Flying Lizard Motorsport to take in IMSAs visit to Long Beach

Flying Lizard Motorsport to take in IMSAs visit to Long Beach


 Flying Lizard Motorsports will make its highly-anticipated return to the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship at the prestigious Grand Prix of Long Beach on Saturday, April 20th. Elias Sabo and Andy Lee will compete in the GTD class, piloting the No. 28 Aston Martin Vantage GT3 on the downtown street circuit.

A local to the Long Beach, California area, Sabo has long wanted to race in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship event in front of his home crowd. Sponsored by 5.11 Tactical, the No. 28 Aston Martin livery will be orange and black, sporting the same look the entry carries in the SRO Fanatec GT World Challenge America series. 

 

“I couldn’t be more excited to be driving in the Long Beach Grand Prix this year,” said Sabo, a resident of Newport Beach. “This race is at my home track. It’s so exciting to be able to compete in front of a number of my friends and family who will be in attendance. Andy and I had originally entered the race in 2020 but it was canceled due to Covid. Now four years later we get a chance to compete in a bucket list race for me.”



The one-off return to IMSA is a full-circle moment as Flying Lizard Motorsports celebrates its 20thanniversary.

A fist full of Aston Martin Vantage GT4s to do IMSA battle around the streets of St Petes

A fist full of Aston Martin Vantage GT4s to do IMSA battle around the streets of St Petes


The official entry list may say four, but we believe there to be more Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT4 powered crews entered into this weekend’s IndyCar support VP Racing Sportscar Challenge race from St Petersburg.

The three indicated full season entries all return albeit with one slight change aboard one of them whilst the Prosport Competition team field a guest entry for a certain reigning GT America GT4 Champion and another also chases seat time after a disappointing showing first time out this season in Michelin Pilot Challenge.

Ruckus Racing is back with Scott Blind again behind the wheel of his #45 car whilst Frank DePew should get to run in his first race of the year with his 2024 Rebel Rock Racing prepared Vantage GT4 Evo having suffered technical issues with the brand new car last time out at Daytona that prevented him from running in the opening two races at the Roar.

The #82 Van Der Steur Aston Martin is in attendance but rather than Brady Behrman behind the wheel, they will be debuting Michelin Pilot Challenge Porsche racer Jackson Lee for this event. We believe that this has been scheduled for some weeks now, but we haven’t seen any explanation as to why this is – other than perhaps, prior commitments on Behrman’s part?!

Last time out at Daytona, Archangel ran an AMR for Robbie McWilliams, but it appears that he will not be back at this street circuit round, but the team will be preparing a car for MPC full season entrant, Todd Coleman after he suffered something of a disaster at the season opener with technical issues and penalties as a result of exploits on track. This will be all about seat time and dialling himself back in before the next round of the MPC season from Sebring in a couple of weeks.

Finally, and for similar reasons for Coleman, we see that Jason Bell will be back in action at St Pete’s – not because he has suddenly enlisted upon the IMSA entry rather than for seat time at a circuit he loves (and usually wins at in a GT4) before he embarks upon a full GT3 season in GT America.

Two Free Practice sessions and Qualifying are scheduled for this Friday before running two forty-five-minute races on Saturday around the tight 1.8 mile circuit. That leaves little margin for error with the consequences that a street derived circuit can quickly bring to race cars!!

Astons triple podium in penultimate race in GT4 America season at IMS

Astons triple podium in penultimate race in GT4 America season at IMS

 


For us, lasts nights penultimate race within the GT4 America Series season was all about the two Heart of Racing Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT4 powered crews of Gray Newell/Roman De Angelis and Rianna O’Meara-Hunt/Hannah Grisham as both crews came home for a historic double around the iconic circuit of Indianapolis Motor Speedway.


Whilst the #24 Pro-Am entry of Gray (previously with Team Manager Ian James) and more of late with Roman De Angelis my not be unfamiliar with the podium process within the SRO Series, it was the fact that the investment made by the team into these two young ladies was finally permitted to pay itself off as the #26 crew maintained a class pole to flag win in class for the first time this season.


Blighted by unfamiliarity between themselves and the car at the beginning, the pace within the #26 car was always there or there abouts, but the crew found themselves continually affected by issues on track of others that would eventually hamper their runs.

