Tom Bell is a club-level driver who raced in BMW CCA Club Racing, a national multiclass championship run in the United States. He competed in the JP and JS classes, which both run BMWs, across five seasons from 2005 to 2009.[1]
Bell started his indexed racing career in 2005 and accumulated 10 starts over five seasons, taking one win and five podium finishes. His best result came in 2009, when he won a round; that same season he finished 15th in the championship standings. His racing was concentrated in the lower reaches of the grid; he typically finished behind Brett Strom, an entry-level professional who was a regular opponent, and ran closely with Victor Mirzayan, a fellow club-level driver.[2]
Bell occasionally beat stronger competitors such as Tony Colicchio, a competitive amateur with racing across multiple series, and Kirk Lachman, another club-level driver. His record shows a driver competing among amateurs and semi-professionals in a shared-class endurance grid, posting results in line with that level.
