Ethan Lampe is an entry-level professional driver racing solo in national-level multiclass championships. He competes primarily in spec Mazda MX-5 machinery, driving for Advanced Autosports in the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin, where he currently sits 11th in the championship standings with six rounds run so far this season. His rating of 3,481 places him at the entry-level professional level, a tier where drivers compete regularly against semi-professional and professional opposition while establishing themselves against established talent.[1]
Lampe's breakthrough came in 2025 when he won seven of eight SCCA Majors races to claim the SMX class championship in that series. That success built on earlier consistency in NASA competition from 2022 to 2023, where he took 8 wins and 21 podiums across 30 starts in Spec Miata. He has also swept SCCA Regionals and Runoffs competition where he entered, taking wins in all three Regionals starts and both Runoffs starts in 2024 and 2025. His 20 wins and 33 podiums across 53 career starts reflect a driver who finishes on the podium in the majority of his races.[2]
His competitors in NASA and SCCA Majors include semi-professional drivers like Cooper Hicks, whom Lampe usually finishes ahead of, and competitive amateurs like Andres Prieto, with whom he runs closely matched. In his current Mazda MX-5 Cup campaign, Lampe has beaten established professionals including Brent Crews, a two-time champion across Trans-Am and ARCA Menards, and Westin Workman, the 2025 TGRNA GR Cup North America Am champion.
