🏳️ Robert Ames

Robert Ames is a club-level endurance racing driver with a Racer Rating of 1,557, placing him in the developing to club band. This rating reflects a driver competing in fields that do not meet the standard of professional motorsport, though with enough consistency to establish a genuine record.[1]

Ames has contested 13 races across American Endurance Racing between 2018 and 2026, averaging a finishing position of P3.5 with 2 wins and 9 podium finishes. His record shows strength in a specific peer group; he has a notably favourable head-to-head record against Louis Pallay, finishing ahead in six of seven shared races, and has beaten several drivers rated as semi-professionals or above in isolated instances, including David Russell, a much stronger FIA Silver driver, twice. Against his most frequent rival Mike Dipillo, a three-time American Endurance Racing Class 4 champion, Ames holds an even record of four wins and four losses in eight encounters, though Dipillo's higher rating of 1,709 and multiple titles indicate sustained superiority. More telling is his record against Carl Becker, whom he has outfinished only once in eight races; this disparity suggests inconsistency in his performance relative to the field. His most recent activity in 2026 yielded three podiums in three rounds but a low finishing position of P19, indicating variability characteristic of a developing driver in a competitive amateur environment.
