Segal, a 2020 American Endurance Racing Class 3 champion graded FIA Gold, Kaufman was closely matched in head-to-head racing.[2]