Coming home nineth overall and first in Am, their success was rightly echoed by all within the team as a very special moment.


Their podium success was not the end of the AMR powered success in the race as the #8 Flying Lizard Vantage GT4 of Elias Sabo and Andy Lee also came home (albeit a controversial) fifth overall and third in Pro-Am to claim more silverware from their 2023 escapades.

With no Aston Martin crew in any championship contention this time around, that pressure was for others to bear with Sabo getting direct blame for a tap that saw one class championship spin out into retirement during the early stages of the race before Lee made another move that saw another car immediately retire in the closing laps of the race. So far, the provisional race results appear to be standing.


Elsewhere, it was another uncharacteristically quite race for the Chouest Povoledo Racing AMR of their namesakes, Ross and Aaron as the #50 car never found itself able to battle for contention during the hour-long race to eventually come home 21st overall and tenth in Pro-Am.

The third Flying Lizard entry of the #13 Todd Parriott/Tom Dyer car could look back onto race one with positivity having taken their P30/P12 starting position up to P12/P7 by the end whilst their #2 stablemates of Jason Bell/Michael Cooper will not after Bell suffered two bouts of contact within his stint to have ‘enough’ and retire the car before the break. That compounded a bad day for Bell after he didn’t quite do enough earlier in the day to secure another GT America GT4 crown.


The second and final race of the season will start at 10:35hrs local on Sunday.

Flying Lizards latest AMR GT4 liveries ahead of SRO America

Flying Lizards latest AMR GT4 liveries ahead of SRO America


In anticipation of the rapidly-approaching start of the 2023 SRO America race season, Flying Lizard Motorsports has revealed the liveries for the team’s three full-season Aston Martin Vantage GT4 entries. 


As previously announced, 2021 GT America Powered by AWS champion Jason Bell joins the team, racing the No. 2 Aston Martin Vantage GT4. Bell recently finished second in the 2022 championship and is ready to begin another quest for the title at his home race of St. Petersburg March 3-5. The livery for Bell’s No. 2 Aston Martin Vantage GT will sport a black base with the iconic Lizard head on the hood and sides of the car, with yellow and white slanted lines accenting the look. The car will be sponsored by Fidelis Capital, providers of a private banking experience from an advisor-owned wealth management firm, providing comprehensive financial advisory services.


Elias Sabo’s pair of Aston Martin Vantage GT4 cars will trade in the neutral-colored livery for a bold orange and black look, representing the colors of primary sponsor 5.11 Tactical. The American apparel brand has been a strong supporter of SRO America, Sabo, and more recently, the Flying Lizard team, who proudly wear the brand’s apparel at every race event. The orange and black car will have the Lizard logo on the hood, and again sport the American flag on the roof, also representing Elias Sabo and Andy Lee, the two Americans who will pilot the car throughout the 2023 race season.


Bell will start the 2023 GT America Powered by AWS March 3-5 on the downtown streets of St. Petersburg, Florida. The series will race in support of IndyCar’s Grand Prix of St. Petersburg and feature a pair of 40-minute, single-driver races. The GT America championship will continue to Sonoma Raceway at the end of the month, where the Pirelli GT4 America series will kick off it’s 2023 season. Both Bell and Sabo will compete separately in the GT America series, and Sabo will be joined by co-driver Andy Lee in GT4 America for the 60-minute pair of races.

Flying Lizards confirm a new three car AMR programme in SRO America Series for 2023

Flying Lizards confirm a new three car AMR programme in SRO America Series for 2023

 


After the unfortunate demise of the Bsport Racing team last week, this week’s early Aston Martin Racing related news from North America is so far only good as the Flying Lizard team confirm a new three car programme for 2023.

Having returned to the AMR marque with drivers Elias Sabo and Andy Lee who would compete in both the SRO GT America and GT4 America, the California based team has today confirmed that the above duo will return together for another opportunity next year as well as supporting a further AMR Vantage GT4 for 2022 GT America Vice-Champion and 2021 GT America Champion Jason Bell.


Whereas Sabo will run again within the single driver GT America Series (but not a full season apparently) and then alongside Lee within their Pro-Am classed GT4 America Series, Bell will again concentrate on just the GT America Series like he did at the tail end of this season having cited the pit stop punctuated GT4 series as too much of a distraction.

