John Dempsey is a Bronze-graded amateur driver competing in McLaren Trophy America. His Racer Rating of 2,947 places him in the competitive amateur band, the level of drivers who race regularly against professionals in pro-am and one-make classes but do not form the front tier of those fields. In his debut season of 2025, Dempsey recorded three wins and seven podiums across ten rounds, finishing third in the final standings for RWE Motorsport.[1]

Dempsey's maiden season pitted him against a field mixing amateurs and professionals. He compiled a mixed head-to-head record against the series' stronger drivers. Against Jesse Lazare, the 2025 McLaren Trophy America Pro-Am champion and a Silver-graded professional, Dempsey finished ahead in four of ten shared races but trailed him in six. He showed a similar pattern against Alexandra Hainer, the other Pro-Am champion and a Bronze-graded peer, winning their head-to-head in four of ten meetings. More decisively, Dempsey outran the lower-rated Canaan O'Connell and Brandon Kreutz in seven of ten races each. Against stronger professional opposition, notably the Silver-graded Eric Filgueiras, a former GT4 America Silver champion, Dempsey struggled, finishing behind him in seven of eight encounters. His average finishing position of 2.9 across all starts reflects consistent front-running pace within his class.[2]
