Nick Bruni was an entry-level professional racing in a national single-class championship. He competed in the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin, driving Mazda MX-5 Cup cars for MEATHEAD Racing in 2016; the series ran a mixed field of amateurs, semi-professionals and graded professionals. His rating of 3,052 reflects racing at that level across a single season.[1]
Bruni made 12 starts in 2016, finishing twelfth in the championship standings. He raced against a field that included Nikko Reger, who won the ND1 championship that year and went on to contest IMSA Prototype Challenge and Lamborghini Super Trofeo, and Robby Foley, who would become a professional regular in IMSA and GT World Challenge America. Bruni finished ahead of Foley on two occasions and beat Mason Filippi, a professional who later won the IMSA Pilot Challenge TCR title, three times over the season. These scalps against drivers who progressed to stronger series suggest competitive moments within a season that placed him outside the top ten in final points.[2]
