John Farano is a Canadian racing driver competing in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship with Tower Motorsports. A businessman by background, he built his motorsport career alongside his professional interests, eventually reaching prototype competition in North American sports car racing. His most notable achievement came in 2022, when he claimed the LMP2 drivers' championship, a result that stands as the highlight of his racing record. Across his career he has amassed 43 starts, 5 wins, and 17 podium finishes, figures that reflect a driver who has been a consistent frontrunner in his class over an extended period of competition.[1]

Currently holding a Racer Rating of 3,470, placing him 761st among active drivers on a scale where the world's elite sit near 10,000 to 11,500, Farano occupies a solid if unspectacular position within the broader sport car racing hierarchy. His 2026 season has started modestly, with no wins or podiums through a single round and a standing of 157th. Still active with Tower Motorsports, Farano continues to compete in IMSA WeatherTech, carrying the credibility of his past championship into ongoing efforts on track.[2]
