🏳️ Robert Gross

Robert Gross is a developing amateur driver competing in SCCA single-seater racing. His rating of 467 places him in the developing band, which describes drivers consistently at the back of club fields or with too few races to have progressed beyond entry level; in his case, the record shows both. Across six seasons from 2021 to 2026, Gross has started 31 races and scored a single podium finish in SCCA Regionals, with an average finishing position of seventh.[1]

Gross has raced primarily in SCCA Majors, where he has made 23 starts without a win or podium. His head-to-head record against the field is decisively unfavourable. Against his most frequent rival, Theodore Burns, who won the 2024 SCCA Majors FF championship, Gross finished ahead only once in 18 shared races. Against Jonathan Kotyk, champion of the 2025 SCCA Majors FF, he finished ahead once in nine meetings. Similar patterns hold across the rest of his regular competition; he has beaten semi-professional and amateur drivers on occasion but finishes behind them far more often. His podium came in SCCA Regionals rather than the higher-profile Majors series, suggesting he has found his level in that lighter competition.

Gross remains active in 2025, most recently competing at the SCCA Runoffs. The lack of wins and the consistent finishing position outside the points across six seasons indicates a driver still developing within club racing rather than one ready for the next competitive tier.
