🇬🇧 Gabriel Stilp

Gabriel Stilp is a semi-professional driver whose rating of 3,406 places him at the competitive amateur level; drivers at this standing are typically self-funded racers who compete regularly against professionals and win in favourable circumstances, but do not consistently beat them across mixed fields. Stilp raced single-seaters in 2023, competing in British F4 and Spanish F4 across 31 starts with one win and three podiums to his name. His sole victory came in the significantly stronger British F4 field, where he spent the majority of his racing career with Hitech Pulse-Eight. Across the season his average finishing position stood at P11.3.[1]

In British F4, where the competitive density was highest, Stilp encountered a formidable grid of drivers well above his own calibre. He finished behind multiple established professionals in head-to-head competition, including champions Deagen Fairclough and Louis Sharp; against Fairclough across 28 shared races, Stilp finished ahead only 8 times against 20 behind, and against Sharp the record was 7 ahead and 21 behind. His results against the very strongest drivers he faced were sparse; he beaten former two-time champion Freddie Slater twice and one-time champion Théophile Naël once, though these were isolated instances rather than patterns. He was notably more competitive against drivers at or below his own level, such as Kai Daryanani, whom he outfinished 15 times across 28 races. His brief Spanish F4 outing yielded no points across three starts and ended his active racing record.
