GMG Takes Victory and Four Podiums in Salt Lake City

Date	August 18, 2016

With four cars running in five different categories, Global Motorsports Group (GMG) and their full roster of drivers and crew took full advantage of the most recent rounds of the Pirelli World Challenge with a victory and four podiums at the renowned Utah Motorsport Campus. With podiums in the upstart SprintX category as well as GTA, the highlight of the weekend once again went to Alec Udell in one of two GT Cup category entries, who managed to close the weekend with yet another victory and a strengthened lead in the championship. Despite the variety of machines on hand, the weekend was additionally highlighted by a remarkably smooth weekend with zero mechanical difficulties and every lap of competition completed.

“What an incredible weekend for our whole team,” stated team owner and driver James Sofronas. “Four podiums in three different categories is a huge testament to the quality and depth of our team, and it really showed this weekend. We seemed to always have a car on the track, but the entire weekend went smooth, and we have the trophies show for it. Alex Welch re-joined us this weekend and did a remarkable job pushing with the young guys in GT Cup. It’s a really talented group of young guys in similarly matched cars, and Alex did his best to keep with them all weekend and not put a foot wrong, he should be proud of how close he was to a podium. Brent Holden and I had a great time in our Porsche 911 GT3 R, it was my first time running SprintX and I really enjoyed the format, and coming back with a trophy is always a nice way to way to look back on the weekend. Brent was also very impressive driving the car during the GTA sprint races, and it showed with yet another podium! Kevin Westcott was with us for the Pirelli GT3 Cup Trophy USA, and for his first experience at a track like this one he did remarkably well. Of course Alec Udell was the star of the weekend. He was the fastest all weekend, and proved on Saturday that even with adversity he has the calm and patience of a champion, which of course really showed on Sunday with a remarkable drive. There’s still three races to go and anything can happen, but it was a big weekend for his championship hopes. We’re proud of the effort and look forward to Sonoma.”

Headlining the effort once again was Alec Udell in the No. 17 Euroworld Motorsports / Panther Pipeline / Amsource Capital Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. Coming in to the weekend with a narrow lead in the series’ GT-Cup standings, the 20-year old knew that beyond the normal emphasis on wins, a “zero-mistakes” run would be critical to ensure maximum points heading in to the final races of the year. As the fastest car throughout practice, the No. 17 would be well poised thanks to a stellar pole position lap on the morning of Saturday’s Race One.

Taking the green flag, the battle between championship-rival Sloan Urry was immediately evident, with the two battling hard through the opening laps; Urry managing to sneak ahead of Udell on the race start. Knowing championship points were critical, Alec would stalk the leader throughout the first half of the race, at one point taking the lead before Urry would grab it back. With the duo past halfway and guaranteed finishing points, the stakes would raise as they embarked in to the remaining minutes of the race. Unfortunately, as Alec continued to stalk Urry within inches of his bumper, the hot and thin desert air would cause Udell’s engine temperatures to rise, forcing him to exercise patience for the remaining laps. Knowing he’d set the fastest lap and was in position to start on pole for Sunday’s Race Two, Alec would resign himself to second-place in the race in an effort to ensure he didn’t risk losing valuable points to a damaged engine.

For Sunday’s Race Two, the Clemson University Engineering Student’s patience on Saturday would pay immediate dividends. Starting from pole, a surprise hard charge from local challenger McKay Snow would create an unexpected extra challenge to both Udell and Urry, with the trio engaged in a fantastic nose-to-tail battle throughout much of the first half of the race. Having learned from Saturday’s events, Udell demonstrated experience beyond his years during the opening half of the race, showing the best pace of the three but maintaining a healthy gap to the leader in order to ensure clean airflow in to his car as a precaution to keep engine temperatures low. As the race came in to the second half, Udell would mount his charge, putting pressure on Snow until the opportunity would come through the famous “Attitude” corners where Alec would make a fantastic exit to take the lead. With Urry following suit, the trio would get three-wide at one point, with Udell holding the lead and never looking back. Adding insult to injury for Sloan Urry, a rare mechanical failure would hit with just minutes remaining, sending him down to fifth and putting a major dent in to his championship hopes.

