Rob Hodes is an entry-level professional competing in international and domestic multiclass endurance racing, holding an FIA Bronze grading that places him among amateur and gentleman drivers. He raced primarily for Team Virage across four series from 2016 to 2022, piloting LMP2 and LMP3 prototypes in European Le Mans Series, Le Mans Cup, Road to Le Mans and IMSA events, and shared a Lamborghini in Super Trofeo competition early in his indexed racing.[1]
Over seven seasons and 56 starts, Hodes took two podium finishes; one came in IMSA Prototype Challenge, the other in the top-class IMSA WeatherTech championship driving an LMP2 prototype for DragonSpeed USA. His most sustained work lay in Le Mans Cup, where he made 18 starts for Team Virage across four years. He also competed in the European Le Mans Series multiclass grid and the Road to Le Mans support series in 2019 through 2022.[2]
Hodes typically finished behind the regulars he faced most often; both Anthony Wells, a Bronze-graded professional with 40 Le Mans Cup starts, and Colin Noble, an entry-level professional and FIA Gold driver who accumulated 47 Le Mans Cup entries, outpaced him in head-to-head competition. His strongest finishes came against established professionals: he beat Tom Dillmann, an FIA Gold driver and multiple-time champion including the 2022 Le Mans Cup LMP3 title, once, and finished ahead of Malthe Jakobsen, a Gold-graded professional and two-time Asian Le Mans Series champion, in a single meeting.
