Tim Horbal was a competitive amateur driver whose recorded career spanned two seasons in American Endurance Racing from 2015 to 2016. He made three starts across that period, finishing on the podium twice but never securing a win; his average finishing position among classified results was 4.3. His highest-profile result came against Sandro Espinosa, a three-time NASA Spec E30 champion, whom Horbal beat once. He also finished ahead of FIA Bronze graded professionals Michael Kanisczak and Mark Issa on individual occasions, and beat FIA Silver graded endurance driver Andrew Wikstrom twice across his limited race outings.[1]
Horbal's rating of 1,033 places him in the developing amateur band; at this level, drivers typically contest club and regional racing with inconsistent results against modest fields. The strength of his podium finishes relative to the scale of his career, only three races, suggests competitive moments against established drivers, but the brevity of his record and lack of sustained activity prevent any conclusion about his standing among full-time amateurs. He last raced in 2016 and is now retired from the sport.
