Joseph Rizzo is a club-level driver with a Racer Rating of 1,754, placing him in the developing to early club racing band. This means he is a driver racing at the regional level with genuine competition experience but still establishing consistency in the field.[1]
Rizzo's career spans two seasons from 2025 to 2026 across two series. He competed in the Porsche Sprint Challenge North America Cayman in 2025 with BGB Motorsports, recording six starts without a win or podium finish and ending the season in seventh place. His primary racing came in International GT in 2026, where he collected one win and eleven podiums from fourteen starts, bringing his career totals to 20 starts, 1 win, and 11 podiums. His average finishing position across all classified races stands at P4.3, indicating consistent finishes in the midfield or better.
The competitive context reveals a mixed head-to-head record. Against Kurt Kropp, a developing driver rated 956, Rizzo dominated with eleven wins to three losses over fourteen shared races. However, against semi-professional and professional company, the pattern reversed sharply. Against Zachary Bradford (rated 2,625), Rizzo won once in ten races. Against established professionals including FIA Bronze graded drivers Tom Kopczynski and Dan Ammann, both rated above 3,500, Rizzo finished ahead only once in six races against each. He has not finished ahead of former champion Alain Scalzo in any of their six encounters. These results place Rizzo as a competitive club-level driver who excels against peers at his level but struggles to match the pace of semi-professional and professional opposition.
