🏳️ Jack Ivan

Jack Ivan is a competitive amateur, at a Racer Rating of 2,735. This means Ivan operates at the front of club racing and entry-level paid competition, racing against a mix of established professionals and fellow developing drivers in fields that do not yet meet the standards of national championships.[1]

Ivan is in his first recorded season, having made two starts in the 2026 Zenith Racing Series for Powell Racing. In that limited record, Ivan has finished without a podium but has shown notable competitiveness against stronger opposition. Most strikingly, Ivan has beaten Linus Lundqvist, a much stronger driver who holds FIA Gold grading and has won multiple championships including the 2018 GB3, the 2020 Formula Regional Americas, and the 2022 Indy NXT. Ivan has also finished ahead of Patrick Wilmot and Maximilian Opalski, both FIA Silver graded professionals, and Ethan Barker. These individual results against drivers of considerably higher standing carry real weight at the entry stage of a career, though the sample size remains too small to establish a pattern. Ivan finished 30th in the round where two starts took place, with an average running position of 5.5.[2]

The extremely early stage of this career makes prediction difficult. Powell Racing, Ivan's team, has shown eight wins across its wider roster, suggesting a squad capable of fielding competitive machinery. What Ivan does with those early advantages over strong drivers in his next season will define whether this debut year marks the beginning of a genuine climbing career or remains an isolated bright spot.
