Joe Catania is a competitive amateur, rated 2,517, representing the entry level of paid motorsport where drivers race against professionals rather than with them. His career consists of four starts across two Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge series in 2016, all with NGT Motorsport, yielding no wins or podiums and an average finish of 13.5th position. This represents a single season of racing on record before retirement.[1]
Catania raced against a field of semi-professional drivers graded by the FIA as Silver and Bronze level competitors. His head-to-head record against his most frequent rivals was mixed; he finished behind McKay Snow and Andrew Longe in all four shared races but beat Anthony Imperato and Jeff Mosing once each. In isolated instances, he outfinished two stronger drivers: Fred Poordad, an FIA Bronze graded professional, and Zacharie Robichon, an FIA Silver graded professional and 2021 IMSA WeatherTech GTD champion, though these represent single results rather than patterns of competitive advantage.
NGT Motorsport, his sole team, fielded 11 drivers across the wider index without recording a race win, suggesting it operated at a competitive but not dominant level in the series it contested. Catania's brief involvement ended after the 2016 season.
