🇨🇦 Scott Hargrove

Scott Hargrove is a Canadian professional-level sportscar and endurance racing driver with a Racer Rating of 4,289, placing him in the professional band; this level describes drivers who are competitive front-runners in strong feeder series and the sharp end of professional racing fields, though not regulars at the very top. He holds FIA Silver grading, the professional classification for sportscar racing, typically assigned to drivers early in their careers at that level. His primary wins came early, in the Pro Mazda Championship in 2014, when he took three victories and ten podiums across seventeen starts for JDC Motorsports, a result that secured him the championship that year. Since transitioning to sportscar racing from 2016 onward, Hargrove has won twice more in one-off outings in Porsche GT3 Cup competition but has struggled to convert his pace into victories in higher-profile series; across thirteen IMSA WeatherTech starts from 2019 to 2025 he managed only a single podium.[1]

Hargrove's most consistent competitive pattern emerges in head-to-head records against semi-professional and professional-level rivals in shared endurance fields. Against Neil Alberico and Dalton Kellett, both FIA Silver drivers, he holds winning records of 17 to 8 and 17 to 7 respectively; against Robby Foley, an FIA Gold former champion, he finished ahead in 13 of eighteen races, a notably strong record. His average finishing position of P9.1 across all starts reflects his typical place in mid-to-upper grid fields. Hargrove has competed occasionally against genuinely elite drivers; he finished ahead of Felix Rosenqvist, an FIA Gold champion, on four occasions, and posted isolated top results against Alex Lynn and Jack Aitken, both FIA Platinum former champions, though these are individual race results rather than patterns of dominance. His career spans 12 seasons from 2009 to 2025, with the bulk of his recent activity in endurance racing at IMSA level, where he continues to race as of 2025.[2]