Serving as his 10th victory of the year, Alec will head in to the final two weekends with a strong championship lead, but not an insurmountable one.

“This was an excellent weekend for us, I’m incredibly thankful,” stated Udell. “Saturday was a perfect example of teamwork, where we all collectively had to look at the big picture and decide to back off, but it put us in a great position for Sunday. Obviously the win on Sunday was amazing, and put us in a great championship spot. You hate to see your competitors have misfortune like that, but we’ll go in to Sonoma and Monterey in a very advantageous position, and that’s critical for us. Huge thanks to James, Neville, and everyone at this team for all of the great preparation and help, we’re looking forward to Sonoma!”

Running in both the SprintX and GTA categories, the No. 14 Mobil 1 / The Thermal Club / Spyder Porsche 911 GT3 R of Brent Holden and James Sofronas endured more run-time than any other car in the team’s lineup, performing without fault and finishing every lap.

Opening the weekend in the series’ SprintX category, Brent Holden and James Sofronas would team up for the first multi-driver race of the weekend. Qualifying third overall, Holden would take on starting duties, maintaining a solid pace before turning the car over to teammate James Sofronas. With Sofronas trading his president duties for a return behind the wheel, James would pull some of the quickest laps in the category, eventually finishing third by time the 60-minute race came to a close, taking his first Sprint X podium of the 2016 season, and the third for Holden in succession.

For SprintX Race Two, which would close out the weekend, series rules would require the drivers to reverse roles, with Sofronas taking on opening duties for the first half of the race before handing the car over to Holden. Maintaining a strong pace, Sofronas would find himself in fourth by time he made his required pit stop, handing the car over to Holden who would drive without error to finish in the same spot.

Taking on double duty, Holden would also mount a strong effort in the series’ signature sprint events, competing with the same machine in the GTA category. Holding steady in fourth throughout Race One, Brent would end a solid run just outside of the podium, setting the stage for an exciting Race Two.

For Sunday’s event, Brent’s patient driving would prove strong, improving one position from the previous day’s running and finishing on the podium in third.

For Holden, taking two podiums in two different categories would provide a strong sense of satisfaction on the weekend.

“The fun thing about this type of weekend was the opportunity to compete in the same car with my good friend James,” stated Holden. “We needed to plan strategy, compromise on car set up and practice driver changes. As a side note, it is no small feat getting larger drivers in and out of a race car quickly. In that I also drove in the GTA races there was a lot of pressure on the crew to get the car prepared from one session to the next. The fact that we were able to run nearly eight hours of racing without one single hiccup is a testament to the quality of GMG, I couldn’t be happier with the efforts of everyone involved. A podium in both GTA and Sprint X was unexpected and quite fortunate. Full credit to the team for a strong run, I’m looking forward to finishing the season with this kind of momentum.”

Also taking part in the weekend’s GT-Cup action was Colorado native Alex Welch. Back for his first race since Road America in June, the driver of the No. 08 Torque Branding / ManCan / Morgan Adams Foundation Porsche 911 GT3 Cup would enjoy a strong weekend with a pair of fourth place finishes.

For Saturday’s Race One, Welch would qualify in fifth for the day’s festivities, making a strong start and running within sight of the lead pack for much of the race. Running his best lap within one second of the top time, Alex would advance to fourth as the race wore on, eventually crossing the finish line just outside of the top-three.

For Sunday’s Race Two, a similar outcome would play out for Alex, once again running within a second of the lead pack, advancing to fourth by time he crossed the checkered flag.

Running a smooth, error-free series of races, the weekend would once again prove Welch’s reputation as a patient and calculated competitor.

“It’s a really competitive group of young guys in GT Cup, so it’s always fun being to able to push with them,” stated Welch. “We had a few challenges in practice that really required a full team effort, and it was the exact kind of occasion that demonstrated the quality of GMG. The whole team jumped in during practice to make sure the car was in perfect condition, and that ensured the smooth weekend we had. It’s always great being a part of the series and I’m thankful to everyone for the opportunity.”

