Tom Podmore is a developing-level driver who raced in NASA's Spec Miata class, a single-driver spec series run within the broader NASA multiclass championship in the United States. He competed for two seasons, from 2020 to 2021, in a Mazda MX-5 Miata.[1]
Podmore made 8 starts across those two seasons and finished 131st in the final 2021 championship standings. He raced most often against competitive amateurs; John Allen and Kyle Webb were regular opponents, and Podmore typically finished behind both. He beat entry-level professional Camden Gruber twice and semi-professional Ryan Roberson once.[2]
The Spec Miata field at NASA includes competitive amateurs and experienced professionals sharing the same races. Podmore's record places him toward the bottom of that field, finishing behind his most frequent competitors and occasionally ahead of drivers with more substantial professional racing experience.
