Ryan Bittner was a competitive amateur racing in NASA, a multiclass sprint championship mixing amateurs with graded professionals across fifteen classes in a single race. He drove a spec BMW E46 3-series in the Spec E46 class and production-based cars in Super Touring 5, primarily for Team Palomar Racing.[1]
Over four seasons from 2019 to 2022, Bittner made 50 starts and took 10 wins with 40 podium finishes. His best season was 2022, when he scored 4 wins and 20 podiums across 25 rounds to finish third in the championship standings. He was a regular fixture in his classes and won races consistently throughout his career.[2]
In the multiclass field, Bittner typically finished ahead of fellow developing drivers such as Peter Oneppo and Eirik Holm, both regular NASA competitors. He also beat entry-level professionals including Jonathan Perichon, who was among the strongest drivers fielded by Team Palomar Racing and was a GT4 America and NASA regular, and Lucas Weisenberg, an entry-level professional who moved between NASA, the TGRNA GR Cup and IMSA Pilot Challenge competition.
