🇺🇸 Pat Daly

Pat Daly is a semi-professional driver who raced formula cars in the Lucas Oil Formula Car Race Series, a national American multiclass championship. He competed from 2016 to 2019 across both the Championship and Masters classes, recording 46 starts, 5 wins and 15 podiums before retiring from the series.[1]

Daly's four-season tenure produced consistent mid-field results. His best finish came in 2019, when he took three wins and six podiums across the full 15-round season to finish eighth in the championship standings. His earlier campaigns were quieter, though he accumulated two wins in 2017 and two more in 2018.[2]

He raced regularly against established amateurs who would go on to win the series; Jeff Stern, who won the Masters class in 2019 after 61 series starts, and Mo Smith, Masters champion in 2016, were frequent opponents and closely matched with Daly throughout his tenure. He finished ahead of Aaron Jeansonne, a FIA Silver-graded professional with extensive experience across Mazda MX-5 Cup and Porsche Carrera Cup competition, and of Reece Gold, a 2018 Lucas Oil Formula Car Race Series champion who later moved to Indy Pro 2000 and Indy NXT competition.
