John Beystehner is in his first season of racing, competing in International GT; his Racer Rating of 1,705 places him in the amateur ranks. In three starts across 2026, he recorded one win and one additional podium finish, averaging fourth place overall. His record against the regular opposition at this level is mixed; he has finished ahead of former champion William Oliver and established competitor Cliff Cayer in individual races, but more often finished behind them across their three shared meetings. He holds a similar 1-2 head-to-head record against Mark Sandridge and former champion Brian Hicks, suggesting occasional competitive moments against experienced opposition in a moderately skilled grid rather than consistent superiority.[1]
International GT is a semi-professional racing environment drawing drivers at various stages of their careers; Beystehner's early results show him capable of winning races and mixing with drivers of greater experience, though his overall finishing position of P15 across the season and his losing records in most pairings indicate he remains a developing driver relative to the grid's established competitors. The calibre of opposition available in a single season of racing is limited, but beating former champions and professional-level drivers in individual races is a genuine note for a driver in his first year of competition.
