Nick Fontana holds a Racer Rating of 1,029, placing him at the developing level; this describes a driver with too few races on record to have moved beyond entry level, or one who has consistently finished toward the back of club fields. His career consisted of two starts in American Endurance Racing during 2018, yielding no wins or podiums. He finished P75 in his final outing.[1]
The limited sample of Fontana's racing contains one notable element. Across his two starts he finished ahead of several drivers graded as professionals by the FIA; among them were Varun Choksey, a Silver-graded sportscar driver rated 3,600, and Mark Smith, a Bronze-graded professional rated 3,547. These results were isolated instances rather than a pattern, occurring within a field-size context that endurance racing typically provides, but they do show that Fontana was capable of competitive finishes against established professionals in his brief time racing. He has been retired since 2018.
