🇬🇧 Richard Grant

Richard Grant is a developing driver whose racing career sits at the club and competitive-amateur level; his Racer Rating of 430 places him among drivers consistently at the back of professional fields or with too few races against top-tier competition to have progressed beyond entry level. Across nine seasons from 2018 to 2026, Grant has competed primarily in Trans-Am, where he recorded 26 starts without wins or podiums, and has recently moved into International GT racing in 2025, where he has taken a single podium finish from 17 starts. His average finishing position across all 45 starts stands at P7.3.[1]

The pattern of Grant's results against his most frequent rivals tells a clear story of a driver outpaced by the fields in which he competes. Against Amy Ruman, a semi-professional driver, Grant finished ahead in seven of 24 shared races but trailed in seventeen. His record against stronger professionals is starker: he was outfinished by Chris Dyson, a four-time champion and established professional, in nineteen of twenty-three encounters, and by Tomy Drissi, a FIA Bronze-graded semi-professional, in twenty-two of twenty-three races. Grant's scattered victories over stronger drivers, four finishes ahead of Dyson, three ahead of FIA Silver-graded Boris Said, and single results against champions Paul Menard and Matt Brabham, represent isolated race-day results rather than evidence of sustained competitive parity. His only podium finish came in International GT in 2025, where fields and competition remain undefined in the available record.[2]

Grant remains active in racing while pursuing a career in Australian television as a presenter and game-show host. His recent activity includes the 2024 Trans-Am season and a move into International GT competition, though results have not yet shown progression beyond his established level of competition.
