Mixed conditions and high stakes defined the weekend at Sonoma Raceway, where Porsche Sprint Challenge USA West by Yokohama competitors faced the season’s most demanding weekends. From drying lines to late‑race rain, the unpredictable weather tested driver patience, tire management, and race craft across both races.
Porsche Motorsport North America continues to broaden the scope of its Porsche Mobil 1™ Female Driver Program in 2026, expanding beyond traditional Porsche one-make racing championships.
The evolution comes as Porsche and the Mobil 1™ approach a major milestone, with 2026 marking 30 years of global motorsport collaboration between the two brands.
Originally centered around Porsche’s one-make ladder, the program has evolved into a wider development platform this season, with drivers now competing in series including Porsche Carrera Cup North America, Porsche Sprint Challenge North America by Yokohama, GT World Challenge America by AWS, Pirelli GT4 America, and IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge.
The 2026 roster reflects that expansion, featuring a diverse group of drivers across the sports car racing landscape:
By extending its reach into open competition sports car racing, the initiative now more closely aligns with Porsche Motorsport’s broader driver development pyramid, offering participants experience beyond sprint-format one-make competition.
Sabré Cook, the inaugural member of the program, emphasized the impact of that continued support.
“There are very few programs in motorsport that combine opportunity with real development in the way this one does,” Cook said.
“When I joined Carrera Cup in 2023, the support from Porsche Motorsport North America and the Mobil 1 brand was absolutely instrumental in making that step possible and in helping me be prepared for it.
“It’s not just about getting on the grid; it’s about having the structure, resources, and guidance to actually grow once you’re there.
“To now see the program expand in 2026 across multiple championships shows a real commitment to building something sustainable for women in the sport.”
Therese Lahlouh highlighted the structured pathway the program provides.
“I think there are very few manufacturers who are truly putting action behind intention,” Lahlouh said. “Porsche and the Mobil 1 brand have created a structured system that not only identifies talent but also nurtures it.
“For someone like me, with limited experience in motorsport, exposure to a program like this and the development opportunities it provides have really accelerated my career in exactly the way I needed and helped me maximize my potential. It’s not just true for me, but for all the women in the program.
“I went from grassroots racing to Porsche Sprint Challenge North America by Yokohama just three years ago, and now I’m the only woman in the world competing full-time in a Porsche 911 GT3 R. That’s a testament to how well programs like this work and the importance of identifying the right people who can truly use the opportunity to launch themselves toward their dreams.”
Madeline Stewart, now competing in IMSA’s Pilot Challenge in a Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport, pointed to the program’s role in her progression.
“Having the support from Porsche Motorsport North America, along with the Mobil 1 brand and being a part of the Mobil 1 Female Driver Program, has really been crucial to my performance and my opportunities here in North America,” Stewart said.
“Without their support, I wouldn’t have been on the grid in Carrera Cup, so I’m really grateful to be a part of the program.
“I’ve also had the opportunity through that program to learn so much about being a good racing driver – being well-rounded inside the race car and outside of it. That’s been crucial to my development and really put me in this position.”
The program continues to emphasize not only on-track performance, but also professional development away from the cockpit, including media training, fitness, and technical education.
The long-standing relationship between Porsche and Mobil 1™ adds further weight to the program’s continued growth. Since the mid-1990s, the partnership has played a key role in Porsche’s global motorsport success, and the 2026 season will mark 30 years of collaboration across endurance racing, one-make championships, and customer racing programs worldwide.
“Programs like the Porsche Mobil 1 Female Driver Program prove that meaningful progress happens when opportunity is paired with long-term development,” says Kelli H. Wright, Director of Lubricants Global Markets for Mobil 1.
“As an advocate for advancing women in this industry, I’m proud to see the real impact of the program and to help expand this initiative across multiple racing platforms, building sustainable pathways for women in motorsport.”
According to Porsche Motorsport North America President and CEO Volker Holzmeyer, Porsche one‑make racing remains the foundation of the brand’s driver development pathway.
