Career

Norman started in motocross when he obtained an AMA at the age of twelve. When turning sixteen Norman's father invited Ryan for a three-day course at the Skip Barber Racing School. [1] Norman joined the Skip Barber Winter Series for the first two rounds of the championship. In November 2015, Norman finished seventh in his debut race, at Road Atlanta.

With driving coach Franklin Futrelle, Norman joined the SCCA Formula Enterprises class in 2015. In his debut season Norman won the second race at Sebring International Raceway in the U.S. Majors Tour Southeastern Conference. After winning more races at Road Atlanta and Virginia International Raceway, he secured a second place finish in the championship. [2] Comprent Motorsports driver Norman finished second at the prestigious June Sprints, behind multiple class champion Scott Rettich. [3] Norman again finished second to Rettich at the prestigious SCCA National Championship Runoffs at Daytona International Speedway. [4] At the end of the season, Norman made his debut in a Formula Atlantic Swift 016.a. racing in the Historic Sportscar Racing organisation. At Sebring, the racing driver won his class. [5]

For the 2016 season, Norman stepped up to the Atlantic Championship joining K-Hill Motorsports coached by former ChampCar driver Tõnis Kasemets. Norman won both the Pro Atlantic Championship and the SCCA National Runoffs.

Norman raced with the SVRA organisation at selected events. At Mid-Ohio Norman made his debut in a 2007 Dallara Indy Lights racing car winning the race. [6]

For 2017, Norman stepped up to the Indy Lights Championship driving for Andretti Autosport. After driving with the team in 2017, 2018 and 2019, with multiple race wins and podiums, Norman had his first IndyCar test with Andretti at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on June 25, 2019. [7]
