Career
Hart made his racing debut in 2006 at the 25 Hours of Thunderhill for PDQ Motorsports, winning the race in the E2 class.[1] After acting primarily as a driver coach for the next three years, Hart joined RSR Motorsports in 2011 to race in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge for the next two seasons.[2][3] During 2012, Hart also made his debut in the Rolex Sports Car Series for Horton Autosport in the GT class at Lime Rock Park in the team's Porsche 911 GT3 Cup.[4]
The following year, Hart joined fellow Porsche customer team Park Place Motorsports to compete in select rounds of the Rolex Sports Car Series,[5] before returning to the team in 2014 to race in the 24 Hours of Daytona in the GTD class of the newly-renamed United SportsCar Championship.[6] Hart then primarily returned to his duties as a driver coach for 2015, but made a one-off return to racing at that year's Lone Star Le Mans for Audi-fielding Flying Lizard Motorsports in GTD.[7]
After not racing in 2016, Hart joined Porsche-fielding Nolasport to compete in select rounds of the SprintX GT Championship Series the following year, finishing runner-up in GTS Am with two class wins to his name.[8] Part-time campaigns in the SprintX GT Championship Series and the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge in GT4 machinery then ensued the following year, in which he primarily raced with Classic BMW,[9] taking a best result of fourth in the latter at Daytona.[10] At the end of 2018, Hart won the 24 Hours of COTA with the same team in the GT4 class.[11]
Returning to Nolasport for 2019, Hart raced with Matt Travis in the SprintX series of GT4 America in Pro-Am.[12] In his first year in the series, Hart began with five wins in a row,[13][14] before taking further wins at Portland and Road America en route to runner-up honors in Pro-Am.[15] Staying with the team for the 2020 season,[16] Hart won both races at Circuit of the Americas,[17] race three at VIR and race one at Sonoma, as well as taking three podiums to end the year runner-up in Pro-Am.[18] Continuing for a third consecutive campaign in 2021,[19] Hart started the season with five wins in a row, four of them being overall,[20] before ending the year with four consecutive class wins as he clinched his first Pro-Am title.[21] Towards the end of the year, Hart also raced with the same team at the 24 Hours of Sebring, winning it in the GT4 class alongside Zac Anderson, Alex Mayer, Scott Noble and Travis.[22]

The following year, Hart remained with Nolasport for a dual campaign in GT4 America, with Noble, and the GS class of the Michelin Pilot Challenge, with Travis.[23][24] Between the two campaigns, Hart found more success in the former, scoring two class wins and four more podiums en route to his second consecutive Pro-Am title.[25][26] During 2022, Hart also made his 24 Hours of Le Mans debut for JMW Motorsport in LMGTE Am, sharing a Ferrari 488 GTE Evo with Mark Kvamme and Renger van der Zande.[27] In 2023, Hart reunited with Matt Travis for another season of GT4 America,[28] scoring an overall win at Sonoma and a class one at Sebring,[29] as he clinched his third Pro-Am title by one point after taking six other podiums.[30] In parallel, Hart also raced in Porsche Carrera Cup North America for MDK Motorsports,[31] finishing fifth in the overall standings with a win at Watkins Glen.[32] During 2023, Hart also raced at the 24 Hours of Daytona in GTD Pro for the same team, as a last-minute substitute for an injured Kevin Magnussen.[33]
Continuing with Porsche machinery for 2024, Hart joined Herberth Motorsport to race in the 24H Series alongside Ralf Bohn and Scott Noble in GT3 Am.[34] In his first full season in the series, Hart won the 24 Hours of Barcelona overall, as well as the 12 Hours of Mugello and the 24 Hours of Portimão in class,[35][36] en route to the GT3 Am title.[37] During 2024, Hart also made his European Le Mans Series debut, racing in the final two rounds for JMW Motorsport in the LMGT3 class alongside Noble and Ben Tuck.[38] Hart then joined TR3 Racing to race in the following year's Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America season,[39] winning race two at Road America and both races at Misano to secure the Pro-Am title on countback.[40][41] In parallel, Hart also raced full-time in the European Le Mans Series for JMW Motorsport alongside Noble and Gianmaria Bruni,[42] as well as making a one-off appearance in the IMSA SportsCar Championship for Ferrari-linked Triarsi Competizione in GTD.[43]
In 2026, Hart joined Mercedes-linked Winward Racing and GetSpeed Team Noble Racing to race in the GTD Pro class of the IMSA SportsCar Championship and the Bronze Cup of the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup, respectively.[44][45] The season began with a landmark third-place finish at the 24 Hours of Daytona, as both GTD Pro teams containing bronze-rated drivers—75 Express and Winward—made the podium.[46]
