The series, produced by Mechanical Rabbit Productions, captures Dempsey and teammate Patrick Long competing in their No.98 Wright Motorsports Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport. The season journey spans from COTA to Road America and Sonoma, concluding with a six-hour endurance race back at COTA.

Dempsey brings significant racing experience, including a second-place finish in the 2015 Le Mans GTE Am class and third in the 2011 Rolex 24 at Daytona GT class. His teammate Long, a Porsche ambassador, boasts victories at prestigious events including the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Rolex 24 at Daytona, and 12 Hours of Sebring.

The docuseries also features drift and rallycross champion Tanner Foust making his sports car racing debut.

Episodes 1 and 2 are currently available, with episodes 3 and 4 releasing on Hagerty's YouTube channel and Samsung TV+ channels (US: 2545, Canada: 1195) on November 25 and December 5, respectively.

"This has been an exciting project to work on," says Dempsey. "I have really enjoyed reuniting with Patrick Long. We've had a great season and hope to finish strong in Austin."
