🏳️ Maximilian Kimlin

Maximilian Kimlin competed in American Endurance Racing across the 2015 and 2016 seasons, accumulating twelve starts without a win but with four podium finishes. His Racer Rating of 1,032 places him in the club racing category, the entry level of drivers with a real competition licence but racing primarily among peers of similar standing rather than among full professionals. His average finishing position of fourth across classified races indicates he finished respectably within his fields, though a consistent losing record against most regular rivals reveals the narrow margins at this level. He was most competitive against Dave Flogaus, splitting their head-to-head record three wins to four losses in seven races; against nearly every other frequent opponent he finished behind them more often than ahead.[1]

Kimlin's record against stronger drivers shows isolated moments of competitiveness. He finished ahead of Kyle Tilley, an FIA Silver graded driver and established professional, twice across eight races, and once beat Sandro Espinosa, a multi-time NASA Spec E30 champion, though these were single-race results rather than patterns. His final season in 2016 saw him finish 46th in the points with one podium from four rounds before he retired from racing.
