🇺🇸 Vincent Barletta

Vincent Barletta is a semi-professional sportscar driver with a Racer Rating of 3,588, placing him among competitive amateur and early-career professionals in endurance racing. The FIA Bronze categorisation confirms his status as an amateur within the context of GT and sportscar competition, where he races alongside full professionals and more experienced drivers. Across eight seasons from 2019 to 2026, he has accumulated 83 starts primarily in IMSA's domestic sportscar series, with 3 wins and 8 podiums to his name and an average finishing position of P10.1.[1]

Barletta has spent nearly his entire career with Turner Motorsport, which has provided 79 of his 83 starts. His primary platform has been the IMSA Pilot Challenge, where he scored all three of his wins across 56 starts from 2019 to 2026. He has also competed in the IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge since 2023, where he has claimed 2 podiums from 27 starts without a win. His most frequent rivals across these series have been drivers of similar calibre; against Gregory Liefooghe and Robin Liddell, both rated as professional-level Silver competitors, Barletta holds losing head-to-head records of 24-31 and 21-27 respectively. He has finished consistently behind Ted Giovanis (11 times ahead, 36 times behind), suggesting a clear difference in pace. Conversely, he has beaten Hugh Plumb, a 1-time champion Bronze driver, in 33 of 47 shared races, establishing Plumb as one of the few rivals in his regular field against whom he maintains a winning record.

On rare occasions Barletta has finished ahead of much stronger drivers visiting the series; he has beaten Nolan Siegel, a Gold-rated professional, four times, and has single results against elite professionals including Chase Briscoe and Austin Cindric. These remain isolated instances rather than a pattern, though his 2026 campaign has shown continued activity in the VP Racing series with a podium at Laguna Seca in May.
