🏳️ Robert Manouchehri

Robert Manouchehri is a club-level driver; his rating of 1,231 places him in the developing tier, where competitors are consistently at the back of club fields or have too few races on record to have progressed beyond entry level. Manouchehri raced for three seasons from 2016 to 2018 across NASA and American Endurance Racing, accumulating 15 starts. He won twice in NASA competition, both victories coming in 2018, and posted eight podiums overall. His average finishing position of 3.6 across all classified starts reflects strong local results, but the head-to-head record against his regular rivals tells a different story; he finished ahead of Aaron Spiegel eight times in ten races, a genuine strength, yet trailed Aaron Leichty nine times in the same number of meetings and finished behind Michael Neuman, the 2016 and 2017 NASA PTE champion, in five of nine shared races.[1]

Manouchehri spent the bulk of his racing life in the Mazda Miata, contesting 12 of his 15 starts in the marque. His most competitive season was 2018, his final year, when he scored both his wins and four podiums across three NASA rounds before taking a single podium finish in American Endurance Racing. His occasional outings against stronger drivers produced isolated bright spots; he beat established professionals such as Eric Pennington twice and Jake Katznelson and Alex Rubenstein once each, but these results did not form a pattern. Manouchehri has since retired from racing.