“We are really excited to have Jason Bell join us next year,” said Program Manager Darren Law. “He has always been a strong competitor and is always fighting for a win. Over the past several years he has raised his level on track with both lap times and his race craft and we look forward to working together with him in hopes of bringing him and Flying Lizard Motorsports a championship in the GT America class in 2023.”


“Elias and Andy had such a strong season last year,” said Law. “To come from where they did early in the season to a point of consistently being a front runner fighting for wins and with a shot at a championship just gives us more incentive for the upcoming season. They have both been working hard testing this winter, we are very comfortable with the Aston Martin platform, and we feel we are in a great position to go for a GT4 America Championship in 2023.”


Good news indeed!

Race podiums but no Class Championships this time around in GT4 America

Race podiums but no Class Championships this time around in GT4 America

 


As did the GT America Series before it, saw the GT4 America Series conclude its 2022 calendar at the weekend with the two final one-hour races being undertaken around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with the drivers titles still to be decided.

This time however, it was just the #8 Flying Lizards Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT4 entry of Elias Sabo and Andy Lee who stood any mathematical chance of snatching the Pro-Am Class title from the long-term season leading Nolasport and Premier Racing Porsches ahead.

Saturday’s opener was again an exciting but cold affair around the track which made for some difficult tyre warming ahead of the start where birthday boy Gray Newell had earlier claimed the Pro-Am Pole position just ahead of the #50 Chouest Povoledo AMR with the #8 car in fourth (in class).


Typically for the series, a few laps in and the first signs of trouble came as one BMW ended heavily into the tyre wall bringing out the Safety Car for the first time over the weekend but with actual barrier damage too – that made for lengthy repairs.

Losing nearly a quarter of the race distance to that incident, Chouest was soon battling side by side with Newell for position just as the pit lane opened a lap later with most of the Am driver Pro-Am entries electing to pit at the first opportunity.

Seemingly beating the #24 Heart of Racing AMR out of the pit lane, the #50 car of (then) Aaron Povoledo would get pinged for a pit lane speed violation at their stop and that would cast the red Aston back down to the rear of the pack as the #24 car of Ian James understeered wide, allowing the #8 car of Lee passed for position to take the lead of the class for the first time.


The Safety Car came out again with a quarter distance to go as another car became beached in the gravel, losing another five of those remaining minutes. Getting back to green worked for some as Lee capitalised on some pre-occupation by the then leaders to overtake all for the race lead but not for others as the #55 AP Aston Martin of Justin Piscitell dropped four places in that lap alone.

That allowed Lee to bring home their #8 car for their first win of the season and placed them exactly where they needed to be ahead of the championship deciding race on Sunday with the #24 Heart car claiming the final step of the Pro-Am podium.

Sundays finale would this time be started by the Pro drivers and there was all to race for, and the top three Pro-Am crews still had the chance to rob one another to the top.


Unfortunately for the #8 car, a near repeat of Sabo’s earlier GT America race one demise into turn one had Lee contact the championship leading Nolasport Porsche which in turn contacted the second placed Premier Racing Porsche which all in turn, knocked all three down to towards the rear of the pack.

That left both James and Povoledo to lead the Aston Martin Pro-Am charge, but James was also to be contacted by a recovering Mercedes AMG GT4 coming out of turn one to be spun around to face the oncoming field. The same was to befall Povoledo just a few laps later after apparent contact with the Dexter Toyota but at least for him, not too much time was lost as he hunted down the relief road from the grassy infield section of the circuit.

With another car stopped on track with steering damage, Race Control this time allowed the pitstop window to cycle through uninterrupted before calling upon the services of the Safety Car again with just fifteen minutes to go.


Losing time for damage repairs and a suspected puncture ultimately cost the #8 their final attempt at Championship glory before returning to the track laps down to the leaders, their 2022 season would unfortunately end with a much battle scared Aston Martin and a trip through the gravel in avoidance of a spinning Mustang but for the #50 car of Povoledo and Chouest – they would round off an already great weekend with a class win at the end of the final round of the GT4 America Series to go with their GT America Championship win earlier in the weekend.

The #47 Nolasport Porsche of Scott Noble and Jason Hart would also cement their Championship win in Pro-Am at the end as well.


Congratulations and thanks to all for another great season of GT4 racing.

