TheFlying Lizard Motorsports group is amotorsport team fromSonoma, California, formed bySeth Neiman in early 2003. The team competed in the fullAmerican Le Mans Series season, as well as the24 Hours of Daytona, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The team went on to win six driver and team championships in the American Le Mans Series, becoming a Porsche factory team and Porsche Motorsport North America's development partner from 2007 to 2012.[1] The team helped develop the first- and second-generation 997 GT3 RSR as well as bring it to victory several times in its six-year run in the series. The team solely raced Porsche cars from 2004 to 2019, becoming a staple in the Porsche racing community.

After ten years of ownership, Seth Neiman sold the team during the 2014 offseason to longtime Crew Chief Tommy Sadler, Chief Strategist Thomas Blam, and current Lizard driver Dylan Breen. Sadler stepped up to become Technical Director, Blam became Team Manager and Law Program Manager.[2] No longer factory-backed or privately funded, the team became a customer racing effort, expanding to a variety of series and manufacturers.

To date, the team holds 14 professional team and driver championship titles as Flying Lizard Motorsport, four additional team and two driver titles managingK-PAX Racing inGT World Challenge America, and one team and one driver title managing TKO Motorsports.

Beginnings (2004-06)

[edit]

The2004 American Le Mans Series season saw Flying Lizard Motorsports and driversDarren Law andJohannes van Overbeek finish 2nd in the GT2 team and drivers championship.[3][4]

In 2005, the team finished 3rd in the ALMS GT2 Team Championship with driversJohannes van Overbeek andJon Fogarty finishing 5th in the GT2 drivers championship.[5][6]

In 2006, the team finished 3rd in the GT2 team championship and driverJohannes van Overbeek finished 2nd in the drivers championship while his teammate,Wolf Henzler finished 4th.[7][8]

ALMS Porsche Factory Support (2007-12)

[edit]

For the 2007 season, the team took delivery of two brand new 997 Porsche 911 GT3 RSRs. Team also became Porsche Motorsport North America's development partner and received factory support from Porsche.[citation needed] DriversJohannes van Overbeek andJörg Bergmeister and the new addition ofMarc Lieb shared duties of driving the #45 car, whileDarren Law,Seth Neiman, and Lonnie Pechnik shared the #44 car. After the #45 car won three times in 2007, including the prestigiousPetit Le Mans,[9] the team would finish second in the team standings to theRisi Competizione team.[10] Drivers Jörg Bermeister and Johannes van Overbeek would also finish second in the series driver standings.[11]

For the 2008 season, the Flying Lizard team continued on in its fifth consecutive season in the GT2 class of the American Le Mans series. For this season, the team expanded into a three car operation with three Porsche 2008 911 GT3 RSRs. In the #45 car, previous season driver Jorg Bergmeister was joined by Wolf Henzler for the full season of competition with third driver Marc Lieb. Johannes van Overbeek and the new addition of Patrick Pilet piloted the team's #46 entry full-time with guest driver Richard Lietz. In the #44 entry,Darren Law and Seth Neiman with guest driver Alex Davison piloted the car. The #45 car of Bergmeister and Henzler was in tight contention with the Tafel Racing squad ofDominik Farnbacher and Dirk Müller, and at the end of the season emerged the overall points winners, giving Flying Lizard Motorsports their first-ever GT2 class championship.[12]

For 2009, Flying Lizard Motorsports back moved to a two-car squad with the returning GT2 class champion #45 car being piloted byJörg Bergmeister andPatrick Long for the majority of the races withMarc Lieb as the reserve third driver for longer races. The #44 car will be piloted bySeth Neiman andDarren Law for the majority of the races withJohannes van Overbeek as the reserve driver. After coming in 4th at the season opener at Sebring[13] with a heavily damaged car, the #45 team took the class win in the following 5 races. At the following two races at Road America and Mosport they faced much tougher competition with a greatly improvedRahal Letterman Racing BMW team and a new Corvette Racing team. The #45 managed 3rd at Mosport and 4th at Road America but came back to claim first place in GT2 at the season finale in Monterey, California. Winning 6 out of 10 races, the #45 car won the GT2 team championship giving the team its second consecutive championship win.[14]Jörg Bergmeister andPatrick Long also won the GT2 drivers championship.[15]

