🏳️ Yiannis Tsiounis

Yiannis Tsiounis is a club-level racing driver with a Racer Rating of 1,556, placing him in the competitive amateur band. This rating describes a driver who races regularly in club and regional competitions and competes consistently against other amateurs, though typically without the sustained pace or consistency of professional ranks.[1]

Tsiounis raced across two distinct American series between 2012 and 2022, totalling 15 starts. His primary activity came in NASA from 2012 to 2015, where he scored 2 wins and 5 podiums from 8 starts, establishing himself as a front-runner in that field. A decade-long gap followed before his return to competition in 2022, when he contested 4 SCCA Majors events without reaching the podium, then finished 1 win and 2 podiums from 3 SCCA Regionals starts. His average finishing position across all races was eighth. Among his regular rivals, Tsiounis typically prevailed against similarly-rated drivers such as Matthew Sisson and Connor Thomas, going 4–1 and 4–1 respectively in their head-to-head records. He also recorded victories against several stronger drivers including the established professional Sam Paley and IMSA LMP3 champion Gar Robinson, though these came as isolated results rather than patterns of sustained competitiveness at that level.

Tsiounis has since retired from racing. His career represents a typical amateur programme centred on regional and club competition, with occasional outings against mid-level professionals that produced promising results but did not sustain a progression into full-time racing.