Finally, running in the Pirelli GT3 Cup Trophy USA, Kevin Westcott would enjoy a fun weekend in the series, gaining additional experience at a track he’d never been to as he works his way through the team’s driver development system. Improving with every session, Westcott would end the weekend strong, fighting for the top-10 en route to 11th.

“Utah Motorsport Campus is a completely different track than I’m used to,” stated Westcott. “With such long straights and fast corners you really have to be on your toes, but I felt well prepared and really enjoyed the experience. With so many cars here this weekend the team was able to provide a lot of help and access to information, and I’d say that went a long way. The Pirelli GT3 Cup Trophy USA is a great venue for someone likely myself who’s working his way up, and I thank everyone for a great experience.”

With only three races in two weekends remaining, the team will enjoy a small break before finishing the season in California, returning to Sonoma Raceway in just one month’s time before finishing the season at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Official practice for Sonoma will begin on Friday, September 16 with race action taking place on the 17th and 18th.

Udell, GMG Take Victory Sweep at Road America

Date	June 28, 2016

Making a big step toward his championship aim in the Pirelli World Challenge GT-Cup category, Global Motorsports Group’s (GMG) Alec Udell took a commanding victory sweep during this past weekend’s 11th and 12th rounds at the scenic Road America circuit. Entering the weekend in a tie with championship contender Sloan Urry, Udell managed to take pole position, led every lap, set fastest race lap, and ultimately take victory in both events. Completing the team’s incredible weekend, team returnee Alex Welch would also show well with two consecutive fourth-place finishes in the GT-Cup category, and team owner James Sofronas would have one of his strongest showings of the year with a top-10 in the premier GT category.

“What an incredible weekend,” stated team owner and driver James Sofronas. “We all knew how important this weekend was for Alec, and he delivered an absolutely perfect performance. We’ve all been working hard on finding every bit of speed we can in our Porsches, and it’s really showing. Alec seemed to be in his own category this weekend, and it was huge for his championship hopes. There’s still a long way to go but this was definitely the kind of weekend we all needed. Alex Welch did a great job coming back this weekend, and he showed incredible pace. The top guys in GT-Cup are very young and extremely fast, and the fact he was right with them is a great testament to how far he’s come. Additionally, I’m pretty happy with my own performance as well. Another top-10 was a great testament to the quality of our car and crew with this new GT3 R, and we’re already focused toward the next race at Mid-Ohio.”

Driving the No. 17 Euroworld Motorsports / Panther Pipeline / Amsource Capital Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, Alec Udell came in to the weekend knowing that victory would be critical for his championship hopes, and similarly that any mistakes could be incredibly costly. Throughout practice at the scenic Wisconsin circuit, the Texas native showed impressive pace, and after qualifying on pole for Saturday’s Race One, it was clear it was his race to control.

When Saturday’s green flag dropped, Alec was immediately on pace, taking the lead in to Turn One and never looking back. As the 50-minute race continued on, the 20-year old never faced any real challenges, managing his tires as the race unfolded and officially taking the victory by over six seconds.

For Sunday’s Race Two, a fairly similar outcome would be on display. While an early caution period would keep the field close for the opening half of the event, once the race resumed Alec would slowly build a gap over the field behind him, eventually taking victory by over eight seconds.

The weekend now puts Udell in to the championship lead with a total of seven victories on the season, however the Clemson University engineering student is aware there are still several races to go in his championship quest.

“This was the exact kind of weekend we needed,” stated Udell. “Everything just clicked for us. We found a setup that has really worked, and we’re really pleased with the progress we’ve made. Having a weekend like this is obviously a team effort, and it starts with folks like my Crew Chief Neville, and of course James, and carries on to every member of the crew. This championship really rewards winning, but it also really penalizes mistakes so we can never be too comfortable. There are still seven races to go, so we have to approach it one race at a time, starting with the next one at Mid-Ohio.”

Driving the No. 08 Torque Branding / Morgan Adams Foundation Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, Alex Welch would return to the GT-Cup category having not competed since the season-opener in Austin, Texas. No stranger to Porsche competition, the Colorado resident came in to the event fully aware of the challenge ahead, and did an impressive job of keeping up with the lead pack throughout both races.

