GMG Racing has more than 16 hours of scheduled Porsche racing competition still ahead this year, but the established championship and race-winning team has already garnered some season title accolades ahead of this weekend’s IMSA Carrera Cup North America doubleheader at Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS).

First-year Carrera Cup driver Patrick Mulcahy makes his Brickyard debut in his No. 54 GMG Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (pictured at top) while GMG Racing Principal and Founder James Sofronas is determined to return to his 2025 winning form at IMS in his No. 14 GMG Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (pictured below) this weekend.

It was longtime team driver Kyle Washington, however, who first reached a championship podium this year when he sealed Porsche Sprint Challenge USA West third-place Masters class year-end honors in last weekend’s season finale at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta (MRRA).

“The hard work our GMG Racing crew and drivers have already put in this year has paid off with race wins in four different series, and podiums in every championship in which we compete,” Sofronas said. “Even though he didn’t race the full schedule, Kyle did a great job in maximizing his points at every Sprint Challenge West race he contested to finish in the Masters championship top three. Now we are confidently looking at more race wins and top championship finishes with a huge schedule of competition with our Porsche programs and more still ahead in 2025.”

This weekend’s Carrera Cup rounds at the IMSA Battle on The Bricks are the first of two stops at the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway for GMG Racing in the coming weeks. The team returns for Intercontinental GT Challenge Indianapolis 8 Hour race weekend in October and also has multiple entries set for the final weekends of 2025 Carrera Cup competition at Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta and the series finale on the Formula 1 U.S. Grand Prix weekend at Circuit of The Americas (COTA).

Mulcahy pulled off a hot summer stretch of three-straight Carrera Cup Pro-Am finishes in June at Montreal and Watkins Glen. A career-best second place finish on Sunday in Canada was bookended by a pair of third-place finishes the day before in the opening Carrera Cup race at Montreal and a week later in Saturday’s first race at Watkins Glen.

Meanwhile, Sofronas won the Saturday Pro-Am race in Montreal to solidify his unmatched record as the only Carrera Cup driver to secure at least one career victory at all three Formula 1 events the premier single-make Porsche championship currently contests at the Miami, Montreal and Circuit of The Americas (COTA) F1 U.S. Grand Prix races. Earlier this season, Sofronas checked the Miami Grand Prix Formula 1 event off the list with a Saturday Pro-Am victory.

Washington raced in the season-opening Carrera Cup doubleheader at Sebring and is scheduled to return to the series on Petit Le Mans weekend. It will bring him back to a Road Atlanta track on which he scored second and third-place Sprint Challenge USA West Masters class finishes (pictured above) in last weekend’s races to clinch third in the season championship. Washington also scored a Masters Class victory this April in the second race weekend of the season at Sonoma Raceway.

The Indianapolis Carrera Cup race weekend began today with morning and afternoon practice sessions in preparation for qualifying Friday, September 19, at 9:35 a.m. EDT. The first of the weekend’s twin 40-minute races goes green later on Friday at 3 p.m. EDT, with the final sprint set to start Saturday, September 20, at 10:45 a.m. EDT.

Both races can be seen live on the IMSA and Porsche Motorsport North America YouTube Channels, IMSA.TV and NBC’s Peacock streaming network.
