Will Wachs holds a Racer Rating of 2,204, placing him in the competitive amateur band; this represents a driver capable of competitive club-level racing but not yet consistent enough to challenge professionals. His FIA Bronze categorisation confirms his status as an amateur in endurance racing, typical of gentleman drivers running alongside established professionals.[1]
Wachs competed in the IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge across two seasons from 2023 to 2024, accumulating 16 starts without recording a win or podium finish. His average finishing position of P12.7 reflects a field spread across the full grid. Throughout his tenure, he raced regularly against a constellation of professional and semi-professional drivers; notably, he finished ahead of Patrick Wilmot, a Silver-graded driver rated 3,923, on five occasions across 16 shared races, though he trailed Wilmot far more often. Against fellow Bronze drivers, his record was mixed but generally subordinate; he finished behind Angus Rogers in 15 of 16 encounters and behind Sean Quinlan in 10 of 11. He also recorded isolated results against stronger drivers, beating both Michael Cooper and Luca Mars, a two-time champion rated 4,537, once each. These high-water marks underscore the variability typical of amateur fields rather than consistent competitive strength.[2]
Wachs raced primarily for BGB Motorsports, which produced two race wins across its roster despite the modest calibre of most of its drivers. His career has concluded after two seasons without advancement to higher categories or a sustained competitive record, leaving him classified as a retired amateur competitor.
