🏳️ Tommy Ballester

Tommy Ballester is in his first season of racing on record, competing in International GT in 2025. He has made four starts in the series and finished every race he entered, posting four podium finishes with an average finishing position of second place. His performances have consistently placed him ahead of more experienced drivers in the field, including Cliff Cayer, a competitor with a substantially higher Racer Rating of 2,237, whom he has beaten three times in their four meetings. He has also defeated Mark Sandridge twice in four shared races and swept all four encounters against Thad Berger.[1]

Against his primary rival G Michael Merritt, however, Ballester has struggled, finishing behind him in all four races they have contested. Ballester's rating of 1,822 reflects his status as a novice in an amateur-heavy grid composed largely of ungraded drivers and gentleman racers, where his early record of consistent podium finishes and victories over more established competitors represents a meaningful starting point. His performance to date suggests promise within the International GT field, though the short sample size means these results carry the usual caveats of early-season form.
