Ramin Abdolvahabi was an amateur endurance racing driver competing in national multiclass GT and production-car championships. He raced primarily for Automatic Racing in the IMSA Pilot Challenge from 2016 to 2024, sharing a GT4 or lightly modified production car with co-drivers across 40 starts in that series. He also made two appearances in the IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge in 2023, driving solo in a GT4 car. His FIA categorisation was Bronze, marking him as an amateur within endurance racing's graded structure.[1]
Abdolvahabi's nine seasons in the indexed record span 42 starts, all in IMSA national championships. He typically finished outside the points in multiclass fields, and his championship finish in 2023 placed him 22nd in the VP Racing standings after two rounds. He faced regular opposition from Silver-graded professionals including Eric Foss, the 2017 Pilot Challenge ST champion, and Robin Liddell, who won the 2023 Pilot Challenge GS title; Abdolvahabi usually finished behind both. His best results came against drivers with credentials elsewhere: he finished ahead of Chase Briscoe, an elite professional with 219 NASCAR Cup Series starts and the 2016 ARCA championship, and ahead of Corey Heim, an established professional and three-time NASCAR Truck Series champion.[2]
Abdolvahabi raced a field mixing amateurs and semi-professionals with graded professionals, most often against drivers competing their first or second full season in IMSA. His nine years with Automatic Racing, a small team with two wins across its history, placed him among its longer-serving drivers.
