Robert Perlmutter is in his second season of racing in the Lucas Oil Formula Car Race Series, a club-level single-seater category. His record spans 21 starts across 2025 and 2026, yielding 3 wins and 8 podiums with an average finish of fourth place. In the most recent 2026 season, he won 3 races and recorded 6 podiums across 9 rounds to secure the championship.[1]
Perlmutter's head-to-head record against the field is mixed. He has a winning record against Alex Hawley, a lower-rated rival, finishing ahead in 12 of 21 shared races. Against stronger opposition, the picture is more difficult. He trails two-time champion Donnie Steele significantly, finishing ahead only 5 times in 17 races despite Steele's higher rating. Against Chris Becker and Hal Gould, Perlmutter finishes behind them in the majority of their encounters. His sole win against Jeff Relic across seven races stands as an outlier rather than a pattern. The 2026 championship success suggests Perlmutter has improved as the season progressed, but his overall competitive standing within the field remains modest relative to the stronger drivers in the series.
