Across an eleven-race career to date, he has secured eight wins and eleven podium finishes, a strong conversion rate that underscores his consistency once on track. That record culminated in a championship title in 2025, the high point of his career so far. His Racer Rating stands at 2,259, placing him 4655th among active drivers on the database's Elo-style scale, on which the world's best competitors typically sit between 10,000 and 11,500.[1]
In the 2026 season, Carlson has started all seven rounds contested so far and has won every one of them, also collecting seven podium finishes in the process, a perfect record in terms of race-day results. Despite this run of victories, he sits eighteenth in the season standings, a discrepancy that points to a points system or schedule factors not reflected in his individual race outcomes. Carlson's record heading into the remainder of the 2026 campaign shows a driver capable of winning consistently, with his overall championship position likely to depend on further rounds still to come.
