🇺🇸 Jon Hirshberg

Jon Hirshberg is a Bronze-graded amateur sportscar driver with a Racer Rating of 2,045, placing him in the competitive amateur band; this level describes quick self-funded drivers racing in club and entry-level professional fields, typically finishing mid-pack among full professionals. His career spans seven seasons from 2020 to 2026 across three IMSA series, with 54 total starts yielding three wins and 15 podiums, primarily in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo NA one-make class where he has competed for Forte Racing since 2020. His average finish position across all classified races is fifth.[1]

Hirshberg's record against rivals of similar standing shows consistency without dominance. In 30 shared races against Rodrigo Vales, a Bronze driver with a higher rating, he has split their head-to-heads evenly at 15-15. Against Rogelio Perusquia, another Bronze amateur, he has a slight edge of 15 wins to 11 losses across 26 encounters. More significantly, his record against stronger drivers is mixed; he finished ahead of Nick Groat, a two-time Bronze champion rated 3,261, only five times in 16 meetings, losing 11 of them, and was outmatched by Brian Thienes, rated 3,065, finishing ahead just once in 16 races. He has isolated competitive results against significantly stronger drivers, including single victories over Blake McDonald and Naveen Rao, both professional-level Bronze drivers, and five meetings with Silver-graded champion Graham Doyle.

In 2025 and 2026, Hirshberg expanded beyond one-make racing into IMSA's VP Racing SportsCar Challenge and endurance competition with Forte Racing, a team fielding 30 drivers that has produced winners at the professional level. His most recent activity in early 2025 saw him score one podium across six rounds of Lamborghini Super Trofeo, finishing eighth in the season standings.
