Racing in both the Mazda MX-5 Cup and Porsche Sprint Challenge has made 2024 an exceptional year for my career development. Leading the MX-5 Cup championship into the latter half of the season showed strong pace, though mechanical issues and an unfortunate incident at VIR ultimately affected our title chances in a five-way battle for the championship.

This year marked a full commitment to motorsport, focusing entirely on professional racing and driver coaching. A particular highlight was serving as race director for the Turn 2 Club's MX-5 Cup Series, where I helped develop numerous drivers into competitive racers.

My transition into Porsche competition proved immediately successful. At Road America, driving the 992 GT3 Cup car, I secured multiple podiums in Sprint Challenge races and claimed pole position in the Endurance race with Elliott Skeer. At Sonoma, I crossed the finish line first in both Sprint Challenge races and the Endurance race as a solo driver, though one sprint victory was later withdrawn due to a restart zone violation.

Looking ahead, I'll be joining the JTR team for the final round of the Porsche Endurance Challenge North America at Circuit of The Americas, aiming to help secure their championship. These recent successes in Porsche competition have opened new opportunities within their racing community, setting an exciting trajectory for my future in motorsport.

The past few months have accelerated my development beyond expectations, and I'm eager to continue this momentum into the next chapter of my racing career.
