🏳️ Harbir Dass

Harbir Dass is a competitive amateur driver racing in the entry levels of single-seat motorsport, with a Racer Rating of 2,978. This places him at the front of club racing and entry-level pro-am competition; he races against professionals regularly but has not yet reached the consistent speed required to win in the fields he inhabits. Across four seasons from 2023 to 2026, Dass has started 52 times with eight podiums and no victories, averaging a finishing position of eighth across classified results.[1]

Dass has competed primarily in Ligier JS F4 Series and SCCA Majors events since 2024, combining these with appearances in Formula Regional Americas and SCCA club racing. His podium finishes cluster in the F4 series, where he has taken seven podiums from 27 starts. In Formula Regional Americas, a stronger field, he secured one podium from ten starts in 2026. His head-to-head record against regular rivals shows mixed results; he has out-qualified and out-raced semi-professional drivers like Drew Szuch and Cash Felber in some races, but trails them more often than not over their shared meetings. Against stronger opposition, Dass has occasionally finished ahead of drivers rated as established professionals, including 1-time champions Austin Hill, Cooper Shipman and Leonardo Escorpioni, though these remain isolated results rather than consistent patterns.

The most telling context is Dass's record against Ava Hanssen, rated as a competitive amateur like himself, whom he has beaten thirteen times from fourteen meetings; and his struggle against Ethan Jacobs, a professional driver rated 4,032, whom he has beaten only once from thirteen races. This reflects his current standing: quick enough to dominate his own tier and occasionally trouble stronger drivers, but not yet a consistent competitor at the professional level.
