Ivan Velasco Sanchez is a competitive amateur driver, rated 2,539, a level that describes club and regional racing. His racing record consists of a single Ferrari Challenge start in 2024 for MERTEL Motorsport, in which he finished P43 and did not score points or podiums. His average finishing position across his one classified race is P12, reflecting the mathematics of a single result rather than a meaningful sample.[1]
In that sole appearance, Velasco finished ahead of drivers including Matthias Tomann (2,445), David Akhobadze (2,322), and Otto Blank, a FIA Bronze-graded driver. These were isolated results against specific competitors rather than evidence of a sustained pattern, but they place him credibly within a field of semi-professional and amateur racing. MERTEL Motorsport, the team fielding his car, has recorded three race wins across its broader programme and has fielded stronger drivers, including Luca Ludwig at professional level (4,829).
Velasco retired from racing after his 2024 campaign. The headlines surrounding his activity link to the FIA Motorsport Games, where Spain topped the medal table; whether Velasco participated in that event or in the Ferrari Challenge proper cannot be determined from the supplied record alone.
