John Hansen raced in the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup in 2023, competing in four rounds for Carter Racing Enterprises. He finished outside the points in all four starts, with an average finishing position of 18th and no podium finishes. The series he competed in sits in the semi-professional tier of the racing ladder, a level considerably below international sportscar competition but notably above club racing.[1]
Hansen's four races all ran against a field of experienced drivers. He faced multiple FIA Silver graded professionals across those starts, including former champions such as Jared Thomas, Gresham Wagner, and Robert Noaker; in head-to-head comparisons against these drivers, Hansen finished behind them in every encounter. He did occasionally finish ahead of mid-field competitors, notably beating Aaron Jeansonne once despite facing that FIA Silver driver in all four shared races, and finishing ahead of Selin Rollan twice across their four mutual races.
Hansen is now retired from racing, his only recorded competitive season having come in 2023.
