Success and resilience marked the 50th Grand Prix of Long Beach for GMG Racing, as Kyle Washington delivered two impressive second-place finishes in the SRO GT America series. At the helm of the No. 32 Porsche 911 GT3 R, Washington showcased exceptional skill and consistency over the weekend's dual 40-minute races. These results not only highlighted his personal best achievements but also extended his streak of four consecutive podium finishes this season.
The team's momentum carried over from earlier victories in various racing circuits. Washington’s recent triumphs include back-to-back wins in both the GT America and USAC Porsche Sprint Challenge USA West series at Sonoma Raceway last month. Additionally, he secured a Bronze-class victory in an IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge sprint race at Daytona International Speedway earlier this year. Despite facing challenges, Washington remained steadfast, representing GMG Racing admirably against formidable competition.
Team camaraderie and perseverance were evident throughout the weekend. While Washington celebrated his podium finishes, teammates Patrick Mulcahy, CJ Moses, and James Sofronas encountered difficulties that tested their resolve. Mulcahy rebounded from Saturday's mechanical issues to secure seventh place in Sunday's GT3 class, demonstrating grit and determination. Meanwhile, Moses achieved a commendable second-place finish in the GT2 division after overcoming technical setbacks, proving the team's ability to adapt under pressure.
Racing embodies the spirit of relentless pursuit and learning from setbacks. The performances at Long Beach underscored the importance of teamwork and dedication in achieving excellence. As GMG Racing moves forward to the next round at Circuit of The Americas, the team remains committed to pushing boundaries and inspiring future generations of racers. Their journey exemplifies how passion combined with perseverance can lead to remarkable accomplishments on and off the track.
