ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., (March 4, 2023) – The 2023 GT America Powered by AWS championship began this weekend in St. Petersburg, Florida, and Flying Lizard Motorsports closed out rounds one and two with driver Jason Bell and his Aston Martin Vantage GT4 earning one win and a second podium finish. Andy Wilzoch made his circuit debut in his No. 460 Porsche 911 GT3 R (type 911.2), earning a hard-fought seventh-place finish.
The weekend hosted two 40-minute sprint races on the temporary street course, racing under perfect spring Florida weather for the two-day event. Running in support of the NTT IndyCar Series, the GT America competitors thrilled the downtown St. Petersburg crowds, putting on a great show for the fans.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better start to the 2023 season in the GT4 class,” said Program Manager Darren Law. “Jason Bell had a great drive qualifying on the front row for both races, leading both races, and finishing in third and first positions. Andy had a solid run in the first race with a seventh-place finish. Unfortunately, the second race didn’t go as planned but we are looking forward to going to our home event at Sonoma. It was a great start to the season and we collected solid points toward the championship. We are looking forward to rounds three and four in a few weeks.”
