🇺🇸 Michael Marsal

Michael Marsal is a professional endurance and club racing driver, FIA Silver graded, who raced across six seasons from 2009 to 2016. He competed primarily in national multiclass championships in GT3 and prototype machinery, most notably for Turner Motorsport in IMSA WeatherTech from 2014 to 2016, where he drove a GTD-class GT3 car in shared-driver endurance races.[1]

Marsal's strongest results came in club racing, where he won five races and took eight additional podiums across thirteen PCA Club Racing starts between 2009 and 2011 in Porsche machinery. His move to national-level professional series proved more challenging; he recorded a single podium across twenty starts in IMSA WeatherTech with Turner Motorsport, and his one World Endurance Championship entry in 2013 in the LMP2 prototype class left him twentieth in the final standings. His professional endurance record was competed against established drivers including Ben Keating, a multiple-series champion, where he typically finished behind him, and Spencer Pumpelly, another FIA Silver driver, against whom he was closely matched.[2]

Marsal finished ahead of drivers of considerably greater standing on occasion; he beat Kyle Larson, a two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and elite-level professional, once, and shared a result with Mike Conway, a world champion in WEC's premier classes and established professional. These were isolated instances within a career spent mid-field in professional multiclass grids.
