🏳️ Richard Colburn

Richard Colburn is a club-level racing driver; his rating of 1,259 places him at the developing end of competitive amateur racing, where drivers are building experience in club and regional fields. Across six seasons from 2020 to 2025, Colburn has started six times in the SCCA Runoffs without recording a win or podium finish. His average finishing position of 7.2 reflects consistent mid-field running in a series where the fields appear modest in size.[1]

Colburn's head-to-head record against his regular rivals tells a story of racing among drivers of similar calibre. Against competitors rated between 1,200 and 1,900, he has struggled to break through; he finished behind Greg Gyann, Tim Day Jr, and Lucian Pancea in all their shared races, though he has held a slight edge over Michael Moulton with three finishes ahead. His occasional victories over stronger drivers such as Robert Iversen, a Bronze-graded FIA professional, and Lawrence Loshak suggest moments of competitiveness, but these remain isolated results rather than evidence of sustained performance against the upper tier of his field.

Colburn has recently returned to racing with a Standard Vanguard Six, a rare saloon entry in what appears to be a vintage or historic racing programme. The move suggests he is pursuing racing as an amateur hobbyist in specialist classes rather than in the mainstream competitive ladder.
