The Skip Barber Race Team will bring five cars, across three different classes, in two different series as we descend on Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin and Road America. The team’s largest presence will be in TC America powered by the Skip Barber Racing School where we’ll field four cars with two apiece in TCA and TC.
TC America powered by the Skip Barber Racing School
Celso Neto - #7 Honda Civic Type-R – TC Neto, from Brazil, enters this weekend second in the championship after a strong start to the season that has seen him score six straight podium finishes. He’s been knocking on the door of his first win of the season and with how Neto has been driving, this weekend could be the one that provides him with that win.
Jeremiah Burton - #34 Honda Civic Type-R – TC Jeremiah Burton of Donut Media, joined the team at Circuit of the Americas and has impressed ever since. Burton recently chronicled his first experience of stepping into a race car on Donut Media’s YouTube channel which you can
watch here. He scored a top five finish in only his second professional race and later in the year at VIRginia International Raceway, he set a career-best finish of fourth. With the constant improvements Burton has been showing, a podium finish is well within his reach.
Cooper Broll - #19 Honda Civic Si FE1 – TCA In just his first season of professional racing, Broll has been clicking off strong finishes, especially later in the summer. He has two top five finishes in his last three races including a season-best result of fourth at Circuit of the Americas. Broll’s path to racing was anything but ordinary as it started on the ski slopes. Broll began in ski racing at the age of eight, but his life took a turn when a simple bite from a tick led to Lyme disease. Broll made a full recovery and will carry Lyme and Associated Diseases Society as a sponsor on his car all season.
William Lambros - #77 Honda Civic Si FE1 – TCA With five podiums, including one win this season, Lambors is running third in the points standings putting him firmly in the championship conversation. Before a difficult race in Round 8 at VIRginia International Raceway, Lambros had not finished off the podium since the second round of the season in April. Hungrier than ever, Lambros will certainly be a factor throughout the weekend. Race 1 for TC America powered by the Skip Barber Racing School, is scheduled for 12:20pm ET on Saturday while Race 2 is set for Sunday at 10:50am ET.
GT4 America
Carter Fartuch & Matt Forbush – #37 Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO Fartuch will switch from coach to driver this weekend at Road America. He spent last weekend as a driver coach for our Skip Barber Race Series. Carter will be joined by Matt Forbush, who continues to improve each week, in his first season with the Skip Barber Racing Team. “The team at Skip Barber is really looking forward to Road America and to get the second half of the season started strong,” Fartuch said. “We collectively feel very optimistic about this weekend after the hard work and dedication by the entire team. Matt and I are ready to get the Skip Barber Racing School Supra back on the podium again..” Race 1 of the weekend for Fartuch and Forbush is scheduled for 6pm ET on Saturday while Race 2 is slated for 11:55am ET on Sunday.