For 2010, Flying Lizard Motorsports continued running two cars. The two-time GT2 championship-winning #45 car, driven byJörg Bergmeister andPatrick Long withMarc Lieb as the reserve third driver, competed alongside its sister car, the #44, driven bySeth Neiman andDarren Law withRichard Lietz as the reserve third driver. The Lizards faced fierce competition fromRahal Letterman Lanigan Racing andRisi Competizione. After finishing 4th at the12 hours of Sebring,[16] the #45 car went on to take first place in its class at Long Beach, Laguna Seca, Lime Rock Park and Mosport. The Lizards placed second in the Team Championship[17] and first in the Drivers Championship[18] thanks toJörg Bergmeister andPatrick Long. This gave Flying Lizard Motorsports and Bergmeister three consecutive Driver Championship titles.

For the 2011 season the team utilized the brand new second-generation 997 GT3 RSR. Both the #44 and #45 car were piloted by the same team as the year before, with the exception ofMarco Holzer replacingRichard Lietz as reserve third driver in the #45 car. After finishing second in GT2 Championship the year before,Rahal Letterman Racing came back to fight even harder against the Flying Lizard Motorsports group. The #45 car managed a 2nd in class at Lime Rock,[19] 1st in class at Laguna Seca[20] and a 2nd in class finish atPetit Le Mans.[21] The team managed a 3rd-place finish in the GT Season Championship[22] whileJörg Bergmeister andPatrick Long finished 4th in the GT Drivers' Championship.[23]

In 2012 the team took delivery of two brand new second-generation GT3 RSRs. This year's car has a front and rear track that has been widened by 1.9 inches[24] allowing for much wider tires giving more grip. The Flying Lizard Motorsports team struggled to find speed and consistency with the new car. The #45 car managed a win atLime Rock Park after a fierce battle withCorvette Racing andExtreme Speed Motorsports. The team also managed a win atMosport but was disqualified after failing a stall test at the end of the race.[25] The team finished 4th in the GT championship[26] withJörg Bergmeister andPatrick Long finishing 5th in the Drivers Championship points.[27]

2013 (ALMS Porsche GTC)

[edit]

With the development of the 997 GT3 RSR ending, the team's relationship with Porsche Motorsport North America was discontinued. On November 15, 2012, Flying Lizard Motorsports announced that they would transition to competing in the GT Challenge category.[28] The team fielded a two-car team for what would be the final season of theAmerican Le Mans Series before it merged with theRolex Sports Car Series to form theTudorUnited SportsCar Championship in 2014. With the team winning four races of the ten-round season, including a victory at the season finale,Petit Le Mans, drivers of the #45 car,Spencer Pumpelly and Nelson Canache Jr, would finish second in the GTC drivers' championship behind theAlex Job Racing'sJeroen Bleekemolen andCooper MacNeil and the team would claim its third ALMS Teams' Championship and their first in the GTC class.[29][30]

[edit]

After competing withPorsches since its inception, the Flying Lizard team announced on November 11, 2013 that it would partner withAudi Sport Customer Racing to campaign a two carAudi R8 LMS effort in the newly formedTudorUnited SportsCar Championship GT Daytona Class.[31]Seth Neiman andDion von Moltke would team in the #35 car Nelson Canache Jr. andSpencer Pumpelly sharing the #45 car. The season began with a last lap battle at the24 Hours of Daytona, resulting in the first-place finishing car to receive a penalty for intent for avoidable contact, awarding Flying Lizard as the winners.[32] Five hours later, the penalty was revoked, moving the Lizard squad to second place. The team finished out the season with four top-five finishes.

For 2015, the team announced they would run a partial season in United SportsCar, in addition to running a full season inPirelli World Challenge and Porsche Cup of America. The team ran five races with the Audi R8 LMS throughout the season: the 24 Hours of Daytona, the 12 Hours of Sebring, the Monterey Grand Prix, Lone Star Le Mans and Petit Le Mans.[33] The 2015 drivers included:Tomonobu Fujii, Satoshi Hoshino, Robert Thorne, GermanMarkus Winkelhock,Colin Thompson,Marco Holzer,Guy Cosmo, Patrick Byrne, Mike Vess and Jason Hart. The team's highlight of the season included a top-5 finish at Petit Le Mans, which was canceled with only 7 hours and 51 minutes of the 10-hour race completed.[34]

