🏳️ Stanley Cosper

Stanley Cosper is a retired club-level racer with a Racer Rating of 659, placing him among developing drivers competing in fields that do not regularly meet professionals. His career spanned 16 starts across NASA and SCCA Majors between 2005 and 2021, all without a win or podium finish. He raced primarily in Mazda Miata machinery and finished on average in 26th position across his classified starts.[1]

In head-to-head competition against his regular rivals, Cosper struggled consistently. He finished behind stronger drivers like Phillip McCammon, Danny Steyn, and Vinnie Baratta in the vast majority of their shared races; only against William Keeling did he achieve a winning record, finishing ahead in five of their eight encounters. Cosper's most notable result was a single finish ahead of Connor Zilisch, now an FIA Gold driver and 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series champion, though this represents an isolated race rather than a competitive pattern. He also beat Matthew Payne, an FIA Gold driver with a Racer Rating of 6,219, four times across their shared races, a result that stands out against the general calibre of competition he faced. However, the broader evidence of his record against established and semi-professional drivers suggests Cosper was outpaced in most fields he entered.