“Porsche one‑make racing is where drivers learn what it means to compete the Porsche way,” Holzmeyer said. “It provides an exceptional platform for developing racecraft, professionalism, and technical understanding, and it continues to be a cornerstone of our Motorsport ecosystem.”
Holzmeyer emphasized that as drivers build on that foundation and progress into broader GT racing environments, Porsche’s commitment remains unchanged.
“As drivers graduate from Porsche one‑make competition and expand into multi‑brand GT racing, our support continues,” he said. “We’re proud to follow their journeys as they take the next steps in their careers, carrying the values and experience gained in our one‑make championships into some of the most competitive series in North America – still racing Porsche.”
“Our role is to provide continuity and confidence as these drivers grow, whether they are competing in Carrera Cup, GT World Challenge powered by AWS, Pirelli GT4 America, or the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge. Porsche one‑make racing prepares them for that challenge, and we’re proud to stand behind them as they progress.”
“The Mobil 1™ brand is a critical component in that journey, helping support our drivers as they advance within the Porsche Motorsport Pyramid.”
With representation across multiple series and race formats – and with a historic milestone arriving in the Porsche and the Mobil 1™ relationship – the 2026 program marks a clear shift toward a more integrated and comprehensive approach, positioning its drivers for long-term success at the highest levels of sports car racing.
Porsche Sprint Challenge North America by Yokohama is back on track in two weeks at Sonoma Raceway. The rounds on April 10 – 12 also doubles as the second Porsche Endurance Challenge North America event of the year, as well as round two of Porsche Sprint Challenge USA West.
JDX Racing led at the start, and most importantly at the end, of the first Porsche Endurance Challenge North America by Yokohama race of 2026, but the team had to work mid‑race to secure its win at Sebring International Raceway.
The star‑studded 992 Pro‑Am category featured current and former Porsche Carrera Cup North America racers including Aaron Jeansonne, Yyves Baltas, Jared Thomas, and 2025 Carrera Cup Champion and current Porsche Selected Driver Ryan Yardley.
Polesitter Roberto Tutino partnered with veteran driver Daniel Morad for the 100‑minute enduro, starting their #260 JDX Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup in the 992 Pro‑Am class from pole position.
Tutino was shuffled outside the top-three early and when Morad hopped behind the wheel, the Canadian slashed a 10-second gap to capture the lead in the closing laps of the race in spectacular fashion.
Morad’s move came on former Champ Car and Porsche Carrera Cup North America driver Dan Clarke, who held on for second place alongside co-driver Blake McGovern. Chris Hutter and former Porsche Sprint Challenge North America graduate Jared Thomas completed the Pro-Am podium in third.
In the 992 Am category, Matt Dusek and Charlie Hayes had a rollercoaster day but emerged on top with CHR, just months after the team finished second in the 2025 Endurance Challenge championship standings.
Dusek held a strong lead early in Sunday’s contest, but clashed with a Pro-Am car before the driver change. Hayes inherited the slightly damaged #251 911 GT3 Cup, but went on for the win.
Charles Espenlaub made a pass on Tyler Hoffman in the final quarter hour of the race to finish second with Henry Marshall. Hoffman and Michael Cobb finished third.
After an up-and-down weekend in Sprint Challenge North America, William Peluchiwski ended his Sebring trip on top in the Cayman Pro-Am class.
After starting third, Peluchiwski kept his #62 Kellymoss Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport clean for co-driver and coach Andrew Davis. Following the mandatory pit stop, Davis cycled into the class lead and never relinquished the position.
Dan Drohan tallied another podium finish at Sebring after winning the opening Sprint Challenge race on Friday on his debut and finishing second in the Cayman Pro-Am on Sunday with Taylor Van Overbeek.
The father–daughter duo of Greg and Anna Cecchi followed in third after also finding success earlier in the Sprint Challenge weekend. Both competed in the Cayman races, with the younger Cecchi sweeping her Pro-Am class and Greg finishing on the Masters podium on Friday, capping of a trophy-filled weekend for Charlie Hayes Racing.