Titles to be decided in both GT and GT4 America as the SRO finalises its accounts at Indianapolis Motor Speedway

Titles to be decided in both GT and GT4 America as the SRO finalises its accounts at Indianapolis Motor Speedway


 
With the IMSA side of the North American GT racing equation already having settled their 2022 racing accounts last weekend with a Championship win apiece for the Heart of Racing and Volt Racing teams in the Weathertech Sportscar Championship and Michelin Pilot Challenge Series respectively, this weekend see’s the SRO trilogy of series conclude at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway circuit in the north-east quarter of the USA.


That means that the GT World Challenge America, GT4 America and GT America Series all wrap up their season of racing with multiple Aston Martin Racing powered crews in contention within the two GT4 based/split series but this time with a much-reduced AMR presence than usual.

Starting with the GT World Challenge America Series, the #12 Ian Lacey prepared AMR Vantage GT3 of Drew Staveley and Frank Gannett have called it a day on their second season within the series with their Aston Martin are not running in the last event which joins together again with running of (this time) the penultimate round of the Intercontinental GT Challenge.


After a winter rebuild following an incident for Gannett at the tail end of last season, the challenges of 2023 have still been there for the Pro-Am line up and some consistent finishes will see them finish twelfth in the Championship.


Then we get to the GT America Series for Bronze rated drivers compete amongst a split grid of GT3 and GT4 race cars for the final time this season.

The #2 GMG Racing AMR Vantage GT4 of reigning champion Jason Bell arrives with a slender two-point lead after the previous round from Sebring two weeks ago but with another four drivers with a mathematical chance of winning by the end of Sunday.


Three recent podium finishes for Moisey Uretsky in his #55 API prepared Aston Martin brings him back into contention, just seventeen points behind Bell and with the #50 Chouest Povoledo Racing AMR of Ross Chouest just one point behind him as well.

Recent performances seem to suggest that second placed Adam Adelson (Porsche) and Uretsky (third) are the ‘men of the hour’ after two DNF’s for Bell before he recovered with a P2 finish in the second race at Sebring to recover the Championship lead with just fifty more points being available.


Whilst Gray Newell returns with his #25 Heart of Racing AMR after sitting out Sebring because of his accident at Road America but we will not be seeing the #15 Bsport Racing AMR of Bryan Putt nor the #888 Zelus Motorsport AMR of Sean Whalen race again this season.

Finally, we have a similar circumstance within the GT4 America Series but with a sole Aston Martin of Elias Sabo and Andy Lee chasing down a thirty-one points deficit to the leading Nolasport Porsche crew of Scott Noble and Jason Hart with their 8# Flying Lizard prepared car.


Joining them in another reduced AMR present grid will be the #24 Heart of Racing car of Gray and Ian James, the #50 car of Chouest and Aaron Povoledo and the #55 API car of Uretsky and Justin Piscitell.


Similarly to the GT America Series, we will again not see the #2 GMG car of Bell and Andrew Davis as they concentrate solely on their GT America title defence, nor the #15 Bsport car of Putt and Kenton Koch nor the #888 car of Whalen and Matt Guiver.

Two P2 finishes at Sebring improve the Flying Lizards AMR GT4 America chances at season finale

Two P2 finishes at Sebring improve the Flying Lizards AMR GT4 America chances at season finale

 


Another SRO series going down to the wire at Indianapolis in two weeks’ time will be the GT4 America Series after three podium finishes pushed another Aston Martin Racing powered team into the title fray.

Going into this penultimate round of the series at the Sebring International Raceway, had the #8 Flying Lizard AMR Vantage GT4 crew of Elias Sabo and Andy Lee as the highest placed AMR team in the Pro-Am class, battling to stay in contact with the more dominant #120 Porsche of Adam Adelson and Elliott Skeer with the #15 Bsport Racing AMR of Bryan Putt and Kenton Koch just behind in fifth overall.


News from the circuit was that the #2 GMG Racing AMR of Jason Bell and Andrew Davis would not be running in GT4 America as they would be concentrating on the defence of their GT America GT4 title. This news was on top of the known absences from both the Heart of Racing and Zelus Motorsport with their two Vantage GT4’s.

