🏳️ Richard Cofer

Richard Cofer is a developing amateur competing in NASA, a national multiclass endurance championship where solo drivers race spec BMWs and other machinery in a shared grid that spans amateur through professional entrants. He races a Spec E30 class BMW E30 3-series and has been active since 2010. His rating of 836 places him at the lower end of the competitive amateur band, indicating he is still building experience and consistency at club level.[1]

Across 15 seasons on record, Cofer has accumulated 85 starts and two podium finishes in NASA competition. He has remained in single-digit podium count throughout his time in the series, with results that have kept him in the lower reaches of championship standings. In the current season, he is 47th in championship points after two rounds raced.[2]

Cofer most often races against Robert Grace, a multiple NASA Spec E30 champion across four consecutive years from 2010 to 2013 who has also raced in American Endurance Racing, and Carter Hunt, another regular NASA competitor; he typically finishes behind both. He has beaten entry-level professionals Lance Bergstein, who also competes in IMSA Pilot Challenge and GT4 America, and Garrett Manes once each, though both drivers carry significantly more varied and higher-level race experience than Cofer himself possesses.
