🏳️ Derric Carter

Derric Carter is a competitive amateur driver with a rating of 2,752, placing him in the club racing band; he races competitively in local and regional series rather than against full professionals. Across two seasons from 2025 to 2026, Carter has completed 16 starts with 7 wins and 9 podiums, averaging a fourth-place finish. His record shows consistent speed at his level, beating club-rated drivers regularly; he holds a commanding 8-2 head-to-head record against Steve Yarborough and a 7-2 record against FIA Bronze driver Steve Smith. Against stronger opposition, Carter has occasional results: he finished ahead of semi-professional drivers Gino Manley twice and Jon DeGaynor twice, and once beat professional-level driver Steven Thomas, though these remain isolated instances rather than patterns of competition at that calibre.[1]

Carter's racing has been split between SVRA, where he started his career with 4 wins in 11 starts, and Trans-Am, where he moved in 2026 with immediate success. His Trans-Am debut has been his strongest: three wins and four podiums from five rounds show him adapting well to that series. Across his rivals in shared races, Carter finishes ahead of Danny Lowry in all six encounters; Lowry is a two-time Trans-Am XGT champion, making that record his most significant pattern against an established competitor. He also leads Colin Cohen and Scott Shadel in head-to-head competition, though those records remain modest at 4-2 and 4-2 respectively. Carter remains active in Trans-Am racing through 2026.
