Rob Hodes is a retired American amateur sportscar driver rated 3,077, placing him in the middle tier of a competitive club-level field. Across seven seasons from 2016 to 2022, he accumulated 30 starts in prototype and endurance racing without recording a victory, though he achieved two podium finishes. His work centered on IMSA Prototype Challenge, where he spent four seasons with Nielsen Racing and posted one podium from 14 starts, and European Le Mans Series, where he ran 12 races for Team Virage between 2021 and 2022 without reaching the podium. He also made two brief IMSA WeatherTech appearances for DragonSpeed USA, securing a single podium in the process, and competed in two Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo rounds in 2016.[1]
Hodes held FIA Bronze status, a classification denoting an amateur driver competing among professionals in endurance and sportscar racing. His head-to-head record against repeated rivals reflects this standing. Against Matthew Bell, a two-time Gold-graded champion, Hodes finished ahead just twice in fifteen shared races. He showed a similar pattern against Austin McCusker, a Silver-graded former champion, winning the head-to-head battle only four times across thirteen races. Against peers rated in his own band, such as Joel Janco and Keith Grant, he competed evenly; his record remained competitive but unremarkable. Hodes occasionally finished ahead of much stronger drivers in single appearances, including a pair of outings ahead of Kenton Koch, a three-time Gold champion, but these were isolated results rather than sustained patterns. His average finishing position across all classified starts was tenth place, confirming a mid-field amateur standing in fields populated by professional-level competitors.
