JF Formela is a competitive amateur racing driver with a Racer Rating of 1,912, placing him in club racing territory. This driver competes at the level of real competition and genuine results, but outside the professional ranks. Formela's record is built on a single season in 2023, contested entirely in International GT racing where he started three times and won twice, finishing both victories and the third race on the podium.[1]
The strength of Formela's opposition warrants particular attention given the brevity of his record. He finished ahead of Steven Thomas in all three shared races; Thomas holds a Racer Rating of 3,590, is graded FIA Bronze, and went on to win the 2025 International GT CAY3.8 championship. Formela also beat established professional drivers with considerably stronger records: Trent Hindman (Racer Rating 4,398, FIA Gold, two-time IMSA champion), Spencer Pumpelly (4,137, FIA Silver, 2016 IMSA champion), and Eric Filgueiras (3,600, FIA Silver, 2024 GT4 America Silver champion). Against a broader field that included several FIA Bronze graded competitors, Formela was unbeaten in head-to-head comparison, finishing ahead of every regular rival he encountered. His average finishing position of 1.3 across his three starts and his 100 percent podium rate stand as his defining accomplishments in a career now retired.
