🏳️ David Trefilov

David Trefilov is a semi-professional driver, rated 3,071, placing him in the competitive amateur tier where wins come in pro-am and one-make classes and results are mixed against full professionals. His record spans three seasons from 2022 to 2024 and consists of three starts in the SKUSA SuperNationals, yielding no wins or podiums; he finished eleventh on average. He is now retired from active competition.[1]

Trefilov's performances against established rivals reveal a competitive but inconsistent record. He finished ahead of Remo Ruscitti, an FIA Silver-graded professional, twice in three shared races, and ahead of Keawn Tandon, a Silver-graded national champion, twice in three meetings. However, he struggled consistently against Marijn Kremers and Pedro Hiltbrand, both professionals, losing the head-to-head matchups decisively. In isolated results he beat stronger drivers; he defeated Oliver Askew, an FIA Silver professional and former champion rated 5,426, and James Golding, an FIA Gold professional rated 5,289, once each. These were single-race results rather than patterns of superiority, but they indicate Trefilov was capable of competitive performances in high-level fields.

The recent headlines reference karting sanctions and podium appearances in karting championships, suggesting continued activity in that discipline after his retirement from single-seater racing with SKUSA.
