PETALUMA, CA (June 1, 2016): This weekend, TRG Porsche drivers Craig Lyons and Patrice Gautier will welcome racer Greg Milzcik in Rounds 7 and 8 of the Pirelli GT3 Cup Trophy USA at Laguna Seca Raceway. The beautiful Monterey-area track, with its legendary Corkscrew turn, will once again host the single-make Porsche series under the direction of Competent Motorsport. All three TRG drivers will compete in the Silver class with Cayman GT4 Clubsport cars.
Milzcik’s passions led him to success both in the air and on the ground: after he excelled in a rewarding career as an aerospace industry executive, the undeniable thrill of motorsport led him to the track. His enthusiasm for cars soon turned to racing experience behind the wheel of the TRG-Aston Martin Racing V8 Vantage. Milzcik’s rookie year with TRG-AMR saw him score a second place series finish in the single-make GT4 Challenge North America, which was then topped by his successful race in the 2015 Aston Martin Festival in Le Mans, France. This Saturday and Sunday’s doubleheader events will mark his first time racing the No. 77 Wolfwood Refuge/That Newfoundland Place Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport at Laguna Seca.
Lyons returns to the track to improve upon his recent personal bests and to continue with his strong driver development program as he progresses through his rookie season. His athletic background and perseverance equates to on-track improvement and developing race-craft with his No. 3 Stor-It Self Storage/Mobettah Collectible Cars Porsche. Every race offers him an opportunity to master the nuances of club racing on some of the most famous tracks in North America, all the while supported by the experienced TRG race and engineering crew.
Gautier’s skillful precision with his Cayman GT4 Clubsport on the track makes him a formidable contender in the Silver class. Pirelli GT3 Cup Trophy points are accumulating for this tech industry engineer, and he shows no signs of slowing down. He’ll once again compete with the No. 66 Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport in both Saturday and Sunday’s 40- and 45-minute races.
