🏳️ Zach Tippet

Zach Tippet recorded a single race in 2008 at the SKUSA SuperNationals. His Racer Rating of 2,027 places him in the competitive amateur band; this describes a driver at the front of club racing with a real competition licence and meaningful results, typically self-funded and racing against professionals rather than with them. Tippet finished sixteenth in his sole classified start.[1]

The competitive context of Tippet's single entry is difficult to assess from one race at a high-profile national event. He finished ahead of several drivers with considerably stronger records; among them Trent Hindman, who would later establish himself as a Gold-graded professional and win the 2019 IMSA WeatherTech GTD championship and the 2022 IMSA Pilot Challenge GS championship. However, a single result against stronger drivers in one race does not establish a pattern. Tippet's career on record extends no further than that 2008 entry, and he is now retired from racing.
