🏳️ Ted Sahley

Ted Sahley is a competitive amateur racing driver with a Racer Rating of 2,450, placing him in the club racing band; this level describes drivers who race with a real competition licence in organised fields, typically at the regional or entry-level professional bracket. Sahley's career on record spans two seasons, from 2018 to 2019, with twelve starts in the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin, racing for Atlanta Speedwerks. He recorded no wins or podium finishes across this period and averaged a finishing position of 20th place when classified.[1]

Sahley's competitive record shows him consistently outpaced by the field. Across ten races against semi-professional driver Selin Rollan, an FIA Silver graded driver Robert Stout, and professional-level competitor Luke Oxner, Sahley finished behind all of them in every shared start. He also raced nine times against Bryan Ortiz, the 2019 Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup ND2 champion, and Nathanial Sparks, a former series champion from 2016, finishing behind both in each outing. His best result came against stronger drivers only sporadically; he beat professional-tier driver Michael Dinan once and FIA Silver competitor Nikko Reger once, alongside occasional finishes ahead of David Staab across three races. His final race on record was in 2019, finishing 19th in an eight-round stint that season, after which he retired from active competition.
