🏳️ David Ybarra

David Ybarra is a competitive amateur racer whose record places him in club and regional racing, the entry end of serious competition where quick, often self-funded drivers compete against professionals rather than with them. His Racer Rating of 2,607 reflects limited racing across three seasons. In 2026, he showed sharp form in SCCA Majors, winning three of four starts and finishing on the podium in all four races; his average finish of fifth across his entire record suggests he is typically near the front of his fields when racing.[1]

Ybarra has contested SKUSA SuperNationals three times across 2024 and 2025 without a podium, indicating those national events sit above his typical level. His competitive record against regular rivals is mixed. He holds a clear edge over Robert Gross and David Adorno, finishing ahead of both drivers in the majority of their shared races, and has beaten several drivers rated above him, most notably Edward Kennedy three times across three shared starts and Ethan Tovo twice. Against stronger rivals such as Luca Popescu and Travis Pettit, the record runs the other way; he has not finished ahead of Popescu in three meetings and trails Pettit two races to one. His best wins come at club and regional level where the field composition appears more in his favour, and his results suggest he is at the peak of club racing rather than consistently competitive among professionals.
