Ross Carmichael is a developing-level driver competing in NASA, a national multiclass championship that runs amateur through professional entrants in fifteen classes per race. He raced a BMW 325i in the GTS2 and Super Touring 5 classes across six seasons from 2015 to 2024, compiling 30 starts, 3 wins and 5 podiums before retiring.[1]
Carmichael took all three of his wins and all five podiums in 2024, his final season, finishing 8th in the championship standings that year. His record across the prior five seasons yielded no wins and no podiums. Against the regular opposition in his class, he typically finished behind Richard Bosco and Art Kurshudian, both developing drivers with substantially more NASA experience. He beat Eric Foss, a Silver-graded entry-level professional and 2017 IMSA Pilot Challenge ST champion, twice in their fifteen meetings, and finished ahead of Will Choice three times.[2]
