Richard Manus competed in one season of International GT racing in 2024, retiring after six rounds. He finished every classified race in the points, averaging a second-place result across all starts. His season yielded five podium finishes but no wins, and he ended the championship in sixth position overall.[1]
Manus's results were competitive within his immediate peer group. He secured three victories over Ernestas Puzelis, a driver of equivalent rating, and beat Ariel Aufgang twice. Against the stronger field, however, his record was asymmetrical; he finished behind FIA Bronze graded Ross Poole in all six meetings, establishing a consistent gap to that driver. He also trailed Wes Wood in three shared races. His best results came in head-to-head racing against mid-field competitors, where he demonstrated the consistency to accumulate podiums throughout the season.
The brevity of his recorded career makes deeper analysis difficult. His Racer Rating of 1,594 places him in club-level territory rather than professional standing. With only one season completed and no championship points accrued, Manus remains a minor figure in the database; whether his retirement is permanent or temporary is not recorded.