During Saturday’s Race One, Alex would do well to re-acclimate himself to the level of competition in the category. Doing his best to keep pace with the lead pack, Welch would run a mistake-free race, running consistent lap times and never putting a foot wrong as he finished just outside of the podium, taking fourth.

For Sunday’s Race Two, the race would be much the same, with Alex doing an impressive job of staying in contention for third place, spending much of his race as part of a great three-way battle for second. He would ultimately finish where he started, once again taking fourth on the day.

“Any time you can race at Road America, it’s going to be a great weekend,” stated Welch. “With the high speeds here you’re always a little conscious of the stakes if you make a mistake, but luckily our race was incredibly clean. Alec and the other podium finishers are a really strong group of young guys, so being able to keep up with them was a lot of fun, and hopefully something we can continue in to the rest of our season.”

Finally, driving the No. 14 Spyder / Mobil 1 / The Thermal Club Porsche 911 GT3 R, James Sofronas would have a strong run in the series’ premier GT category. With his focus on car development and translating to the street-tuning side of his business, the weekend would have one of his best weekends of the year.

For Saturday’s Race One, Sofronas would spend much of his race in pursuit of the top-10, constantly engaged in a variety of on-track battles. Aware of the tricky nature of Road America, the Villa Park, Caifornia resident decided patience would be key, opting to preserve his car for an even stronger performance for Sunday’s Race Two.

On Sunday, the strategy would pay off, with Sofronas spending much of his race in pursuit of former Rolex GT champion Andrew Davis, eventually crossing the finish line in 10th, his second top-10 finish of the 2016 season.

With over a month off, all attention now turns to another classic road course, the famed Mid-Ohio circuit in Lexington, Ohio. Race One will take place on Friday, July 29, with Race Two taking place the next day. The team will have more to announce as we get closer to the event.

Victory and Podium Sweep for Sofronas, GMG in Lamborghini ST Season Opener at Monterey

Date	May 3, 2016

Making a strong return to the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo North America, Global Motorsports Group’s (GMG) James Sofronas made an impressive return to the series by opening their 2016 campaign with a victory, followed by second-place, during this weekend’s season-opening double-header at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Not to be outdone, teammates Stefan Wilson and David Seabrooke would also prove strong, taking consecutive seventh-place finishes in their series debut.

“It was a great weekend overall,” stated Sofronas. “It’s a little bittersweet because we were so close to winning both races, but overall I’m incredibly happy with our performance. Both of our Lamborghinis were incredibly quick, and I think we showed just how good of a program we can put together. Every race we learn something new, and headed in to the rest of the season I think we discovered a few things that will absolutely translate for the remaining rounds, not to mention some areas that our street tuning side can benefit from. It was also great having David and Stefan on-board. They both came in with a lot of experience in their respective backgrounds, but it was their first taste of this type of machine and they both adapted beautifully. I’m sure they will only run stronger as the season goes on.”

A veteran of the series, Sofronas came in to the weekend with a prime focus on re-learning his No. 14 Mobil 1 / Spyder / The Thermal Club Lamborghini Huracán LP 620-2. With the team’s aim on car development and setting the stage for future drivers and development pieces, the Villa Park, California native came in to Saturday’s first round quietly confident of his chances. As the green flag fell, James wasted no time controlling his race, essentially taking the lead and never looking back, including a faultless pit stop and not putting a foot wrong in all 50 minutes of running. He would take the checkered flag with a commanding victory, showing the immediate strengths of the organization.

For Sunday’s Round Two, the story would be much the same, with the team owner controlling the majority of the race, and again running error-free on the track and in the pits. Unfortunately, as the laps closed down, a hard charging Trent Hindman in the No. 10 machine would engage Sofronas in a tough battle during the final laps, just barely managing to slip past and demoting James to second once the checkered flag fell.

For the No. 23 Canoe Studios machine of David Seabrooke and Stefan Wilson, a quiet run to seventh place during both rounds would underscore a tremendous potential from the duo.

