Michael McGrath competed in PCA Club Racing across two seasons from 2014 to 2015, accumulating eight starts. He recorded two wins and five podium finishes, establishing an exceptional average finishing position of P2.5 across all classified starts. His Racer Rating of 1,241 places him in the developing level, reflecting a club racing career with limited competitive experience.[1]
McGrath's record shows consistent competitiveness within his field. He compiled a winning head-to-head record against Bruce McGrath across three shared races, and managed individual victories over several rivals of stronger standing, including ED Dunne, a multiple PCA Club Racing champion, and Maurice Smith, an FIA Bronze-graded driver and 2022 European Le Mens Series LMP3 champion. However, he was outpaced in three encounters with Brian Forsythe, a rival rated at 1,390. His results came in club-level sportscar racing rather than the professional categories of that discipline.
McGrath has been retired from racing since 2015, with no competitive activity recorded in the decade since his final PCA Club Racing appearance.
