The Racers Group Announces The 2020 Pirelli GT4 America 3 Car Campaign - Speedway Digest

The Racers Group enthusiastically returns to racing after a 4-month hiatus at Virginia International Raceway this weekend. With just one race at COTA in the rearview mirror, team TRG cannot wait to have the rubber hit the road in Sprint and SprintX competition. As an added bonus, our drivers will get a chance to prove themselves and in make-up races for Sprint in St. Petersburg and SprintX in Long Beach.

POINT BREAK

TRG driver, Spencer Pumpelly, comes into VIR having finished second and fourth at COTA, and currently tied for 3rd place.[Watch COTA SPRINT race here] At the wheel of TRG’s #66 TRG /Lasalle Solutions Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport, he will have an opportunity to sweeten his point standings on Sunday afternoon in the St. Petersburg Race 1 Makeup.