During Race One, Wilson would take opening duties to gauge the team’s pace, pulling a series of quick lap times and threatening for a podium position. After a faultless series of laps, the young open-wheel standout would pit in favor of Seabrooke, however a small miscue during the stop would set the team behind, with Seabrook eventually rejoining the field in pursuit of the field in front of him. Proving the patience of a veteran who has driven some of the biggest events in the world, David would take the checkered flag without a scratch on the car, placing them in prime contention for Race Two.

During the Sunday round, the two would reverse roles, with Seabrooke taking starting honors, and once again proving faultless in his efforts to hold a steady pace throughout his opening stint. As the race neared halfway and in to the pit window, the team would stop for a driver change, with Wilson getting his chance to see the car through to the end. Unfortunately, a second delay in the pits would set Stefan back, with his focus turning to gaining ground on the field in front of him. Much like his teammate, Wilson would push his way through during the final 30 minutes, running a clean race and eventually crossing the line in seventh.

For David Seabrooke, returning to IMSA-sanctioned competition for the first time in nearly three decades, the potential from the event was definitely evident.

“This is a great series and I really enjoyed our first taste of it,” stated Seabrooke. “I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this car was an absolute joy to drive, and the series is very competitive. Everyone at GMG did a great job getting the car prepared, as well as giving Stefan and I all the access we needed to the data, etc. to really make a good run at it. Stefan did a great job out there, it’s a big change from what he’s used to, and I look forward to seeing what the future holds.”

For Stefan Wilson, who will make his first attempt at qualifying for the Indianapolis 500 in less than three weeks, a similar sentiment is shared.

“It’s a very different type of car from what I’m used to, but the Lamborghini Huracán is a pretty impressive machine,” stated Wilson. “I have to thank James and everyone at GMG for running such a great team, I really enjoyed it, and above all I really have to thank my teammate David for making this all happen. It’s great to get back behind the wheel headed in to a very busy month of May, and I hope to be back.”

With an extended break until Round Two, the series will take a two-month break until returning to Watkins Glen International on July 1, returning to competition at one of North America’s most legendary circuits. While the team has yet to announce their intentions for the event, they are actively pursuing multiple opportunities to compete, and welcome additional inquiries from prospective participants.

GMG Set for Lamborghini Super Trofeo Series Return

Date	April 27, 2016

Continuing their commitment to driver development and a vertically integrated platform, Global Motorsports Group (GMG) is pleased to announce a two-car return to IMSA’s Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo Series North America, with the 2016 season-opener taking place during this weekend’s Continental Tire Monterey Grand Prix at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Entering two cars, team owner James Sofronas will return in the team’s No. 14 entry, with open-wheel standout Stefan Wilson and veteran driver David Seabrooke driving the team’s No. 23 machine.

“It’s great to be back in the series,” stated GMG team owner James Sofronas. “We’ve been happy to compete in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo series since their first North American race in 2013, and it’s great to be part of the effort three years later. The Lamborghini Huracán is a great car that is a ton of fun to drive, but equally important it’s a great platform for developing drivers to get in with a wide range of experience levels. Having been involved in the series for several years, we have a great data set behind us, and in such it should really help anyone who comes under our tent. The addition of Stefan and David will be fantastic for us this weekend. Stefan is obviously weeks away from his Indianapolis debut and hopefully we can help get him ready, and David comes with years of experience in sports car so they should be a good mix. I also need to thank Lamborghini Newport Beach for really stepping in to help the program this week, they’ve been a great partner and a big part of why we’re here.”

Entering two separate Lamborghini LP620-2 Super Trofeo machines, the team will bring a combination of experience and development to the IMSA-sanctioned event.

Headlining the program will be the No. 23 Canoe Studio Studios machine with Wilson and Seabrooke. A newcomer to the series, Stefan Wilson joins the team with a wealth of open wheel racing experience, including winning the 2007 McLaren Autosport BRDC award for young drivers, taking four wins in the British F3 National class, and most recently two wins in the Indy Lights series. Most notably, the 26-year old will make his debut at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in just three weeks, driving the No. 25 Chevrolet for KV Racing as he attempts to qualify for the 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500.

