GMG Racing Principal, Founder, and Team Driver James Sofronas made IMSA Porsche Carrera Cup North America history this weekend, becoming the first driver to score Pro-Am class wins at all three Formula 1 event venues—Miami, Montreal, and Circuit of The Americas (COTA).

The milestone victory came during Saturday’s 40-minute sprint at the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, where Sofronas took the Pro-Am win in commanding fashion aboard his No. 14 GMG Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, crossing the line eighth overall and more than 10 seconds ahead of the next driver in class.

“Carrera Cup is the top-level, single-make Porsche series in America, so you know if you do well here, you’ve beaten some really talented drivers,” said Sofronas. “And to race on an F1 weekend is super special. There’s over 100,000 people here, and they love these cars. We were fortunate to be able to deliver.”

A Milestone Years in the Making

Although Carrera Cup North America launched in 2021, Sofronas only made his series debut at COTA in 2023—but wasted no time making his presence felt, sweeping the Pro-Am races at the Austin F1 weekend that year. He followed it up with a wet-weather win at the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal in 2024, taking the lead just before the field was neutralized under full-course caution.

Now, with his Miami victory, Sofronas becomes the first driver to win at all three F1 Carrera Cup events. He backed up Saturday’s triumph with a second-place finish on Sunday, narrowly losing out to the same driver he beat the day before.

“Street circuits like Miami are always intense,” Sofronas said. “With the tight Turn 1 here, it’s not a question of if but when someone will make contact. You’ve got to be aggressive and smart, and I think we executed both races well.”

In just 13 Carrera Cup starts, Sofronas has now collected six Pro-Am victories, firmly establishing himself as a front-runner in the championship. His results from Miami provisionally move him up to third in the 2025 Pro-Am standings.

Mulcahy Continues Strong Rookie Season

The Miami GP also marked the Formula 1 race weekend debut for GMG Racing’s Patrick Mulcahy, who made his Carrera Cup debut at Sebring in March. After briefly running as high as third in class, Mulcahy secured another top-five finish with P5 in Pro-Am in the No. 54 GMG Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup.

“The fact that Patrick had the pace that he did so quickly in just his second career temporary circuit and Carrera Cup weekend is very encouraging,” said Sofronas. “He’s developing exactly the way we hoped, and I expect him to keep moving up the rankings.”
