🇪🇸 Jamie Clos

Jamie Clos is a club-level driver competing in NASA racing with a Racer Rating of 1,575, placing him in the competitive amateur band. This rating reflects a driver who races regularly in organized competition but has not progressed to semi-professional ranks; he competes consistently without winning and finishes on average in tenth position across his field.[1]

Clos has contested 28 races in NASA Spec Miata competition between 2012 and 2025, earning three podium finishes but no wins. His record against his most frequent rivals shows a pattern of finishing behind stronger drivers. He has raced 12 or more times each against Jonathan Davis (a 2016 NASA Spec Miata champion), Justin Hille (2011 NASA Spec Miata champion), and Christopher Williams (multiple NASA Spec Miata and Spec Iron champion), finishing behind all three in nearly every shared race. Against George Clos Jr and Robert Keller, Clos has also posted losing records. His best head-to-head results are against John Poppenhouse, whom he has beaten nine times in eleven races. Clos has occasionally finished ahead of drivers rated above him, including Capers Zentmeyer (2023 NASA Spec Miata champion) once and Steve Dunn four times, though these remain isolated results rather than competitive patterns.[2]

Currently active in 2025 NASA racing, Clos finished 118th in two rounds this season. His career spans thirteen years in the same series and machinery, a tenure typical of amateur drivers who remain in club competition. The Mazda Miata program he races for has fielded 1,276 drivers across its index, including the much stronger Connor Zilisch, but Clos's place within it reflects a driver at the entry end of competitive club racing.
