🏳️ Jennifer Roames

Jennifer Roames is a competitive amateur racer with a Racer Rating of 718, placing her among club and regional competitors. This rating describes a driver consistently competing in club racing and regional events; she races against genuine professionals and semi-professionals rather than among them, and her results sit at the front of amateur fields. Across four seasons from 2022 to 2025, Roames has made 30 starts, primarily in SCCA Regionals and SCCA Majors events, with three podium finishes and no wins. Her average finishing position of P9.8 reflects consistent mid-field competitiveness in her regular series.[1]

Roames' head-to-head record tells a clear story of her standing relative to her peers. Against Jed Prentice, a developing-level driver, she has a dominant 20-2 record across 22 races, demonstrating clear superiority over that competitor. However, she consistently finishes behind the stronger drivers in her fields; against Bryan McCrea, a 2024-2025 SCCA Regionals BIT champion and a professional-level competitor, she has failed to finish ahead in 16 shared races. Similarly, she has struggled against Steve Martin and Michael Palaszynski, both semi-professional drivers, finishing ahead of them only occasionally. She has beaten several notably strong drivers once apiece, including an instance against James Hunt, a 1976 Formula 1 champion; these remain isolated results rather than patterns of competitiveness at those levels.

Roames remains active as of 2025, competing in SCCA Regionals where she finished ninth overall with one podium finish across 13 rounds. Her career shows the profile of a self-funded amateur gaining regular experience in club and regional racing, competitive within her own tier but outmatched by the semi-professional and professional drivers she encounters in shared events.
