G.A.B.B. Racing Rentals

Mini Car but Large Value

Cameron M. · Thompson 12 Hour · August 2026

Had a blast driving David’s Mini in Champcar! We weren’t the fastest on track but the car was extremely reliable and easy to drive. David was very prepared, professional, and even when minor problems arose, his team was on top of it. This was my second time renting with him and I would highly recommend his team to anyone!

awesome experience from start to finish

The car was great and the people were even better!

Chase B. · Thompson 12 Hour · August 2026

These guys are very fun to race with. Communication is great and everyone is kind and respectful to each other. The renting process was also very professional and easy from beginning to end! The car is very well setup and has great driver info with the Gramin Catalyst. It is very fun to drive! I highly recommend racing with these guys!

Ryan S. · Thompson 7 Hour Bracket Enduro · September 2026

I've done both endurance races and sprint races with GABB Racing and it's really my go to for a good race experience. I actually first rented with him in 2022 after another Miata shop never had a car become available. It's been four years mixing sprint and enduros. The Mini is surprisingly capable in an endurance setting but when it rains it is usually the fastest or one of the fastest cars on track. It never gets old passing Vettes and BMWs around the outside of turns. Dave, the proprietor, is a real racing guy and that helps increase the fun factor. One race, our session got rained out so we sat in his trailer and watched F1 qualy with other racers. Also of benefit is his significant connections in the region. Be it within SCCA, with track officials, or other teams, he maintains good relationships with all and this leads to little perks like parking, or garage access, etc. He knows the cars inside and out from his years as a factory tech and I think he's been racing Minis for a decade or so, so he's probably run into every problem already. I've never had a problem finding an available car as he's got a fleet of Mini's. One race, we had 3 cars on track and it was managed well. It is actually more fun when we have more team cars as we cheer and push each other on. Dave is also a super fast driver so if you need an extra driver for a stint, he can improve your chances of a better result.

A blast in the "Mighty Mini"!

Brian H. · Thompson 12 Hour · August 2024

I have been racing with ChampCar for a handful of years now. I've been lucky enough to race for one team consistently, however our car was full by the time the Thompson 12 in 2024 came around and I went looking for a ride.

I had never rented from a "stranger" before and was hesitant. G.A.A.B Racing was recommended to me so I reached out. David was very easy to communicate with and I showed up on practice day to a beautifully prepared car that was ready to rock.

A small mishap from a co-driver during the Friday practice session left the car requiring minor repairs that were fixed within an hour and we were back out on track. Although, even a major mishap was no concern because they came to the track with an entire spare car!

Race day was an absolute blast. I got 2 full stints and we found ourselves battling for the lead a good part of the day.

The car was quick and from what I've seen it's only gotten faster and more refined over the last few years.

I 100% recommend David Dimer and G.A.A.B Racing, especially if you're looking to compete for F class podiums.
