🏳️ Mo Smith

Mo Smith is a competitive amateur driver whose rating of 2,422 places him at the club racing level; this describes a quick self-funded racer competing primarily against other amateurs and occasionally against paid professionals rather than a consistent presence at the top of any series. Smith raced exclusively in the Lucas Oil Formula Car Race Series across four seasons from 2016 to 2019, recording 35 starts with 5 wins and 11 podiums. His average finishing position of P4.9 reflects consistent mid-field pace in that series.[1]

Smith won the 2016 Lucas Oil Formula Car Race Series Masters title, his sole championship. His competitive record against regular rivals shows mixed results; he finished ahead of Jeff Stern, the 2019 Lucas Oil Masters champion, in 19 of 28 shared races, a notably positive head-to-head record against a driver of similar rating. Against Pat Daly and Cameron Tedder, both semi-professional level competitors, Smith held winning records of 12-8 and 8-3 respectively. He also secured isolated wins against several stronger drivers including Reece Gold, 2018 Lucas Oil Formula Car Race Series champion and FIA Silver graded, and Aaron Jeansonne, a professional-level competitor rated 4,894, though such single victories offer limited evidence of sustained competitiveness at that calibre.[2]

Smith's activity in the series declined sharply in 2019; his final two races saw no points finishes and a P34 result. He subsequently retired from racing. A headline from late 2022 references his confirmation with Cool Racing in the European Le Mans Series LMP3 class, suggesting a return to competition, though no further results are recorded in this database.
