🇺🇸 Kaylee Countryman

Kaylee Countryman is a competitive amateur driver currently racing in the junior single-seater categories. Her Racer Rating of 1,644 places her at the entry end of club-level competition, a band that encompasses drivers building experience in competitive environments but not yet consistently contending at the front. Across three seasons from 2024 to 2026, Countryman has started 41 races without a win, collecting a single podium finish in F1 Academy with ART Grand Prix in 2026. Her average finishing position of P13.7 reflects mid-field performance in fields that include drivers of varying experience levels.[1]

Countryman's record against her most frequent rivals tells a consistent story. Against Connor Aspley and Thomas Nordquist, both semi-professional drivers in the 1,700 rating band, she has finished behind them more often than ahead in a roughly 11-16 ratio across 26 to 27 shared races. Against stronger opposition in the form of Joao Vergara (an FIA Silver-graded semi-professional), Liam Loiacono, and Oliver Wheldon, all rating between 2,700 and 3,175, her head-to-head records are markedly one-sided; she has finished ahead of Vergara only four times in 24 races, and behind Loiacono in 21 of 24 meetings. Occasional victories over higher-rated drivers such as Jack Jeffers (2025 USF2000 champion) and Leonardo Escorpioni (2025 USF Juniors champion) represent isolated results rather than competitive patterns at that level.[2]

Her path through the formulae has followed a typical progression from USF Juniors in 2025 through USF2000 and into F1 Academy in 2026, where she races for ART Grand Prix, a team with a strong history in the categories but one that fields a broad spectrum of driver talent. Most recent activity shows her continuing in the USF2000 Championship, where she finished P22 across eight rounds in 2026, indicating she remains active in competitive junior racing without yet establishing herself as a consistent front-runner.
