🏳️ Zachary Bradford

Zachary Bradford is a semi-professional driver competing in International GT, a rating of 3,049 placing him among the competitive amateurs and entry-level paid drivers of motorsport. His debut season in 2026 has been dominated; across 12 rounds he scored 7 wins and 11 podiums, finishing second in the championship. His average finishing position of P1.7 reflects near-flawless consistency at the front of the field.[1]

The strength of Bradford's first season becomes clear in head-to-head competition. He finished ahead of Kurt Kropp in 11 of 12 shared races, and outpaced Joseph Rizzo on nine occasions from ten meetings. He has also recorded wins over established professionals: Spencer Pumpelly, an FIA Silver graded driver and one-time champion rated 4,302; John Tecce, an FIA Bronze professional; and Chris Hall, another Bronze graded driver. These victories against drivers substantially more experienced and highly rated suggest Bradford has performed considerably above what his rating alone would predict, at least in this specific field and moment.

However, the competitive context matters. Coleman Hall, a driver rated 2,777, finished ahead of Bradford three times in four races; this is Bradford's only significant losing record among frequent rivals. The concentration of his rivals in the semi-professional and club ratings, combined with just one season of data, means his standing remains to be confirmed. His 2026 season has been a strong debut, but the rating reflects what the field as a whole has suggested so far rather than a ceiling on his ability.
