🇺🇸 Ryan Booth

Ryan Booth is a semi-professional driver whose career record places him at the competitive amateur to semi-professional threshold, with a Racer Rating of 3,759. Across 16 single-seater starts between 2009 and 2014, he scored one podium finish and averaged a tenth-place grid position, competing primarily in Pro Mazda and Star Mazda machinery. His most substantial campaign came in the 2014 Pro Mazda Championship, where he made 14 starts for JDC Motorsports without recording a victory but establishing himself in the field with mixed results against a competitive grid.[1]

Booth's head-to-head record against contemporaries reveals a driver solidly mid-pack in his era. In shared races against established professionals, he finished behind Kyle Kaiser and Spencer Pigot more often than ahead of them, losing 10 of 14 meetings to Kaiser and 11 of 14 to Pigot, both of whom later became series champions and established professionals with Gold and Silver FIA grades respectively. He held a roughly even record against Garett Grist and Jose Gutiérrez, each 7-7, and notably finished 11 times behind Scott Hargrove across 14 races, despite Hargrove being a fellow Pro Mazda competitor. Against a smaller sample of much stronger drivers, Booth recorded isolated wins over elite-level machinery; he beat both Jack Aitken, a Platinum-graded Formula Renault champion, and Luis Felipe Derani once each, though these were exceptions in otherwise uncompetitive matchups.

After his final Star Mazda outing in 2009, Booth stepped away from full-time circuit racing. Recent activity suggests a shift toward rallying and service park roles rather than returning to racing.
