🇺🇸 Paul Sparta

Paul Sparta is a semi-professional endurance racing driver competing for Random Vandals Racing, an established operation that has fielded 28 drivers and accumulated 71 wins across the indexed results. Sparta races primarily in multiclass endurance championships where amateurs and semi-professionals share grids with graded professionals. He holds an FIA Bronze rating, the amateur classification in endurance racing. His main campaign has been in American Endurance Racing, where he drove shared-car entries in Classes 4, 5 and A; more recently he has raced GT4 cars in GT4 America and IMSA Pilot Challenge, and made solo appearances in GT America.[1]

Across nine seasons from 2017 to 2025, Sparta has taken 20 wins and 48 podiums from 84 starts. His record was built largely in American Endurance Racing, where he won the championship twice; he took the 2019 title and the 2022 title across 46 starts that yielded 16 wins and 34 podiums. His transition to shorter-format racing began in 2023 with entries in GT4 America and IMSA Pilot Challenge. In GT4 America he has 3 wins and 10 podiums from 24 starts, while his IMSA Pilot Challenge record stands at 1 podium from 11 starts. A brief appearance in GT America in 2025 brought 2 podiums from 2 starts, and he took a win at the Veterans Race of Remembrance that same year.[2]

Sparta races regularly against entry-level professionals graded Bronze, including two-time GT4 America Am champions James Clay and Charlie Postins, against whom he is closely matched. He has also finished ahead of established professionals; he beat NASCAR Cup Series driver Bubba Wallace once and Corey Heim, FIA Silver-graded and the 2025 NASCAR Truck champion, once in endurance competition. His wins in shared-car racing carry the caveat that co-drivers share the result, yet his paired finishes against graded professionals in mixed amateur-professional fields demonstrate his capability at his level.
