Ethan Ringel is a semi-professional driver whose career spanned three seasons in the Road to Indy ladder and GP3, concluding in 2015. His rating of 3,619 places him among semi-professional drivers who compete in pro-am classes and mid-pack fields at the full professional level. Across 28 starts in Indy NXT and GP3 Series, Ringel scored one podium finish and remained winless; his average finishing position of P12.9 reflects consistent mid-field running without the pace to contend for race victories.[1]
Ringel's record in Indy NXT from 2013 to 2015 showed him consistently outpaced by established drivers in that feeder series. Racing for SPM with Curb-Agajanian, he finished behind championship-winning rivals in most encounters: he lost head-to-head records against Jack Harvey (2015 Indy NXT champion), Spencer Pigot (2015 Indy NXT champion), Kyle Kaiser (2017 Indy NXT champion), and RC Enerson. Across 16 shared races with Harvey alone, Ringel finished ahead only twice against fourteen losses. His results against top-tier drivers were sporadic; he beat Mitch Evans and Nelson Piquet Jr. once each and Max Chilton on two occasions, but these were isolated results rather than indicators of competitive parity with drivers of that calibre.[2]
Ringel's sole podium came during his Indy NXT tenure, but his inability to win races or sustain regular top-ten finishes limited his progression up the Road to Indy ladder. His earlier GP3 campaign in 2012 produced no podiums across eleven starts for CRS Racing. After 2015, Ringel retired from professional racing and does not appear in the current active driver pool.
