Felipe Donato is a semi-professional driver competing at the club to competitive amateur level, with a Racer Rating of 3,508. His single season on record comprises five starts in the 2014 Pro Mazda Championship for M1 Racing, a team that has not recorded a race win across its indexed history. Donato did not score a podium finish in any of those races and averaged a finishing position of P13.8 across classified starts.[1]
Donato's rivals in 2014 Pro Mazda were predominantly established professionals and former champions in feeder series, including Spencer Pigot and Kyle Kaiser, both of whom went on to win Indy NXT championships. Against this field Donato finished ahead of Kaiser and Pigot once each across their shared races, though he was outfinished by both drivers in the majority of their head-to-head encounters. He also beat the 2014 Pro Mazda Champion Scott Hargrove once, though Hargrove outfinished him in four of their five races together. Against Nicolas Costa, Garett Grist, and Jose Gutiérrez, Donato was consistently the slower driver, failing to finish ahead of any of them in five shared races each.
Donato's career ended after that single 2014 season and he is now retired from racing. His record shows a driver competing against a higher calibre of opposition than his own results could match, consistently running at the rear of a professional field.
