Robert Sanders is an active competitor in the Lucas Oil Formula Car Race Series, where he has contested nineteen races across the 2024 to 2026 seasons. His record of one win and ten podiums reflects a driver operating at the lower end of the amateur to semi-professional range, with an average finishing position of P3.7 when he reaches the chequered flag. His Racer Rating of 1,027 places him in a competitive field populated by club and regional racers rather than professionals or established national-level competitors.[1]
Sanders' head-to-head record reveals a mixed standing among his regular rivals. He has dominated the weakest competitors in his field; he finished ahead of Robert Pearlmutter in ten of eleven shared races and ahead of Alex Hawley in twelve of sixteen encounters, both of whom are significantly less experienced than Sanders. However, against stronger opposition the picture reverses sharply. Against Donnie Steele, a two-time champion rated nearly twice as highly, Sanders finished ahead just once in fifteen races. He also trails Dom Bastian, Quentin Wahl, and Hal Gould in their head-to-head records, though he has beaten each of them on occasion. His most recent activity shows the pattern continuing; in 2026 he scored two podiums across six rounds and finished sixth in the final standings, suggesting he remains competitive at the middle tier of his series but struggles consistently against its strongest drivers.
