🏳️ Jeff Afflerbach

Jeff Afflerbach competes in International GT racing, a semi-professional level where drivers typically finish in the mid-pack of pro-am and one-make fields. His Racer Rating of 2,004 places him in the competitive amateur band; this describes the front of club racing and drivers who race against professionals rather than with them, usually self-funded and based around regional competition. His first season on record in 2026 comprised 12 starts in International GT, yielding 4 wins and 9 podiums with an average finish of P2.7, a strong showing that suggests natural speed in his series.[1]

Afflerbach's record against his regular competition reveals a mixed picture. He holds a commanding head-to-head against Kurt Kropp, finishing ahead in 9 of 12 shared races; Kropp sits considerably lower on the Elo scale at 956. Against stronger opposition, Afflerbach has been outpaced more often than not. Zachary Bradford, a driver at semi-professional level with a 2,625 rating, beat him in 7 of 8 shared races. Coleman Hall, rated 2,336, finished ahead in 3 of 4 meetings. Afflerbach did achieve isolated wins over a Bronze-graded professional in Chris Hall, and maintains a clean head-to-head against Robert Gee across four races, but these stand as single-race victories rather than established patterns of beating established opposition. His competitive advantage lies against drivers notably below his own level, while racing against semi-professional field strength typically sees him finish behind.

Afflerbach remains active in International GT following his debut season and has won races in his first year of competition.
