🇬🇧 Mark Richards

Mark Richards holds a Racer Rating of 3,654, placing him in the semi-professional band. This level describes amateur and gentleman drivers who compete in professional-level fields, typically in sportscar and endurance racing where they share grids with full-time competitors. Richards' FIA Bronze categorisation confirms this status; Bronze denotes an amateur or gentleman driver in GT and endurance racing, distinct from the Silver and Platinum professionals who dominate such series. His record reflects this positioning: a single season in the European Le Mans Series in 2022 with one podium finish across five starts, achieved at 360 Racing.[1]

Richards competed in a field of mixed professional grades. He held a winning head-to-head record against Michael Jensen, a stronger driver rated 5,138 with credentials as a Bronze-graded professional and champion of the 2025 Asian Le Mans Series, finishing ahead of Jensen three times across four shared races. He also beat Silver-graded professionals including Finn Gehrsitz, Sebastian Alvarez, and Louis Rousset on individual occasions, and repeatedly outpaced Nick Adcock and Alexander Bukhantsov. His average finishing position of P4.5 across classified results indicates consistent mid-field competitiveness in a professional endurance field.[2]

Richards is now retired from racing. His 2022 European Le Mans Series season represents his only recorded top-level campaign; prior competitive history outside this database and his documented success in Australian and New Zealand championships are not represented in these figures.
