G Michael Merritt is in his first season of competitive racing, competing in International GT; a sprint-format grand touring series that draws an amateur and semi-professional grid. In six starts across 2025, Merritt has recorded two wins and six podium finishes, an exceptional early record that places him well ahead of most of the field he has encountered.[1]
His performance against established rivals underscores the strength of his start.

Against Mark Sandridge, a lower-rated but experienced competitor, Merritt holds a 2-3 record. His average finishing position of first overall reflects the consistency with which he has challenged for victory. His Racer Rating of 2,041 places him within the amateur to semi-professional range typical of his series, but his competitive record suggests rapid progression within that tier.
Merritt finished the 2025 International GT season in eighth place in the championship standings despite his strong win and podium rate, indicating that the title contention was shaped by the number of rounds entered rather than relative pace. He remains active in the series and continues to race.
