🏳️ Louie Pagano

Louie Pagano is a competitive amateur racer with a rating of 2,822, placing him in the club racing tier; this level encompasses the front of regional competition and entry-level professional-am fields, where drivers race against a mix of amateurs and semi-professionals in smaller grids. His career on record spans eight seasons from 2008 to 2016, concentrated almost entirely in the SKUSA SuperNationals, where he made nine starts and secured one victory alongside four podium finishes. His average finishing position across all classified starts was P9.2, indicating consistent mid-field performance in a competitive field.[1]

Pagano's head-to-head record against his most frequent rivals shows mixed results. He finished ahead of Austin Elliott in all five shared races, comfortably outpacing a driver at the same competitive level. Against Mason Chelootz and David Sera, both semi-professional graded racers, Pagano held a slight edge, finishing ahead in five of ten combined meetings. His record against stronger opposition was less successful; he finished behind Felipe Fraga, an established professional rated significantly higher, in all four shared races, and lost decisively to Remo Ruscitti across four meetings. Notably, Pagano recorded single-race victories over three much stronger drivers: Charles Leclerc, who would become a Formula 1 driver and 2016 GP3 champion; Logan Sargeant, an established professional; and Gustavo Menezes, a champion of the 2016 WEC LMP2 class. These were isolated results rather than patterns and reflect the variable nature of single-seater competition where a good day can yield an upset result.
