Simon Watts is a retired British racing driver who holds a Racer Rating of 3,239, placing him in the semi-professional band; this level describes amateur and gentleman drivers who race in professional fields, typically in sportscar and endurance racing. His FIA categorisation is Bronze, the official grading for amateurs competing in GT and endurance racing. Watts competed in the 2022 British GT Championship with Team Rocket RJN, a team that fielded multiple drivers and scored race wins that season but did not win through him.[1]
Watts made seven starts in British GT during 2022 without recording a podium finish, averaging 11th place in classified races. He raced against a strong field that included Platinum-graded professionals such as Sandy Mitchell, a former champion, and multiple former champions including Ian Loggie. Against Mitchell, Watts finished behind him in all six shared races. He fared slightly better against Loggie, beating him once across six encounters but finishing behind him five times. He also shared races with established professionals such as Adam Balon and James Cottingham, consistently finishing outside the points against them. His most competitive results came against Joel Eriksson, a Platinum-graded professional, whom Watts beat twice; these were isolated results rather than a sustained pattern. The weight of evidence across his calendar shows a driver outpaced by the professionals and former champions in the field, with occasional bright moments against established competition.[2]
