🇺🇸 Phil Giebler

Phil Giebler holds a Racer Rating of 5,081, placing him in the established professional band; this is the level of a full-time competitor at the top level or a factory sportscar driver, capable of winning in the strongest fields. His FIA categorisation as Silver denotes a professional-level driver in sportscar and endurance racing, typically early in a career at that tier. Giebler's record on track spans five starts across two series between 2007 and 2010, yielding no wins and no podiums. He finished on average in P17.8 across all classified races.[1]

Giebler's most competitive outings came against drivers at his own level or above. He scored isolated results against established professionals; he finished ahead of Roberto Moreno and Dan Wheldon once each, both drivers rated considerably higher at the elite professional level, and he beat John Andretti, a professional-ranked competitor. Against his most frequent rivals, he compiled a mixed record; he outfinished Danilo Dirani, an FIA Silver-graded driver, once in three shared races but fell behind him twice. He did not finish ahead of Ron White, Gary Carlton, or Jeremy Iglesias across their three encounters each.

Giebler's documented racing career proved brief. He competed primarily in SKUSA SuperNationals, starting four times without reaching the podium, and made a single IndyCar start in 2007. His most recent entry came at the 2010 SuperNationals. News reports from 2012 and 2013 indicate he moved into team ownership and driver development, mentoring the next generation of competitors. He is now retired from active racing.