There was another comeback story to be found deeper in the field to conclude Sunday’s enduro. Heinlein Racing Development proved to be the team to beat with drivers Todd Ruttura and Reginald Tartaglione, but a penalty during the pit stop dropped closing driver Tartaglione behind fellow Cayman competitor Justin Lewis.
However, in his #59 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport, Tartaglione chased down Lewis to regain the lead and eventual win in the final 10 minutes of the race.

Belgian young star Karel Staut and female racer Anna Cecchi emerged as the standout winners of the 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge North America by Yokohama season opener at Sebring International Raceway.
15-year-old Staut captured both 992 victories across the weekend, while Porsche Mobil 1 Female Driver Program racer Cecchi completed a Cayman sweep with back-to-back victories.
This year marks the series’ sixth season of competition after its inaugural run in 2021, and drivers from across the country – and even abroad – gathered in central Florida to kick off the calendar.
Two stories could be told about the two 992 races at Sebring, which featured a relaxed Race 1 on Friday and a hectic Race 2 on Saturday.
Despite the varying conditions and with nearly 40 entries, the Pro-Am and Masters classes saw the same victors – Karel Staut with Kellymoss and Matt Smith with ACI Motorsports, respectively – on both days.
Friday’s race ran green flag for the full duration and both winners led every lap en route to the first checkered flag of the season.
However, rain began to pour over the 3.74-mile circuit at the start of Race 2, leading to a nearly 15-minute red flag stoppage to give the teams an opportunity to change to wet weather Yokohamas.
Racing resumed with seven minutes to go, but several cars fell victim to the slippery surface and brought out a race-ending yellow flag.
In both races, Staut’s closest competition was Porsche Junior Program’s Riley Giacomazzi & Matthew Siegal, seeing the trio have a spirited start to Race 2 before Staut ultimately pulled away.
It was the Belgian’s first outing in Porsche One‑Make competition, stepping up from single‑seater racing in F4 with his only prior Porsche 911 GT3 Cup experience coming from European testing at the end of 2025.
Giacomazzi, another young driver but no stranger to the Porsche family, finished second in Race 1, while Matthew Siegal finished third on Friday and second on Saturday. Tony Malito also took a turn on the podium, finishing third in Race 2.
The 992 Masters class saw a similar podium sequence. Alain Scalzo finished second on Friday, while Todd Trefferet finished third in Race 1 and second in Race 2.
Longtime Porsche single-make racer, Mark Boden, completed Saturday’s podium in third.
Starting her second full season of professional racing and ahead of International Women’s Day on Sunday, Anna Cecchi cruised for back-to-back Cayman Pro-Am class victories at Sebring in her Charlie Hayes Racing #27 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport machine.
Only once in 2025 did the up-and-comer win in Porsche Sprint Challenge North America USA West, but Cecchi’s seamless performances on Friday and Saturday could be a sign of what’s ahead for the Porsche Mobil 1 Female Driver in 2026.
She started on pole position and led flag-to-flag in both races, and anytime runner-up finisher Keith Grant closed in, she expanded the deficit back again.
Grant’s closest opportunity came on the final lap of Race 1, but he finished a narrow .205 seconds behind Cecchi and again in Race 2 by 1.623 seconds.
His brother and Grant Motorsports teammate, David Grant, finished third in Saturday’s race, while Spencer Propper rounded out the podium in Race 1 the day prior.
The Cayman Masters class saw a variety of faces on the podium at Sebring, and Dan Drohan was first to strike on his series debut with a Race 1 win on Friday.
Drohan – teammates with Cecchi at CHR – found himself in the lead on lap 1 after the polesitter William Peluchiwski was caught in a scuffle with another competitor.
Series newcomer Drohan would hold on to the lead for the remainder of the race, finishing ahead of Anna Cecchi’s father, Greg, in second and Ramy Farid in third.
The elder Cecchi and Farid provided some of the most entertaining battles of the day, concluding with Cecchi nipping Farid at the checkered flag by just .018 seconds.
In Race 2, 2025 Sprint Challenge USA West champion Tom Rogers prevailed for the win after a difficult first race on Friday, and Peluchiwski also enjoyed a rebound performance by finishing second.
