Ron Palmer is a developing driver competing in PCA Club Racing, a multiclass championship run entirely in the United States. He raced Porsches in the GT3 and GT3R classes across seven seasons from 2011 to 2018, most recently with three rounds in 2018 that left him 22nd in the championship standings.[1]

Palmer took three wins and ten podiums from 21 starts in the series. His best finishes came against a field that mixed amateurs and semi-professionals with graded professionals; he regularly outpaced fellow developing drivers Chris Murray and Eric Monroe, and beat entry-level professional Mike Skinner twice across their nine meetings in PCA Club Racing, with Skinner's background including 52 NASCAR Xfinity starts and international GT racing.[2]
