🇦🇺 Ryder Quinn

Ryder Quinn is a competitive amateur, rated 2,511. This level describes drivers racing in club and regional series, and in entry-level professional-am fields, where a real licence and serious competition exist but the driver sits below the full professional ranks. Quinn competes as an FIA Silver graded driver in sportscar and endurance racing, a professional-level categorisation for young or early-career competitors; within that discipline, Silver denotes a driver typically racing alongside full professionals rather than among them.[1]

Quinn's record consists of a single start in the 2026 Bathurst 12 Hour for Q/Team. In that one-off endurance outing, Quinn finished eighth in class, a notable result for a driver in their first season on record. That single race included finishes ahead of established Silver and Gold graded competitors; David Russell, a professional-level endurance driver rated 4,801, and Zach Bates, a Gold graded professional rated 4,540, both finished behind Quinn in that outing. The result suggests early promise in the endurance format, though a single race provides limited foundation on which to build a pattern.[2]

Quinn has joined the BMW M Racing Academy's customer racing support programme as part of its 2026 intake, entering a structured pathway aimed at developing drivers in professional-am competition. With only one race in the index, the driver remains in the formative stages of a sportscar career; further results across a full season will be needed to establish whether the Bathurst result represents emerging ability in the category or a single strong performance against the field present that day.