“It’s great to get back behind the wheel before a busy May begins,” stated Wilson. “The Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo Series should present an interesting challenge, and it’s one I look forward to. The cars will be very different from what I’m used to, but I look forward to the opportunity, and I really appreciate David and the whole team at GMG for providing the opportunity.”

Hailing from New York, David Seabrooke will also make his series debut co-driving with Wilson. A veteran of both two and four-wheel racing, Seabrooke’s most notable experiences come from IMSA competition, having driven both the legendary Porsche 962 and Nissan GTP machines in 1989 and 1990 respectively, racing at such events as the Rolex 24 at Daytona and Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring. Since then, David has continued to drive in a variety of events, most notably European vintage racing in the prolific Porsche 934.5.

“It’s great to return to IMSA competition,” stated Seabrooke. “The Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo Series seems like a really fun, competitive way to get back on to this level of motorsport, and it just seemed like the right opportunity. James and everyone at GMG have been great to work with so far, and it should be a great opportunity for all of us involved. Stefan is obviously new to the series as well, but given his experience I’m sure he’ll be up to speed quickly, and it should make for a great weekend.”

Returning to the series will be the No. 14 Lamborghini Newport Beach / Mobil 1 / Spyder machine of James Sofronas. While the Villa Park, California native is most known for his exploits in the Pirelli World Challenge, the team owner has run multiple LBST events over the last three years as part of the team’s commitment to developing their aftermarket line of Lamborghini street products. Sofronas earned multiple victories and even a team championship during the inaugural 2013 season. Using the weekend as an opportunity to dial in the cars and make progress on setup, the team is still entertaining potential options on a possible co-driver for Sofronas, splitting track time and race duties.

Official practice begins this Friday, April 29, with Race One taking place on Saturday at 10AM PT followed by Race Two on Sunday, May 1 at 8:30AM PT.

Udell, GMG Take Commanding Victory Sweep in Alabama

Date	April 25, 2016

Continuing his pursuit of the Pirelli World Challenge’s GT-Cup category championship, Global Motorsport Group’s (GMG) Alec Udell took a commanding victory sweep during both rounds of this past weekend’s events at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama. Taking pole, leading every lap, and crossing the finish line in first, the 20-year old took a demonstrable series of victories in the No. 17 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup to narrow his championship hunt to just six points.

“This weekend was incredible,” stated the Clemson University engineering student. “We came in to the weekend knowing we had a fast car, but with this type of racing you never really know what to expect. From the first session we knew we had a real shot at turning things around, and we did just that. It was an amazing weekend, I don’t know what to say. I can’t thank everyone at GMG enough, it was an absolute team effort and I’m happy we were able to deliver for all the guys here. Obviously we couldn’t have been here without all of our partners at Euroworld Motorsports, M Performance, Panther Pipeline and Amsource Capital, and today’s victory was a real tribute to them.”

Qualifying on pole position for Saturday’s Race One, Udell’s strong pace throughout practice gave hint that his primary objective would be getting through the opening laps cleanly, with his speed being able to manage the race from there. Focusing on a mistake-free run, the Woodlands, Texas native did just that, taking the lead in to the first turn and simply never looking back. Managing his time, an extended yellow throughout the mid-portion of the race would allow the field to re-catch, however Alec’s pace was unrelenting and he was able to re-build a gap as the laps went on. As the 50-minute race came to an end, Udell’s form was unchallenged as he took the checkered flag in commanding form.

Setting the fastest lap in Race One, Udell would find himself on pole yet again for Sunday’s Race Two. Once again making a clean start to lead the opening lap, Alec would have the pace under his control, managing his tires in case of a late-race yellow that never came, eventually grabbing his second victory in succession.

With a four-week break until the next event at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville, Canada, the team will turn all attention toward keeping up the momentum of the No. 17 machine for the seventh and eighth rounds of the series. Official practice will begin on Friday, May 20, with the race’s double-header taking place that Saturday and Sunday.
