🏳️ Pat Daly

Pat Daly is a competitive amateur driver whose rating of 2,423 places him at club racing level, meaning he competes successfully in regional fields and against professionals in limited circumstances, but does not sustain the win rate or consistency needed for semi-professional status. His career record spans four seasons in the Lucas Oil Formula Car Race Series between 2016 and 2019, accumulating 46 starts, 5 wins and 15 podiums. He finished 5th on average across all classified races, a solid outcome in his category, and was most active in 2019 when he claimed 3 wins and 6 podiums across 15 rounds to finish eighth in the series.[1]

Daly's competitive record reveals a driver who occasionally beat stronger rivals but struggled against the field's most consistent performers. He finished ahead of three drivers rated above 3,900, most notably Reece Gold, the 2018 Lucas Oil Formula Car Race Series champion, though only once in their single meeting. Against his most frequent rivals at his own level, he held a winning head-to-head record of 21 finishes ahead to 16 behind against Jeff Stern, the 2019 series Masters champion, across 37 shared races. However, he finished behind Cameron Tedder, an FIA Silver-graded driver, 11 times to 6 and trailed Mo Smith, the 2016 Masters champion, 12 times to 8 in their respective matchups. Daly retired from racing after 2019.[2]
