Pirelli World Challenge: Four Audi R8 LMS ultras ready for Miller Motorsports Park


By Tarek Ramchani

The Pirelli World Challenge is moving to the beautiful and challenging Miller Motorsports Park in Utah this weekend. The Audi Sport customer racing squad will be represented by a total of four Audi R8 LMS ultra cars representing three different teams.

Two Audi R8 LMS ultras will compete in the upper GT division. Mike Skeen will be once again behind the wheel of the #2 Audi R8 LMS ultra. The CRP Racing driver faced a frustrating Mid-Ohio round last time out and will try to challenge for the top spots in Utah.


GMG Racing team owner James Sofronas will drive the #14 Audi R8 LMS ultra. James Sofronas is having an unlucky season in Pirelli World Challenge, the 2013 series' runner-up will try to bounce back and collect big points.

As it is the case in GT, two Audis will enter the GTA class. Drew Regitz will drive the #19 Audi R8 LMS ultra from Stephen Cameron Racing. Brent Holden will drive the #44 Audi R8 LMS ultra from GMG Racing.

Pirelli World Challenge: Audi teams at St. Petersburg and race 1 podium for Skeen and CRP Racing


By Johan Laubscher

The Pirelli World Challenge moved to the streets of St. Petersburg for rounds three and four of the 2015 season. Six Audi R8 LMS ultra cars were entered by five different teams this weekend.

GMG Racing arrived with two Audi R8 LMS ultra entries: James Sofronas (#14 Audi – GT) and Brent Holden (#44 Audi – GTA). CRP Racing fielded its #2 Audi R8 LMS ultra with Mike Skeen (GT), Stephen Cameron Racing with the #19 Audi R8 LMS ultra of Drew Regitz (GTA), M1 Racing with the #23 Audi R8 LMS ultra bring driven by Walt Bowlin, and JCR Motorsports with the #99 Audi R8 LMS ultra of Jeff Courtney.


It was a wet qualifying session which was dominated by Ryan Eversly and his four-wheel-drive Acura. Mike Skeen was the highest placed Audi during qualifying, despite not getting a clear lap, he was able to qualify seventh. James Sofronas qualified twentieth, ahead of Drew Regitz in twenty-seventh, Jeff Courtney in twenty-eighth and Walt Bowlin in thirty-second.


Race one was held on a sunny Saturday and Ryan Eversly won from pole position, defending from Ryan Dalziel in his Porsche. The start of the race unfortunately saw Drew Regitz involved in an incident with stalled vehicles on the front straight, ending his and a number of competitors’ race. Mike Skeen had a good start and continued to move up through the field, ultimately finishing third under caution.

James Sofronas also moved forward during the race and finished thirteenth. Jeff Courtney progressed up to twenty-first finishing position, followed by Walt Bowlin in twenty-seventh. Brent Holden did not start the race.


The second and final race was held on Sunday. Mike Skeen was the highest Audi on the grid. The first lap saw a number of different incidents which resulted in a caution period that lasted for over half of the race duration. Unfortunately the #23 Audi R8 LMS ultra of Walt Bowlin was involved in one of the opening lap incidents and retired with damage, luckily Bowlin was unharmed.

A twenty-minute sprint began when the race went green. Mike Skeen moved up to fourth place and held that position until he was passed by Ryan Dalziel and spun around by Davison in the Nissan.

James Sofronas finished as the highest placed Audi in eighth, ahead of Jeff Courtney in nineteenth, Skeen in twenty-eighth and Drew Regitz in thirty-second.

The weekend’s results can be seen HERE.


The Pirelli World Challenge will now be heading to Long Beach from 17-19 April.

Pirelli World Challenge: iRacerCoaching.com to Sponsor Drew Regitz in the Pirelli World Challenge


Stephen Cameron Racing Press Release

February 27th, 2015 - Sonoma, CA  Having started his professional racing career only a year after turning his first laps in a racecar, Stephen Cameron Racing driver, Drew Regitz, turned quite a few heads in the Pirelli World Challenge (PWC) paddock after testing the waters in 2013. In 2014, Regitz campaigned a full season in the PWC GTS class, successfully scoring top tens and podium finishes in what was only his second year in motorsports.

For 2015, Regitz will continue his meteoric rise through the professional sportscar ranks by stepping up to the hotly contested PWC GT-A class. The Denver, CO, resident routinely sites extensive driver coaching and an extensive routine of online driving simulator training for his rapid progression behind the wheel. His on-track success has made Regitz a staunch advocate of young and aspiring drivers utilizing advances in online racing and gaming technology in combination with hands-on driver coaching.


Regitz launched iRacerCoaching.com in late 2014 to help novice and seasoned racers alike gain access to professional driver coaching services from the comfort of their own home. Utilizing state-of-the-art driving simulator hardware and software iRacerCoaching.com clients can sign up to be paired with world class championship caliber drivers and coaches such as former F1 and professional IndyCar driver Justin Wilson, professional Indy 500 and Aston Martin /NISMO driver James Davison, sportscar aces Brandon Davis and Kris Wilson, and veteran IndyCar and IMSA driver coach Barry Waddell.

“It’s no mystery that genuine on track seat time is expensive, so it is important to be able to maximize every second that you are on the track,” Regitz explained. “For a fraction of the cost, iRacerCoaching.com will partner you with professional drivers that can give you lap-by-lap feedback online as you train at home on your driving simulator or gaming wheel.”


“I didn’t start driving racecars until 2012, and now a mere three years later I am set to compete in one of the world’s most competitive GT series, and I absolutely could not have made that progression in such a short amount of time without the help of coaches like Barry Waddell, Justin Wilson, and my driving simulator at home. Their instruction and my extensive sessions online are a critical component of my preparation, which is why I am so passionate about combining the powers of professional coaching with online driving simulators.”

“I’m looking forward to seeing iRacerCoaching.com on my car this year, and working with Stephen Cameron Racing to campaign for the GT-A Championship.”

After thirty years of running his professional motorsports team in a variety of series, Stephen Cameron is used to adjusting his business to new technologies.


“Drew’s path to top tier motorsports is as atypical as it gets,” Cameron exclaimed. “It would have been exceedingly more difficult for him to have made the jump from absolute beginner to a professional driver in such a short timeframe even just ten years ago.”

“With a greater emphasis on data acquisition and engineering, driver coaching, and online simulators that rival real world experiences, the learning curve has been profoundly shortened,” Cameron continued. “Services like iRacerCoaching.com will take this to the next level by pairing household named drivers with anyone seeking to improve their performance.”

“You never know, with these new tools taking three years to reach the GT-A class might one day seem like an eternity. I for one am looking forward to helping Drew maximize his potential this year and to help him earn even more accomplishments in his short but already impressive resume.”
