Joe Rizzo raced in International GT across two seasons from 2022 to 2023, compiling 25 starts with 5 wins and 14 podiums before retiring. He finished on average in fourth place and scored his best results in the latter season, taking 2 wins and 7 podiums across 10 rounds to finish third in the 2023 standings. His Racer Rating of 2,249 places him in the amateur ranks of club-level competition.[1]
Rizzo held a consistent edge over most of his regular rivals in the field. He finished ahead of Thomas Bigony in 18 of 23 shared races and Judit Lukazik in 11 of 13 meetings. Against Ariel Aufgang and Rodrigo Azpurua he maintained slight advantages, though Kevin Maxim proved troublesome, outrunning him 8 times to Rizzo's 4 victories in 12 encounters. The notable dimension of his record lies in occasional success against much stronger drivers who visited the series. He beat FIA Gold graded professional Stevan McAleer three times and 2-time Gold champion Trent Hindman twice, as well as Silver graded former champion Eric Filgueiras on three occasions, though these results were isolated outings rather than patterns of domination.
