Ford Koch is an entry-level professional competing across multiple national series in the United States. His primary base is the single-class TGRNA GR Cup North America, where he raced for Copeland Motorsports in 2024 and 2025, finishing ninth in the championship standings in his most recent full season. He has expanded into multiclass endurance racing with IMSA Pilot Challenge, where he shares a GT4-level production sports car in the GS class, and into single-driver multiclass sprint racing with Porsche Sprint Challenge North America in the Cayman category.[1]
Across 40 career starts since 2024, Koch has taken five podiums and three wins. His breakthrough came in Porsche Sprint Challenge North America Cayman in 2026, where he won three races and took four podiums from four starts; that series forms the strongest part of his record. In IMSA Pilot Challenge, he has one podium from ten starts across shared-car endurance racing. In TGRNA, where he has contested the full season twice, he was ninth in the 2024 standings and completed a 14-round campaign in 2025. Two starts in SCCA Majors constitute his smallest commitment.[2]
Koch races regularly against established company. His most frequent rivals are Lucas Weisenberg and Westin Workman, both entry-level professionals with credentials across multiple series; he typically finishes behind them in head-to-head competition. He has beaten established professionals including Nolan Siegel, an FIA Gold driver who has raced in IndyCar and Indy NXT, and Patrick Gallagher, a 2017 Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup champion with extensive IMSA experience. His performance in Porsche Sprint Challenge, where he qualified on pace against stronger drivers in the category, demonstrates his ability to be competitive in sprint racing formats.
