Tim Barber is a retired American racing driver who competed as a professional-level amateur in sportscar racing, rated 3,503 on the Elo scale. He held FIA Silver grading, a professional classification within endurance and GT competition that typically denotes a young or early-career driver racing at professional standard. His racing career spanned from 2016 to 2024 but comprised only seven starts across two series, making him a sporadic competitor rather than a regular circuit racer.[1]

Barber's primary activity was six starts in the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup in 2016, driving for WindingRoadRacing.com. He scored two podiums and finished tenth in the championship that season. His field included a mix of amateur and professional drivers; he consistently beat Ashton Harrison, a Silver-graded peer, and occasionally finished ahead of stronger competitors including Robby Foley, an FIA Gold-rated former champion, and Nikko Reger, another Silver-graded former champion, though he was outpaced by both over their head-to-head records. He struggled against Bronze-graded amateurs Zachry Lee and John Dean, losing both matchups decisively. After an eight-year gap, Barber returned to racing in 2024 with a single start in Trans-Am TA2, earning pole position at Thunderhill and competing at Spring Mountain but posting no podiums in that appearance.[2]
