🇺🇸 Robert Noaker

Robert Noaker is a professional racing driver competing in national-level solo sprint and multiclass endurance series in the United States. He holds an FIA Silver licence and races for his own Robert Noaker Racing team in the Mustang Challenge, where he drives a Ford Mustang Dark Horse R in the DH class. He also competes in the IMSA Pilot Challenge endurance series for McCumbee McAleer Racing, sharing a GT4-level production car in the GS class with co-drivers.[1]

Noaker has won two consecutive Mustang Challenge titles, in 2024 and 2025, accumulating 15 wins and 21 podiums across 22 starts in that series. His earlier record spans a decade of national racing beginning in 2017, including 52 starts in the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin from 2018 to 2023, where he took 7 wins and finished consistently in the top ten. He has also raced in NASA's multiclass championship, Trans-Am TA2, and the IMSA Pilot Challenge, where his single win came across 17 starts in shared-car endurance racing. Across all series he holds a rating of 4,899, placing him at professional level; his Mustang Challenge dominance and sustained podium finishes in the MX-5 Cup suggest performance well above entry-level despite that rating band.[2]

In the Mustang Challenge, Noaker operates at the front of a field including the 2025 DHL champion Alex Bachoura, whom he regularly beats. His record in the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup, where he competed against entry-level professionals including Selin Rollan, shows consistent front-running pace; he has also finished ahead of established professionals such as Connor Zilisch, a Gold-graded driver and two-time NASCAR champion, on six occasions. His recent activity includes his seventh-place championship finish in the 2023 MX-5 Cup and ongoing participation in the IMSA Pilot Challenge, where he races alongside amateur and semi-professional drivers in a mixed-grade field.