The only Cayman Masters driver to finish on the podium in both races was Farid, who finished third again on Saturday.
After a year away, Porsche Sprint Challenge North America by Yokohama returns to Barber Motorsports Park in three weeks, joining IndyCar at the immaculate Alabama circuit for Round 2 of the 2026 season.
With 24 cars entered and powerhouse Porsche customer teams on the grid, the 2026 Porsche Endurance Challenge North America by Yokohama season begins March 8 at Sebring International Raceway.
Introduced in 2024, the championship has quickly become a proving ground for drivers transitioning from sprint racing into professional endurance competition, becoming a key step in the North American Porsche Motorsport Pyramid. That pathway is clearly reflected on this year’s entry list.
Reigning Porsche Carrera Cup North America champion Ryan Yardley, now a 2026 Porsche Motorsport North America Selected Driver, used Endurance Challenge as a stepping stone before moving into full-season GT3 competition in GT World Challenge America presented by AWS.
Yardley and David Musial Jr crossed the line first as an invitational entry in the final race of the 2025 season – the four-hour Road Atlanta battle and the duo is now headed to World Challenge this season in a Wright Motorsports-entered Porsche 911 GT3 R.
The same can be said for Zachary Vanier, the 2025 Porsche Global Junior Shootout North American representative. Vanier was an Endurance Challenge regular in the past two seasons alongside Mike Mim. This season, he too will drive a 911 GT3 R in World Challenge – teamed with fellow Carrera Cup ace Michael McCann.
Other racers to use the series as a stepping stone to open competition in GT World Challenge North America powered by AWS include John Gilliland, Todd Parriott, Michael Clarke, Scott Blind plus Reinhold Krahn and Loek Hartog who are also flying the flag internationally.
Their progression demonstrates what the championship is built to do: provide one-make drivers with a clear, structured path to learn endurance racing before moving up to global GT competition.
The 100-minute Sebring opener will feature 24 cars across four classes – a grid packed with IMSA and SRO regulars.
Leading Porsche One-Make teams well represented. TOPP Racing, JTR Motorsports Engineering, JDX Racing, Kellymoss, ACI Motorsport, Charlie Hayes Racing, Competition Motorsports, Vintage Racing Company, and HM Road Racing headline a paddock that reads like an all-star line-up of the Porsche customer racing ecosystem.
At the front of the Pro-Am field, outright contention is expected to be fierce.
Ryan Yardley returns alongside Dave Musial Sr., Trenton Estep teams with Joel Johnson, while Dan Clarke partners with Blake McGovern. International experience is well represented by Dutchman Jeroen Bleekemolen alongside Tim Pappas and Daniel Morad forming an all-Canada pairing with Roberto Tutino.
Additional Pro-Am contenders include a “who’s who” from Porsche Carrera Cup North America race winners, including Yves Baltas with Matt Joffe and Aaron Jeansonne paired with Keith McGovern.
2024 Porsche Sprint Challenge North America by Yokohama champ and Carrera Cup Pro class contender Jared Thomas is running three cars with his JTR Motorsports Engineering squad – winners of the final round of 2025. Thomas himself will co-drive with Chris Hutter.
The Cayman category brings its own compelling storylines. Veteran Andrew Davis joins William Peluchiwski for Kellymoss. Second-generation racer Taylor van Overbeek, son of Porsche IMSA-legend and Rolex 24 winner Johannes van Overbeek, teams with Dan Drohan as the next generation continues to carve its own path within Porsche competition.
The mix of 911 GT3 Cup cars and 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsports create a true multi-class race that will test strategy, traffic management, and consistency – all essentials at the demanding Sebring circuit.
Fans can witness the opening round in person; tickets are available to the public via https://am.ticketmaster.com/sir/buy/USAC.
The Sebring event will also feature the opening round of Porsche Sprint Challenge North America by Yokohama, with track action kicking off with testing from Wednesday, March 4. Official practice kicks off on Thursday, March 5, with separate GT3 Cup and Cayman Sprint Challenge races scheduled for Friday, March 6, and Saturday, March 7.
