🇯🇵 Richard Bradley

Richard Bradley is a professional endurance racing driver, FIA Gold graded, who competed primarily in the World Endurance Championship from 2013 to 2022 with ARC Bratislava and in the European Le Mans Series from 2021 to 2024 with Algarve Pro Racing. He drove LMP2 prototypes in multiclass competition, piloting shared cars in endurance formats where drivers rotate through long-distance races.[1]

Bradley won the 2014 WEC championship and took six wins across his career: five in WEC and one in the European Le Mans Series. His podium tally of eighteen finishes came largely from WEC, where he accrued twelve of them in thirty starts. He also competed in IMSA WeatherTech in 2016 with one podium, briefly raced in Super GT in 2018, and made early-career starts in Formula 3 competition in 2011 and 2012 before establishing himself as an endurance specialist. His most recent activity came in 2022 WEC, where he finished twentieth in the championship standings.[2]

Bradley typically finished behind his most regular opponents in the WEC grid, including Roman Rusinov and Julien Canal, both professionals of similar or stronger standing. His record against elite-level drivers outside endurance racing produced occasional results; he finished ahead of Platinum-graded drivers such as Mitch Evans and Carlos Sainz, though these meetings were infrequent and did not represent his typical competitive level. His strongest period came through his tenure with KCMG, one of the grid's more prominent teams, where he secured the bulk of his championship points and his title win.
