Richard Forsythe was a semi-professional racing driver who competed in Trans-Am, a national multiclass championship that mixes amateur and professional drivers across six classes on the same grid. He raced lightly modified production-based GT cars in the GT and SGT classes.[1]
Forsythe spent three seasons in Trans-Am between 2022 and 2024, taking nine starts across that span. He won four races and finished on the podium seven times. His peak came in 2024, when he scored three wins and four podiums from five rounds and finished second in the championship standings.[2]
Against the regular opposition in his class, Forsythe typically finished ahead of both club and entry-level professional competition. He beat Kaylee Bryson, the 2024 Trans-Am SGT champion, four times across their meetings, and finished ahead of Lee Saunders, a two-time Trans-Am SGT champion with 31 series starts, twice over his career.