The Porsche Endurance Challenge North America by Yokohama opening round will take the green at 2:55 pm on Sunday, March 8. All qualifying sessions and the five races will be streamed live on Porsche Motorsport North America’s channels on YouTube, X, Facebook, and Linkedin.
A new chapter began for Porsche Sprint Challenge USA West by Yokohama as the series visited Arizona’s APEX Motor Club for the first time to open the 2026 season.
Located less than an hour from Phoenix, Arizona, APEX hosted four classes of racing on Saturday and Sunday in temperatures that reached 80 degrees, despite varying conditions throughout the country.
Winning overall in both rounds was Brannan Hankins – his first weekend sweep in the series after scoring one win in Sprint Challenge the year prior.
Hankins ran amongst Jordan Darling & David Fabi in the Pro-Am class, both of which made their Porsche Sprint Challenge debut at APEX. Hankins would start from pole and finish first in both races.
In the 992 Masters class, the weekend victories were split between Henry Marshall on Saturday and Laura Ely on Sunday.
After competing in the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport in previous seasons, Marshall emerged unscathed from a Lap 1 Race 1 incident with multiple cars to go on to take the win on his debut race with the striking HM Road Racing #278 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car.
Black Sheep’s Ely made her race-winning pass on Sunday with 20 minutes in the contest over the previous day’s victor.
In the Cayman Masters class, Greg Herback secured his first Sprint Challenge career victories at APEX Motor Club.
Fittingly, during the Olympics weekend, the former downhill ski racer won both races over the weekend, just one year after finishing in second place in the same class standings.
Herback finished ahead of Justin Lewis, another series debutant at APEX Motor Club.
As the singular Cayman Pro-Am competitor, Zach Bradford – also running his first Sprint Challenge season – finished first-in-class on both Saturday and Sunday in his #14 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport.
Running alongside the Porsche Sprint Challenge USA West event on Sunday was the first Porsche GT Track Day of 2026, hosted by Porsche Motorsport North America.
More than 35 guests participated in the exclusive experience, which allowed them to bring their 21 Porsche road cars out for nearly two hours of open lapping on the exclusive APEX Motor Park circuit.
The guests enjoyed full VIP hospitality throughout the day, including paddock tours, a meet and greet with legendary Porsche racer Darren Law, and experienced an unforgettable finale of hot laps in the newly-delivered Porsche 911 Cup car (Type 992.2), and a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car.
Professional racers Andy Lee & Brandon Chappell each piloted the Porsche race cars, delivering thrilling rides that capped off a high-octane day immersed in Porsche motorsport.
While the USA West division returns for its next event at Sonoma Raceway on April 10 – 12, Porsche Sprint Challenge North America by Yokohama starts its season at Sebring International Raceway from March 6 – 8, just before the historic 12 Hours of Sebring weekend.
The Central Florida event also doubles as the start of the 2026 Porsche Endurance Challenge North America by Yokohama season.

The Jared Thomas Porsche story does not begin with a single defining moment. Instead, it has been shaped over decades, from family weekends at the racetrack to engineering classrooms to late nights spent wrenching on cars when there was no other option.
By the time Thomas captured the Porsche Sprint Challenge North America by Yokohama title in 2024, he had already established himself as one of North America’s most accomplished modern one-make racers.
And now – with a line-up of up to five entries for JTR Race Engineering for this year’s Sprint Challenge championship – he is quickly becoming even better known as a team owner.
“It all started when I was probably 14 or 15 years old,” Thomas said.
“I’ve raced something since I was five – karts, pavement late models on circle tracks, cars in SCCA. It was always my hobby growing up with my dad.”
That foundation – built without outside funding – shaped both Thomas’ driving and his technical mindset.
“My dad and I always did all of our own work,” he explained. “We could never really afford to pay anybody else to do it for us, so I had a big knowledge base early on.”
Even as success came, Jared Thomas understood the financial realities of professional motorsport.
“I knew how expensive it was to get to the top levels,” he said. “So while driving was always the passion, I knew I needed another way to stay in the sport long-term.”
