Roy Block is a semi-professional driver competing in American multiclass endurance racing, primarily in the IMSA Pilot Challenge between 2016 and 2023. He races lightly modified production sports cars and touring cars for KMW Motorsports with TMR Engineering, with whom he has completed 49 of his 75 starts. Block finished fifth in the 2023 Pilot Challenge standings after scoring three wins and three podiums across ten rounds.[1]
Over eight seasons, Block took nine wins and sixteen podiums across 75 starts in two series. His primary competition has been in the IMSA Pilot Challenge, where he accumulated seventy-four starts from 2016 onwards, steadily building results against a field mixing amateurs with graded professionals. He contested one international endurance race in the 24H Series in 2017, driving a GT4 car in the SP3-GT4 class. The consistency of his Pilot Challenge record, including multiple wins in each of three seasons from 2021 onward, placed him among the series' regulars rather than a one-off entrant.[2]
Block races closely with established professionals in his field. Stephen Simpson, a Silver-graded driver with fifty IMSA WeatherTech and sixty-one Pilot Challenge starts, has been a regular opponent with whom Block split results evenly. Michael Johnson, a Silver-graded semi-professional with comparable Pilot Challenge experience, has been matched with Block on multiple occasions. Block has finished ahead of Kenton Koch, a Gold-graded established professional and multiple champion across GT4 America, IMSA Prototype Challenge and GT World Challenge, once across their meetings in the Pilot Challenge.
