Dev Gore (born 31 July 1997 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) is an American professional racing driver competing in international motorsport. [1]

Contents

Background

Gore started his racing career at the age of 18 years old. After an initial taste of karting in 2015, he entered the Florida Winter Tour and the Rotax Grand Nationals in the DD2 category. In 2016, he moved into US DD2 National and US Open DD2 and was crowned champion. [2] Gore raced for Team USA at the Rotax Grand Finals. [3]

He is a graduate of Bertil Roos Racing School. [4]

In 2021 he will compete in the DTM for the Rosberg team. He calls his car "Toothless" based on one of the two main characters from the film trilogy How to Train Your Dragon. [5]

Junior career

Gore was a participant in the MAXSpeed Driver Advancement Program in 2017 and made his debut in the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship, part of the Mazda Road to Indy development program. [6]

Gore finished the 2017 Cooper Tires USF2000 in 13th place in the overall standings, among a total of 36 drivers. He moved to the European racing scene in 2018, driving for Carlin in the second half of the Euroformula Open Championship. [7] He finished in the top ten in four of eight occasions. During the following winter, Gore raced in the Toyota Racing Series with Giles Motorsport, scoring a best finish of fourth at Hampton Downs and finishing 13th in the standings. [8] [9] [10] [11]

Sportscar career

In April 2019, it was announced that Gore would race with Strakka Racing in the Blancpain GT Endurance Cup. [12] He drove in the opening three races, which included a fifth place at Silverstone alongside Jack Hawksworth and Lewis Williamson. [13]

After a year out of racing, Gore entered the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters in 2021 when the series switched to a GT3 rule set, driving an Audi R8 LMS Evo for Team Rosberg. [14] Gore struggled throughout the year, scoring no points and qualifying no higher than 13th at Zolder. [15] Despite being the only main driver to go without points throughout the year, he remained with the team for the 2022 season. [16] [17] Though qualifying still remained a weakness, Gore's results improved as he benefited from a timely pit stop during the safety car to rise up to the front at Imola, before going on to finish second. [18] [19] He also scored fourth place in a chaotic race at the Hockenheimring, helping him to finish 17th in the standings. [20] [21]