During Saturdays one hour opener, the #55 API prepared AMR of Moisey Uretsky and Justin Piscitell however had obviously failed to notice the ‘gameplan’ as they again dominated the race – the same as Uretsky had done during the opening GT America round to claim their first season P1 double with their partially rebuilt car.


Completing a good day for the Aston Martin family was the Pro-Am podium lockout as the #8 Flying Lizard car of Sabo and Lee finished second, the #50 Chouest Povoledo Racing car of Ross Chouest and Aaron Povoledo in third with the #15 Bsport Racing AMR in fourth to help reinforce their Championship credentials particularly after the earlier demise of the #120 Porsche with technical issues.

With two drivers came obviously two Qualifying sessions and Sundays finale would be the turn again of the Pro drivers to runs their races first with Lee pipping all to the post with a second row start in fourth overall, with Koch just another row behind in sixth. The Chouest Povoledo and API cars however, would not fare so well in race 2 with Piscitell and Povoledo never featuring beyond their starting positions of P9 and P10 respectively.




Race 2 would start five abreast down the start straight before the leaders funnelled out into a more coherent approach to the twisty section of the course whilst others behind came into contact. Fortunately staying green, the #15 had jumped the #8 car for position and would run out the course of their Pro’s race in that order to the end of their stint.

Pit stops over and Putt and Sabo continued the inter AMR battle that had been started for them earlier but neither had enough speed to trouble the #47 Nolasport Porsche ahead of them although both were importantly ahead of the #120 Premier Racing Porsche.


As the faster silver class cars ran their battles ahead, it was fairly stalemate within Pro-Am right until the final lap of the race when the #15 car of Putt evidently slowed and allowed Sabo to pass easily to steal away the #15 cars (up until then) rightful P2 in class position at the death. Only just managing the finishing line itself, the #15 car would drop down to fourth in class but massively for them, behind the #120 Porsche.

Without seeing these results confirmed by the series, it would appear that the #15 cars technical glitch at the races death may become costly enough to remove them from any further Pro-Am Class championship contention as the series reconvenes at Indianapolis for the final two races of the season in two weeks’ time.


For the #8 Flying Lizard car, their pair of P2 class finishes may well be enough to keep them into a three-way battle to the prize at IMS.

The Flying Lizard AMR team mark their return to GT4 America in the best way possible

The Flying Lizard AMR team mark their return to GT4 America in the best way possible


 Flying Lizard returned to the Pirelli GT4 America and GT America powered by AWS this weekend at Sonoma Raceway, starting the new season off with another podium finish at their home track. The Sonoma-based squad raced a pair of Aston Martin Vantage GT4 cars in the two series with team newcomers Elias Sabo and Andy Lee, competing in four races on Saturday and Sunday.

“It was a great start to the 2022 season,” said Program Manager Darren Law. “Competing in two race series simultaneously can be quite demanding, but both Elias and Andy were able to get a lot of track time in our new cars. We had a great start to the race weekend and couldn’t be happier to have a podium finish in our first race weekend at our home track of Sonoma. Although the second day of racing didn’t produce the results we wanted, both Elias and Andy showed a lot of speed and we saw the performance capability of the team and the car as well as the potential of what we can do. I am really looking forward to the rest of the season. “


Pirelli GT4 America

Elias Sabo took the green flag for race one in the No. 8 Aston Martin Vantage GT4 in 11th position, and before completing a full lap, the race immediately went yellow, temporarily pausing racing activities for an incident on track that dropped oil in the carousel. Sabo settled into 13th on the start, but gained back a spot, passing the No. 69 of Todd Coleman and taking 10th place before another incident brought out red flag. All running ceased while safety marshals cleaned up an incident on track, and after a substantial break, racing resumed. Sabo pitted in the mandatory window, allowing Andy Lee to get in the Aston Martin and take over for the remainder of the race. Once all pit stops cycled through, he found himself in fourth, but 0.6 seconds behind the No. 47 of Jason Hart. For the final 15 minutes of the race, the two raced nose to tail. Lee made the pass in the final lap, securing a third-place position for Flying Lizard Motorsports. The podium result gave the team ample momentum, excited to face day two of racing where the pair would start from sixth in the pro/am class.

