🏳️ Sean Noonan

Sean Noonan is a competitive amateur driver whose rating of 2,724 places him at the front end of club racing; this level describes drivers who race regularly against professionals in regional and amateur fields but do not sustain results at the national championship front. Across seven seasons from 2019 to 2026, Noonan has made 52 starts primarily in SCCA regional and national competition, with a career average finish of P12.8. He has recorded three wins, all in lower-tier fields; two victories came in SCCA Regionals and one in American Endurance Racing, where he has also shown his strongest performance relative to field strength with two podiums in seven starts.[1]

Noonan's head-to-head record against his most frequent rivals illustrates the nature of club-level competition. Among drivers racing with him regularly, he holds a losing record against nearly all; against Nick Leverone, the 2023 SCCA Regionals SM champion and 2025 SCCA Majors STL champion, Noonan finished ahead 10 times but behind 14 across 24 meetings. He has also lost ground consistently to Elivan Goulart, a FIA Bronze graded professional, finishing behind that driver 14 times in 16 races. However, Noonan has shown occasional capability against substantially stronger drivers; he beat Chris Craft, a driver rated nearly 2,500 points higher, once, and outfinished James Hunt, the 1976 Formula 1 world champion, twice in their limited meetings. These isolated results indicate moments of competitive form rather than a sustained pattern, and they do not alter his profile as an amateur competitor finding his place within regional racing.
