John Kohler is a competitive amateur racing driver with a Racer Rating of 515, placing him among developing drivers early in their competitive progression. His record spans eight seasons of American Endurance Racing from 2019 to 2026, comprising 45 starts across which he has scored one win and six podium finishes. His average finishing position of P5.7 across classified starts reflects participation in fields where he regularly runs mid-pack.[1]
Kohler's head-to-head record against his most frequent rivals tells a consistent story. Against Mike Dipillo, a three-time American Endurance Racing Class 4 champion, Kohler finished ahead in only 5 of 21 races; he was similarly outpaced by Matt Ivey, the 2022 Class 4 champion, finishing ahead in just 3 of 16 shared races. Jake Katznelson, the 2024 Class 4 champion, also regularly beat him, winning 10 of their 12 encounters. Kohler has occasionally beaten considerably stronger drivers; he finished ahead of FIA Silver-graded Jaden Lander three times, FIA Bronze-graded Aristotle Balogh once, and FIA Bronze-graded Johan Schwartz once, though these were isolated results against fields in which he does not typically compete at that level.
In his most recent season of 2026, Kohler finished P31 overall in American Endurance Racing across six rounds with one podium, continuing his pattern as a mid-field runner in the series.