The second day of racing failed to go as planned for the Flying Lizard duo. Though Lee started sixth in class and eighth overall, the packed field made it difficult to gain or maintain ground. He safely dropped to tenth on the start, knowing he could gain background throughout the race. A lengthy caution ate into the race clock, preventing further progression for Lee’s stint. Sabo took over from Lee during the mandatory stop and put on a great show battling for ninth position. Unfortunately, the battle led to final lap contact, resulting in a 14th place finish.


GT America powered by AWS

After qualifying in a mixture of wet and dry conditions, Elias Sabo set a fast lap to start GT America race one in 15th position in the GT4 class. He had a strong start, climbing up to ninth, chasing the No. 930 Audi R8 of Steve Dinan. A full course caution interrupted his climb, but after the field went back go green, he climbed one more spot, taking eight place in his first GT America race with Flying Lizard Motorsports.

Sabo and the Lizards had high hopes for GT America race two from their third place starting position. However, the front leaders held up the field on the start, resulting in a bit of mele in the opening laps. The scuffle dropped the No. 8 Aston Martin down the field, where the car was hit by a competitor as Elias tried to regain lost ground. The contact caused damage to the car, resulting in the Lizard entry retiring early.


The series will race next at Ozarks International Raceway May 20-22

Welcome back to the Flying Lizard Motorsport team in GT and GT4 America

Welcome back to the Flying Lizard Motorsport team in GT and GT4 America

 


Two years after Flying Lizard Motorsports swept the team and driver titles in GT4 America with a pair of Aston Martin Vantage GT4 race cars, the team will again race a pair of Aston Martins in SRO America. With the support of sponsor 5.11, manufacturer of purpose-built apparel, footwear, and gear, Elias Sabo and Andy Lee will team up to compete together in the GT4 America championship, and Sabo will run a separate GT4 entry in GT America. Elias Sabo and Andy Lee will team up to compete together in the GT4 America championship, and Sabo will run a separate GT4 entry in GT America.

“It’s great to welcome new racers to the Lizard family and to return back to again race with Aston Martin, a manufacturer we’ve had great success with,” said Program Manager Darren Law. “I have personally known Andy for a long time and recently met Elias, and I’m proud to welcome them to the team. They’re both proven racers and I’m looking forward to challenging for more championships this year in SRO America.”


The Lizards clinched the four 2020 team driver titles with 17 wins and 21 podiums between the 2020 GT4 America Sprint and GT4 America SprintX program with drivers Michael Dinan and Robby Foley. The remarkable success earned the team their seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth championship titles since the team’s professional racing inception in 2004.

"We are delighted to have Flying Lizard back with Aston Martin Racing,” said Huw Tasker, head of Customer Racing at Aston Martin. “We've enjoyed working with them in the past and we know what a great combination AMR and Flying Lizard can be following our super-successful partnership in 2020 that included a clean sweep of four SRO GT4 championships. The Vantage GT4's growth as a competitive proposition continues in the GT racing market around the world, and we expect Flying Lizard will fully contribute to that in 2022."

Andy Lee

The approaching season will be Elias Sabo’s first year racing the Aston Martin Vantage GT4 car. Sabo first joined what was then the Pirelli World Challenge in 2018, participating in six races in the SprintX GTS Pro/Am category, racing a McLaren 570S GT3. In 2020, he began a two-year stint racing Audi machinery, running an Audi R8 LMS GT4 in the GT4 America Pro/Am class and an Audi R8 LMS GT2 in GT America.

This season, he will contest the No. 8 Aston Martin Vantage GT4 alongside Andy Lee in GT4 America. Lee is also a familiar face in GT4 America, originally the Pirelli World Challenge SprintX series. He joined the series in 2018 as Sabo’s co-driver, creating a strong on-track pairing in a competitive series. The GT4 America series hosts a two-driver, one-car format, in a pair of 60-minute races each weekend. Sabo and Lee will compete together in the Pro/Am category, one of the series three classes.


Alias Sabo

Sabo will also run a separate No. 8 Aston Martin Vantage GT4 entry in GT America, a sprint series for bronze drivers, running a pair of 40-minute races per event weekend. The GT America series is comprised of three classes: SRO3 (GT3), GT2, and GT4. Sabo participated in the inaugural season in 2021, competing in both rounds at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the inaugural Nashville Music City Grand Prix. The team will compete in the full 2022 GT America schedule, with the exception of the season-opening race at the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg and the Nashville Grand Prix.
