Raoul Hyman is a South African racing driver with a Racer Rating of 4,795, placing him in the professional band; this means he competed at the sharp end of national-level and strong feeder championships, capable of beating semi-professional drivers comfortably but operating in fields well below the world's elite. His record spans seven seasons from 2013 to 2022 across single-seaters and reflects both the strengths and limits of a career built on consistency in secondary series rather than progression to the top tier. He won the 2022 Formula Regional Americas championship with 11 victories in 18 starts, a dominant display in the final year of his single-seater career; this remains his primary achievement and the foundation of his professional rating.[1]

The bulk of his record came in GB3 from 2013 to 2016, where he scored 4 wins and 15 podiums across 45 starts for HHC Motorsport, establishing himself as a competitive mid-field runner. His ventures into stronger categories proved less successful. In FIA Formula 3 European, he failed to score points across 29 starts; he managed a similar outcome in Formula 3 in 2019, going pointless over 16 races. His head-to-head record against his most frequent rivals tells the story clearly: against Arjun Maini, a Gold-graded professional, Hyman finished ahead 30 times but behind 32 times, a near-equal split suggesting drivers of comparable level; against George Russell, an elite professional and multiple champion, he finished ahead only 17 times against 47 defeats across 64 shared races, a gap reflecting Russell's substantially higher calibre. Hyman finished ahead of occasional stronger drivers, including Alex Palou and Liam Lawson, but these were isolated results rather than patterns.[2]

Since retirement from single-seaters, Hyman has competed in sportscar and endurance racing, earning an FIA Gold classification. His recent activity shows continued involvement in Indian racing competitions, winning races in the Indian Racing Festival and Indian Racing League in early 2026.
