Phil Giebler Racing was established in 2010 to bring higher, more professional standards to karting and develop young and emerging talent into tomorrow's IndyCar, NASCAR and Formula 1 drivers. Founder Phil Giebler has an outstanding list of achievements in international competition and it began with karting, auto racing's primary launching pad worldwide.
