Carbir Race Cars is an American race car constructor.
Carbir Race Cars was founded in 1995. The first car to be designed and produced was the Carbir CS2. The Carbir CS2 went on to dominate the American Cities Racing League and the SCCA Sports 2000 class. In 1998 the first Carbir was entered in the SCCA National Championship Runoffs. John Fergus, II finished second in the S2000 class behind David Downey in a Lola T89/90. Fergus, II would win the Runoffs in the S2000 class in 1999, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2007, 2008 and 2011.
While designing the CS2 the Carbir crew also designed the Carbir DS3 U.S. F2000 National Championship car. The Carbir DS3 was based on the Piper F2000, Brian Utt bought the designs and built his own F2000. The car made its debut in 1999 with factory driver Jeff Glenn and Galen Puccini. During their debut race at Phoenix International Raceway Jeff Glenn was the best finisher out of the two, finishing thirteenth. When Andy Lally joined the team results drastically improved. Coming from a tenth place the American driver won the race. More podium finishes came at Mid-Ohio, Pikes Peak and Sebring. Lally finished eleventh in the standings. Lally returned in USF2000 for the 2000 season alongside Michael Curtiss. After a disappointing opening round in which Lally finished ninth and Curtiss finished twentieth the team pulled out of the championship. Privateers continued to run Carbir chassis in the championship. Rookie Tom Dyer scored a fifth-place finish overall while running in the American Continental Championship class for older cars.Scott Rubenzer scored the best result for a Carbir chassis in 2001. At Homestead-Miami Speedway the driver finished sixteenth.