Pirelli World Challenge (since 2015)

[edit]

GT: K-PAX Racing (since 2015)

[edit]
K-PAX Racing with Flying Lizard Motorsports McLaren 650S GT3 of Robert Thorne

Flying Lizard partnered with championship winning team K-PAX Racing in 2015 to enter two McLaren 650S GT3s for a full season in the Pirelli World Challenge GT championship.[35] With McLaren GT factory driver Kevin Estre and K-PAX veteran Robert Thorne, the unified effort had a successful first season, earning four wins and 8 podiums.[36] Estre proved to be a front runner, winning Round 2 at Circuit of the Americas by over 30 seconds in torrential downpour, establishing himself early as a championship contender.[37]

Flying Lizard returned to manage the K-PAX program, solely under the K-PAX Racing banner, in 2016 with Alvaro Parente, Austin Cindric, and Colin Thompson, racing three McLarens. Parente clinched the driver championship, while young Austin Cindric earned three podiums and three pole positions. In all, the full-season program clinched the team, driver (Alvaro Parente), and manufacturer (McLaren GT) championships, with 16 top five finishes, 12 podiums, seven pole positions, and six wins.[38] The team closed out the season with a return to endurance racing, a first for K-PAX Racing, running the 12 Hours of Sepang with Shane van Gisbergen, Côme Ledogar, and Álvaro Parente. The #9 650S GT3 finished tenth overall, seventh in class.

The championship-winning duo returned again in 2017 under the K-PAX Racing banner, with returning champion Alvaro Parente being joined by full-season entry Bryan Sellers and partial season entrant Mike Hedlund. The GT championship also introduced a new SprintX format, where two drivers would share a car for an allotment of races. Ben Barnicoat joined Parente in the No. 9 McLaren, and Jonny Kane raced with Sellers for the first few races. Michael Lewis joined Mike Hedlund, but then switched to the car of Sellers after Hedlund pulled out of the championship. The team finished runner up in the Sprint championship, earning a total of five wins and ten podiums.[39]

For 2018, the operation switched manufacturers, dropping McLaren for Bentley.[40] The Pirelli World Challenge championship was comprised 10 events, five of which two-driver SprintX races. Parente returned for a third year, joined by Flying Lizard alumni Rodrigo Baptista. The pair were joined by Bentley works team drivers Andy Soucek and Maxime Soulet for the SprintX Races.[41] The team celebrated ten victories, rebounding from heavy crashes at St. Petersburg and VIRginia International Raceway early in the season.[42]

The partnership continued in 2019, as the series changed from the Pirelli World Challenge to the SRO America-led Blancpain GT World Challenge America. The series format changed to two 90-minute races each weekend, with two drivers per car. Alvaro Parente and Any Soucek returned as co-drivers, and Rodrigo Baptista raced alongside Maxime Soulet. Together, the Bentley squad earned six wins and 23 podiums, clinching the team championship and finishing in second and third in the driver standings.

In 2020, the team only completed one race in the GT World Challenge America championship, entering Patrick Byrne and Guy Cosmo in a one-off at the Circuit of the Americas doubleheader. The team also expanded their footprint to race overseas in the GT World Challenge Europe championship, entering two Bentleys into the competition with drivers Alvaro Parente, Andy Soucek, Jordan Pepper, Rodrigo Baptista, Maxime Soulet, Jules Gounon, and Alex Buncombe. The best finish of the season was a sixth in class.

The program switched up for 2021, coming back to the United States to race a pair of Lamborghini Huracan GT3 cars with Andrea Caldarelli, Jordan Pepper, Corey Lewis, and Giovanni Venturini. With only one DNF, the program swept the championships, finishing first and second in the driver categories, and taking the 2021 pro team title before the season finale.[43]

GT America/GT4 America: Flying Lizard Motorsports (since 2016)

[edit]

In 2016, the Lizard group began its own customer racing program in World Challenge, fielding entries at Road America, Sonoma Raceway, and Laguna Seca with Andy Wilzoch and Mike Hedlund.[44] Helund earned two third-place finishes in both of his Sonoma Raceway races, and Wilzoch also earned a double podium at Road America. Program Manager Darren Law joined Wilzoch at Laguna Seca for the first SprintX doubleheader, and the pair finished ninth and fourth.[45]

The following season, the program expanded, fielding a pair of Flying LizardPorsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport MR for Brazilian Rodrigo Baptista and Nate Stacy.[46] Baptista proved to be one of the breakout rookies of the season, earning four wins, including a sweep at Lime Rock Park, a track the Lizard program always showed success at. Together, the pair earned ten podiums and 17 top-five finishes.

