Valentino Garbarino is an active amateur-level driver competing primarily in the Lucas Oil Formula Car Race Series, where he has recorded his strongest results to date. Across 19 starts spanning 2021 to 2025, he has won twice and finished on the podium 11 times, with an average finishing position of fifth. His Racer Rating of 2,686 places him in the club racing tier, well below the professional and semi-professional fields that sit above 4,000.[1]
Garbarino's competitive record shows mixed results against his most frequent rivals. He holds a decisive advantage over Danny O'Gara, finishing ahead in 10 of 15 races, and maintains roughly even records against Bex Cranston and Christopher Wakefield. However, he has consistently finished behind Cam Becker, a one-time champion rated considerably higher, in 10 of their 15 shared races. Against Amilio DiLauro, another stronger driver, Garbarino holds a 5-1 advantage in six meetings. He has also beaten several notably stronger drivers in single instances, including former champions Daniel Quimby and Nicolas Stati, as well as Jackson Wolny twice, though these remain isolated results rather than sustained patterns of outperformance.
His career has been heavily concentrated in the Lucas Oil Formula Car series in 2025, which accounts for 16 of his 19 starts and all of his wins and the vast majority of his podiums. Earlier appearances in the SKUSA SuperNationals in 2021 and 2022 produced no podium finishes across three starts, suggesting that series represents a step up in competition he has not yet regularly competed in.
