🏳️ Steve Katznelson

Steve Katznelson is a competitive amateur racer with a Racer Rating of 1,839, placing him in the club racing tier. This level represents consistent front-running performance in club and regional racing, where he competes among semi-professional fields rather than among full-time professionals; he is genuinely quick within his own sphere but not yet operating at a level that would place him against the strongest drivers in national or international championships.[1]

Katznelson has raced exclusively in American Endurance Racing across five seasons from 2021 to 2025, accumulating 27 starts with 8 wins and 17 podiums. His average finish of P3.6 across all classified races reflects the consistency of his performance in this series. His head-to-head record against his most frequent rivals, the semi-professional endurance racers Matt Ivey and Mike Dipillo (both multiple-time Class 4 champions), tilts in his favour; he has finished ahead of Ivey in 10 of 15 shared races and ahead of Dipillo in 9 of 15, demonstrating a genuine competitive advantage over drivers of similar standing. He has also outrun Alex Rubenstein, a three-time Class 4 champion, in 7 of 10 shared races. Against weaker rivals in his field such as Carl Becker and Sam Keller, he has established clear dominance. His record against much stronger drivers from outside endurance racing, notably Colin Garrett, a Silver-graded sportscar professional and TC America champion, consists of isolated victories rather than sustained competition; these are noteworthy results but do not alter the picture of where he sits in the competitive pyramid. In 2025, his most recent season, Katznelson has continued to perform at his established level with 1 win and 3 podiums across 3 rounds.
