🇨🇭 Shannon Lugassy

Shannon Lugassy is a semi-professional driver whose rating of 2,991 places him at the competitive amateur level, representing the entry point to professional racing where drivers compete against paid professionals in their early careers but have not yet established themselves as consistent race winners. His racing record consists of a single season in 2023, when he made two starts in Formula Regional European for KIC Motorsport without scoring points or podium finishes. He averaged a P20.5 finishing position across his classified starts.[1]

Despite the modest surface results, Lugassy showed occasional speed relative to his peers in that field. Across his limited rounds he finished ahead of several drivers with higher ratings and FIA Silver grading; notably he beat Sami Meguetounif, ranked 5,243, Charlie Wurz at 4,834, Santiago Ramos at 4,567, and Niels Koolen at 3,706 in isolated instances. These were one-off results rather than sustained competitive patterns, but they indicate Lugassy was capable of occasionally matching drivers with considerably more established records in that series.

KIC Motorsport, the team that ran Lugassy's two starts, had not recorded race wins at the time of his participation, though it had fielded a roster of 19 drivers across its index history with its strongest recruit being Konsta Lappalainen, rated 5,759. Lugassy's racing career ended after the 2023 season and he is now retired from competition.
