James Roberts is a club-level racer competing in the 2022–2026 SCCA Regionals series. His Racer Rating of 453 places him in the developing category, the entry level of competitive racing; this reflects 71 starts across five seasons with no wins or podium finishes and an average finishing position of 19th. The calibre of his regular opposition spans a wide range, from club drivers to established professionals, but his record against them shows limited competitiveness.[1]
Roberts has contested 56 shared races against Jay Bindrim, a club-level driver, finishing ahead in only six of them. Against stronger competition his position becomes clearer; in 55 races against John Hotz, the 2024 SCCA Regionals SM champion, Roberts has not finished ahead once. Similar patterns hold against Arif Kazim, Jordan Fureman (2025 SCCA Regionals SSM champion), and Izaak Jordan, where his head-to-head records show one or two victories against each across 42 to 46 shared races. In isolated instances, Roberts has finished ahead of drivers rated significantly higher, including established professional Camden Gruber and FIA Silver-graded Morgan Burkhard, but these were single results and do not represent sustained performance at that level.
Roberts remains active in 2026 SCCA Regionals competition, where his most recent seven-round campaign yielded no wins, no podiums, and a 15th-place finish. His record suggests a driver still building racing experience at the club level without yet achieving the consistency or pace required to move into contention.
