🏳️ Jim McKinney

Jim McKinney is a club-level driver whose rating of 2,071 places him in the developing band; he has raced in too limited a field to have moved significantly beyond entry level, with just two starts on record across a two-season span from 2012 to 2013. Both appearances came in the SKUSA SuperNationals, a high-profile karting event, but neither produced a podium finish or wins. His average finishing position of 7.5 across his classified starts reflects his standing among competitors at that tier.[1]

The limited competitive context available shows McKinney against a handful of much stronger drivers, all of whom have gone on to establish professional careers; he finished ahead of Pato O'Ward, an FIA Gold graded driver who would become champion of the IMSA WeatherTech PC and Indy NXT, on a single occasion, and also beat Marcus Armstrong, another FIA Gold driver and 2017 Italian F4 champion, once. These isolated results against elite-level competitors are the noteworthy elements of his record, though they occurred in the context of a very brief racing career. McKinney is now retired from active competition.
