Kellymoss will double up its efforts in SRO America this year, adding three Porsche entries for Pirelli GT4 America in addition to its previously announced trio of Porsche 911 GT3 R Evos in GT World Challenge America powered by AWS.

The championship-winning organization announced on Thursday that it will also run Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsports in SRO America competition, beginning with next month’s season opener at Sonoma Raceway.

It will mark the Madison, Wis.-based team’s return to running the GT4 platform in pro-level racing since its two-year campaign in IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge competition (pictured above).

Three-time GT4 America champion Eric Filgueiras will make his full-time series return alongside Tom Kopczynski in the No. 52 Porsche, while Erika Hoffmann and Jack Parriott will team up in the No. 73 entry, with Ashley Freiberg and Loni Unser in the team’s No. 24 car.

Both the Filgueiras/Kopczynski and Freiberg/Unser entries will race in the Pro-Am class, with Hoffmann and Parriott’s categorization yet to be finalized.

“What excites me about this lineup is the balance,” said team principal and chief technical officer Andy Kilcoyne. “Each pairing is very intentional.

“We have drivers continuing to sharpen their racecraft, stepping into deeper manufacturer competition, and aligning in ways that accelerate one another’s growth.

“That combination creates a powerful environment for development.”

Porsche Female Driver Program members Freiberg and Unser had been working with the Victoria Thomas co-owned team for an all-female lineup, which was initially earmarked for GT3.

However, the program will instead begin in the GT4 ranks for the upcoming campaign.

“Loni and I have worked together for several years through Radius Drive, and it has been incredibly rewarding to watch her hard work translate into such strong performances in the Porsche Cayman GT4 over the past few seasons,” said Freiberg.

“I’m looking forward to competing alongside her and building on that momentum together.”

Unser added: “Victoria Thomas has been an incredible source of support and inspiration for me and I’m grateful for the opportunity to join her and the entire Kellymoss crew for what promises to be an exciting season in SRO GT4 America.”
