Joe Viola is a retired racing driver who competed in International GT from 2023 to 2024. His record spans two seasons and six starts, during which he scored three wins and five podium finishes for an average result of second place. He has been inactive since the end of 2024.[1]
Viola's competitive standing sits at the lower end of semi-professional racing, slightly below the median of his peers in International GT. His head-to-head record against regular rivals was mixed; he finished ahead of Zach Ehrlich twice across five shared races but consistently trailed Max Ehrlich, who was marginally stronger on rating, and split results with Baron Jacobs and Todd Pajonas. His most decisive matchups came against less experienced drivers such as Mike Iapaluccio and Charles Craig, whom he beat in all three encounters. When he did beat stronger drivers such as Zach Ehrlich and Paul Reisman, these were individual results rather than patterns of sustained competitive advantage.
Viola's 2024 campaign was his most successful period on record, yielding three wins and three podiums across three rounds before he finished sixth in the final standings. The concentration of his wins in that final season suggests he may have found improved form late in his racing tenure, though the brief window of data prevents drawing broader conclusions about his development as a driver.