World Challenge introduced the SprintX Championship to the GTS class in 2018, allowing AM drivers to have a co-driver for each doubleheader race weekend. Mike Hedlund returned to Flying Lizard to race his Audi R8 LMS GT4 solo, while Adam Merzon and Ryan Eversley shared the driving duties for the No. 23 Audi R8 LMS.[47] Hedlund earned six podiums during the season and one win at the Watkins Glen season finale. Merzon and Eversley clinched their first pole position as a pair at Lime Rock Park.

New racer Michael Dinan joined Flying Lizard Motorsports for the 2019 season in the series, rebranded as GT4 America under the SRO Motorsports banner. Racing the new Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport, Dinan signed up for both the Sprint and SprintX championships for a total of 31 races, bringing IMSA racerRobby Foley as his co-driver for the SX events.[48] The new series got off to a rough start for the American racer, who was sidelined for three events following an incident at VIRginia International Raceway.[49] Things turned around in the second half of the season, and Dinan with Foley earned seven top-five finishes and a podium finish before year's end.

Flying Lizard remained in the GT4 America Sprint and SprintX championship for 2022, running a pair of Aston Martin Vantage GT4 cars with returning drivers Dinan and Foley, with Erin Vogel andMichael Cooper running a McLaren 570S GT4 in the SprintX series. The COVID-19 pandemic arrived as the series began the season at Circuit of the Americas in March, and the previously-announced schedule changed as all events were postponed until July. Each series then moved from a standard double-header format to triple headers for four of the five remaining events. While the McLaren failed to be a competitive machine for the majority of the season, Dinan's Sprint and his SprintX effort with Robby Foley showed strong success from the previous season, earning 21 podiums and 17 victories. Flying Lizard also celebrated their 100th podium at the season opener, following three podiums earned in the weekend.[50]

With the newly formed GT America series in the SRO America offerings, Flying Lizard entered two cars into partial seasons in 2021. Longtime customer Andy Wilzoch raced a Porsche 911 GT3 R, earning four wins and eight podiums in twelve races in the Masters class. Partnering with TKO Motorsports with their Bentley Continental GT3, the team ran a second effort withMemo Gidley in the SRO3 class, earning two wins and an additional three podiums.

The 2022 season saw Elias Sabo join the team, bringing with him a pair of Aston Martin Vantage GT4 cars. He entered into a full season in GT4 America, racing with co-driver Andy Lee in the 60-minute sprint races, then ran solo in the GT America series, in the GT4 class. In GT4 America, he and Lee finished in third place, with one win and eight podiums.

Sabo returned for a second season in 2023, again running in GT4 America with Andy Lee, and then in the bronze-only, single-driver sprint series, GT America. Jason Bell joined the program, racing the full season in GT America, then also running select GT4 races with Michael Cooper, running an Aston Martin Vantage GT4. Flying Lizard Motorsports earned five wins and 21 podium finishes in GT America, claiming the team and driver championship titles. In GT4 America, the team swept the championship title as well, with three wins and seven top-five finishes.

Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America (since 2022)

[edit]

Flying Lizard Motorsport returned to the IMSA sphere in 2022, joining the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America series, a single-make championship running in support of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. The team started the year with a three-car entry, with Slade Stewart (LB Cup), Tom Tait (Am), and Brett Jacobson and Joel Miller (Pro/Am). Slade Stewart's pink unicorn Lamborghini named "Sparklefarts" won Stewart the driver title, while the team celebrated four wins and eight podium finishes.

The following season, the team expanded to four cars, with Stewart returning to race with Andy Lee in the Pro/Am class, Tom Tait in the Am class, joined by Chris Bellomo and former Lizard driver Johannes van Overbeek in one Pro/Am entry, and Paul Nemschoff and Marc Miller rounding out the group.
