Jim Lane raced in PCA Club Racing from 2011 to 2013, a period spanning thirteen starts across three seasons. His record places him at club level; his rating of 1,412 sits within the developing range, describing a driver who competed consistently but did not establish himself as a front-runner. His average finishing position of 1.7 across all races reflects genuine pace within his field, built on five wins and twelve podium finishes from those thirteen starts.[1]
The competitive context shows that Lane's success came chiefly against lower-rated drivers. He finished ahead of Chris Hampton, Clemson Chan, and Litko Chan in every race they shared, and beat Andrew Forrest in six of seven encounters. His most telling head-to-head records came against stronger opposition. Against Doug Boccignone, a professional-level driver rated 2,669, Lane finished ahead in all seven shared races, a clean sweep that stands as his most impressive pattern. Against Scott Fisher, rated 1,813, Lane held a 6β3 advantage across nine races, suggesting he could compete with drivers somewhat above his level but lacked the consistency to beat them regularly.[2]
Lane's career in club racing ended in 2013. His final season saw him win twice and podium five times in six rounds, though he finished 14th in the final standings, indicating that while his peak performances were strong, he could not sustain that level across a full season. He has not raced since, and the record carries no further activity beyond that year.
