🇺🇸 Ross Poole

Ross Poole is an amateur-level sportscar and endurance driver rated 2,075, placing him in the lower half of active competitors. His career spans three seasons from 2024 to 2026 across multiple series, with 25 starts yielding five wins and eleven podiums. The bulk of his success came in 2024, when he won the International GT championship with five wins and eleven podiums from thirteen starts, a dominant campaign that anchored his record. Since then, his results have contracted significantly; he has made seven starts in GT4 America and Porsche Sprint Challenge competition in 2025 and 2026 without reaching the podium, suggesting the 2024 season represented a peak performance rather than an established level.[1]

Poole's standing within bronze-graded sportscar racing is middling. Against his most frequent rivals, he has a losing record against drivers rated in the 3,000 to 3,700 range; he finished behind James Clay, Alex Garcia, Kris Wilson, and Michael Garcia more often than ahead of them across seven shared races each. His two clear head-to-head wins came against Judson Holt and Denny Stripling, both lower-rated bronze drivers. On single occasions he has finished ahead of notably stronger professionals such as Darius Trinka (a former champion), James Walker Jr., and Jonathan Browne, but these isolated results do not suggest a pattern of competitive advantage. His average finishing position of 5.2 across all starts reflects inconsistency; he is competitive enough to win races but not reliable enough to sustain that level.[2]

His recent activity in 2025 and 2026 with ACI Motorsports in GT4 America and the Porsche Sprint Challenge has yielded no podiums, and a solitary SVRA start in 2024 ended with a field position well down the order. The trajectory suggests that his 2024 International GT championship may have been specific to that field and machinery rather than evidence of sustained professional ability at higher levels.
