Eric Ives is a club-level driver who raced in American Endurance Racing, a multiclass endurance championship where production-based cars from multiple classes share the track and drivers rotate during races. Graded FIA Silver, he competed across Classes 2, 3 and 4 between 2020 and 2021.[1]
Over two seasons, Ives made nine starts and took one win and two podiums. His win came in 2021, when he finished 23rd in the championship standings across three rounds contested. He was closely matched throughout his career with regular opponents Panagioti Theodorakopoulos, a 2019 American Endurance Racing Class 3 champion, and John Ryan Lewis, who won the same championship in both 2019 and 2021.[2]
Ives raced in a field that mixed amateurs and semi-professionals with graded professionals. Among the stronger drivers he encountered was Jaden Lander, an entry-level professional graded FIA Silver who went on to win the 2024 GT4 America Am championship, whom Ives beat once. He also finished ahead of Alex Vogel, a semi-professional competitor, on one occasion.
