Dominik Farnbacher is a Gold-graded professional racing driver who spent his career in multiclass endurance motorsport. He raced predominantly in the IMSA WeatherTech championship between 2014 and 2019, driving GT3 machinery for Scuderia Corsa in its GTD class across 14 starts. He also contested the World Endurance Championship for SRT Motorsports, the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, Super GT, and the FIA GT Championship, accumulating 31 starts over eleven seasons from 2004 to 2019.[1]
Farnbacher took a win in Super GT in 2008 and collected five podium finishes across his career, including results in WEC and the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie. His most sustained effort came in IMSA, where he completed a full programme with Scuderia Corsa; his final indexed season was 2013 in WEC, where he finished 21st in the championship standings across a single round.[2]

His record includes isolated results against drivers of considerably higher standing; he finished ahead of Kyle Larson and Alex Palou, both of whom would go on to elite careers in single-seater and open-wheel racing.
