🇬🇧 Joshua Hughes

Joshua Hughes is a club-level competitor with a rating of 1,693, placing him in the developing to club band of drivers; this means he races in fields that do not meet the calibre of full professional competition. His entire recorded career spans nine seasons in American Endurance Racing from 2016 to 2025, with 54 starts yielding 9 wins and 23 podiums. His average finishing position of fourth across classified results reflects consistent mid-field performances, though the 2025 season has proven less productive, with a 65th-place finish in his sole start so far.[1]

Hughes trades victories and defeats almost evenly against his most frequent rivals in American Endurance Racing. He holds a near-level head-to-head record against Mike Dipillo, a multiple Class 4 champion, finishing ahead in nine of their 17 shared races but behind in eight; he runs even with Carl Keller and Sam Keller across 16 shared races each, winning half their encounters. Against John Ryan Lewis, a Class 3 champion, Hughes has the stronger record, finishing ahead in twelve of their 13 shared races. His wins have occasionally come against much stronger opposition; he has beaten FIA Silver-graded professionals such as Carter Fartuch and Gregory Liefooghe, and FIA Bronze-graded driver Aristotle Balogh twice, though these remain isolated results rather than sustained competitive patterns.[2]

The biographical record indicates Hughes works as a simulator driver for McLaren in Formula One and as a reserve driver for Mahindra Racing in Formula E, roles that place him in a professional capacity away from his endurance racing. However, his competitive record in American Endurance Racing remains that of an amateur competitor in club and one-make fields, without the wins or consistency among professional-level rivals needed to claim a higher standing.
