After making selected starts in their BMW M4 GT4 EVO machinery last year, Craig is set for a full-time effort in GT America powered by AWS, with Zach paired up with sports car racing veteran Kris Wilson in Pirelli GT4 America. Both programs achieved success last year, with Zach Lumsden and Wilson earning an Am class win in Race 2 at Virginia International Raceway and Craig Lumsden scoring podium finishes in his professional sports car racing debut at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The off-road racers, who run under the Colorado MotorSport banner, will now be embarking on a full-time program operated by the Darren Law-led Lizards squad. “Our race history has focused a lot on desert racing worldwide, but the focus now comes home to the U.S. in our BMW M4 GT4 EVOs,” said Craig Lumsde...

Photo: Ferrari Ferrari has revealed an updated livery for its pair of factory 499P Hypercars at a launch event at the Museo Enzo Ferrari in Modena as it seeks to defend its double FIA World Endurance Championship title success. The Italian manufacturer showcased a new gloss finish to its Rosso Scuderia color scheme, which is identical to its 2026 Formula 1 challenger. The evolved livery, still inspired by the Ferrari 312P that represented the brand’s previous top-tier world sports car attack, also features a reversal in direction of the yellow arrows around the cockpit. The cars also sport laurels near the front wheels that commemorate the 499P’s WEC titles last year. Ferrari has retained the driver lineups that guided it to world championship sports car glory for the first time since 1972, with world drivers’ champions James Calado, Antonio Giovinazzi and Alessandro Pier Guidi continuing aboard the No. 51 machine. The sister No. 50 Ferrari will again be piloted by Mig...

Photo: IMSA IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge has a busy two weeks ahead, particularly for LMP3 competitors, with a rare set of back-to-back race weekends are on tap, starting a two-race sprint event at Circuit of The Americas this weekend followed by the first two-hour IMSA Airbnb Endurance Challenge round at Sebring International Raceway as part of a USAC-sanctioned event weekend. A total of 17 cars are entered for Rounds 3 and 4 of the sprint season, with no GTDX cars again present, as was the case in last month’s season opener at Daytona International Speedway. The VP Racing Challenge returned to COTA after a several-year hiatus in 2025, with Jonathan Woolridge and Valentino Catalano splitting the same-day victories in LMP3. The COTA race in February comes as part of the NASCAR Cup Series’ weekend on COTA’s 2.4-mile National course, so both VP Racing Challenge races will be held on Saturday. Oscar Tunjo, who swept the season-opening doubleheader round at Daytona Internatio...

Photo: Turner Motorsport Turner Motorsport has officially confirmed its move to the Pro class of GT World Challenge America powered by AWS, with two-time Pro-Am champions Robby Foley and Justin Rothberg. As previously revealed by Sportscar365 , the duo, who won the 2024 and 2025 titles in Pro-Am, will now contest for overall honors in their BMW M4 GT3 EVO. This is due to Rothberg, who is FIA Silver rated, no longer receiving a driver derogation to Bronze* by SRO America due to the 24-year-old’s string of success, which also included winning las year’s GT America powered by AWS SRO3 class title. As a result, Rothberg will exclusively focus on GTWC America competition. “I’m super excited to be returning to World Challenge this season with Robby, Turner Motorsport, and Laticrete,” he said. “This season will definitely be a challenge moving up to the Pro class, but I think we’ve got a great team and playbook to maximize our chances at success. “I know Robby and everyone at Turner ...

Photo: Rutronik Racing Title-winning GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS squad Rutronik Racing will still field a Porsche in the series this year, despite switching its top-class focus to the new Lamborghini Temerario GT3, with Porsche factory driver Sven Mueller spearheading a Bronze Cup entry. Mueller claimed the overall Endurance Cup title last season at the wheel of a Rutronik Porsche 911 GT3 R alongside Patric Niederhauser and Alessio Picariello. But the squad will be defending that crown with a new lineup comprised of Lamborghini factory drivers  for the Temerario GT3’s first year of competition. However, Rutronik has not cut all ties with Porsche and will mount a Bronze Cup attack with Mueller and Antares Au contesting the full season. Au was Endurance Cup runner-up in the division last year with Rutronik alongside Loek Hartog. Mueller and Au will then be joined by reigning FIA World Endurance Championship LMGT3 title winner Riccardo Pera for the Endura...