That led him to pursue a motorsports engineering degree at Purdue University, where he combined academics with continued racing. A breakthrough arrived during his time competing in Spec Miata, when he earned a nomination to Mazda’s highly competitive shootout scholarship.
“They start with 40 drivers, narrow it to six, and put you head-to-head at the track,” Thomas said. “I was fortunate enough to win that.”
The scholarship launched Thomas into Mazda MX-5 Cup competition in 2020, delaying his post-graduation engineering career in favor of a professional racing opportunity. It also planted the seeds for what would become his own race operation.
“We were doing all of the work ourselves,” Thomas said. “About halfway through the season, I started thinking, why don’t I open this up to customers that want to go racing?”
Using his Rookie of the Year winnings, Jared Thomas bought a trailer, added a customer, and began building a program that blended driving, engineering, and team ownership. The approach paid dividends on track.
Thomas went on to win back-to-back Mazda MX-5 Cup championships in 2022 and 2023, cementing his reputation as one of the most complete drivers in the paddock. Those titles also reinforced his belief in learning every element of the race car from the inside out.
That philosophy carried directly into Porsche competition. When Jared Thomas and his team committed to Porsche racing, the focus was intentional and methodical.
“We wanted to learn the car ourselves from a technical and engineering side,” he said. “So we could transfer that knowledge to everyone under the tent.”
Adapting to the rear-engine Porsche 992.1 Cup car required a reset.
“The biggest step was figuring out the style the car liked,” Thomas explained. “Along with learning the technical adjustments. Everything I’d raced before was front-engine. This was completely different.”
The learning curve was steep, but results followed quickly. In 2024, Thomas claimed the Porsche Sprint Challenge North America by Yokohama championship, adding a third major one-make title to his résumé – and validating the process behind it.
“That was the goal,” he said. “Go show our performance and let that speak for itself. And I think it worked out pretty well.”
Sprint Challenge, Thomas believes, is one of the most effective development environments in North American motorsport.
“It’s perfect for drivers who aren’t quite ready for full professional racing,” he said.
“Porsche Motorsport North America does a great job making new drivers feel comfortable, and the technical and parts support is second to none.”
That support, he emphasized, often determines whether a weekend is saved or lost.
“You could have a $5 part ruin your entire weekend,” Thomas said. “But with Porsche, you walk to the truck, get the part, and you’re back on track. That matters more than people realize.”
The championship also served as the final step before Thomas’ next challenge. In 2025, he made his debut in Porsche Carrera Cup North America, stepping into one of the most competitive single-make championships in the world.
“Sprint Challenge was very important before taking that step,” he said. “Carrera Cup is extremely competitive. Getting the seat time, the experience, and racing against the same guys beforehand gives you a leg up.”
As Thomas’ own driving career has progressed, so too has his perspective on success. Today, victories earned by drivers under the JTR banner carry just as much weight as his own results – sometimes more.
“I found a lot of joy in it,” Thomas said when asked about watching his drivers win. “It just goes to show all the hard work that I’m putting in, as well as the rest of the team, is paying off.”
That sense of pride comes from being deeply involved in every aspect of the operation, far beyond race weekends.
“I’m in the shop every day,” he explained. “I’m working my butt off with every guy on this team, trying to give the best product to our drivers that we can.”
It is a perspective shaped by experience on both sides of the fence – as a driver chasing championships and as an engineer building cars, systems, and people.
“When you’re just one driver to another on a team, they probably don’t feel any gratitude when someone else is successful,” Thomas said. “But I do. A win from another driver on our team feels just as good as a win for me.”
That mindset is central to JTR’s approach as the program continues to expand in Porsche competition. The team is targeting six total entries this season across its Sprint Challenge efforts – a milestone that reflects both competitive ambition and operational maturity.
Rather than rapid expansion for its own sake, Jared Thomas is focused on controlled growth, ensuring each entry receives the same level of preparation and support that defined his own championship runs.
“It all ties back to the same philosophy,” Thomas said earlier. “Learn the car, learn the process, and make sure we’re giving everyone the best opportunity to succeed.”
