🇬🇧 Patrick Kibble

Patrick Kibble competed in the British GT Championship across two seasons from 2019 to 2020, accumulating 10 starts for TF Sport. He finished on the podium in six of those races and secured two wins, achieving an average finishing position of third. His Racer Rating of 2,804 places him among competitive amateurs; he raced at a semi-professional level in GT and endurance racing, holding FIA Silver grading, which denotes a professional-level driver typically early in their career or development. His record showed him capable of beating established professionals on occasion; he finished ahead of drivers with ratings in the 4,400s and 4,700s in isolated races, and he outpaced Ben Tuck, an FIA Silver driver, twice across their shared races.[1]

Kibble's head-to-head record against his most frequent rivals was mixed. He finished ahead of James Kell and Sam Smelt more often than not, winning those records 6-2 and 6-2 respectively. Against stronger drivers, however, the pattern reversed. Against Jamie Caroline, the 2020 British GT Championship GT4 champion and a driver more than 1,300 rating points his senior, Kibble finished behind in five of their eight shared races. He similarly trailed Patrik Matthiesen and Matt Cowley, the latter a future British GT champion, more often than he led them. Against Jordan Collard, an FIA Silver driver at a comparable level, the record split evenly at 4-4.

Kibble retired from racing after 2020. His career occurred during a period when the British GT grid welcomed varied competitive levels; he competed alongside former Formula 1 drivers and emerging talents within a field that provided genuine professional racing for drivers at his stage. His two wins and podium consistency over his two seasons represented solid performances within that environment, though his rating reflects that he did not establish a pattern of beating the grid's strongest drivers.
