Sebring SMX
Just like the past few years, Mateo opened the race season at Sebring with the SCCA Super Tour. Unlike the last 3 years, he was not driving the Formula F, but in a Spec MX-5. New car, new team (sort of), TKG Motorsports and new challenges. As seems to be the case for Sebring we…
2024 in Review
As 2024 comes to a close, it’s a great time to reflect on the year. It was a special racing season. Mateo’s second year racing cars and specifically Formula F/F1600 gave him an opportunity to build on what he learned in year 1. From the first Hoosier Super Tour race at Sebring, it was clear…
SCCA Runoffs 2024 Formula F
Mateo’s final race of 2024 was back to Road America for the SCCA Runoffs. It was his first time at the event which is known for being a long one. Mateo did “Runoffs-lite” by forgoing the 3 days of practice and even the first of 3 days of qualifying. Had he started qualifying on Day…
Summit Point – FRP
Summit Point was a race weekend that made you appreciate how special the season really was and thankful that the championship was wrapped up even before the first race of the weekend. It was a weekend to celebrate a job well done by Mateo and Team Pelfrey all season long. Mateo started Race 1 in…
FRP Pittsburg
Perfect! What a weekend. Round 4 on the FRP schedule marked the midpoint of the season and a return to the track Mateo scored his first win last year. This would be the third FRP race weekend at Pitt for Mateo and his experience showed. It was a weekend sweep with Mateo being fastest in…
Lime Rock – FRP
Lime Rock Park hosted the TransAm, SVRA, FRP Memorial Day weekend of racing. The park is a beautiful setting for racing but is truly in the middle of nowhere. A 16-hour drive from Peoria or flying to Albany and driving an hour and a half. Then due to local restrictions there is no racing on…
Road Atlanta, Part 2 – FRP
The opening round of the Formula Race Promotions season is in the books. Qualifying Friday afternoon was wet after several dry practice sessions. Mateo proved to be quick in both wet and dry conditions, putting the Team Pelfrey #80 into P2, just 0.062 seconds off the pole without the benefit of the draft. Race 1…
Road Atlanta Part 1
The second race weekend of 2024 is the first of two trips to Road Atlanta in March. The SCCA Hoosier Super Tour event is a great opportunity to shake off the off-season and get some seat time before the opening weekend of the FRP series. As usual, the March weather in Atlanta was all over…
2023 SCCA Hoosier Super Tour
I received official notification this week that confirmed I am the Hoosier Super Tour Champion for the FF class! Ironically, going into the season, we had no idea that this was even something I would be in the running for. When looking at the season, 3 races on the SCCA calendar stood out. Sebring was…
SCCA Mid Ohio
My first trip to Mid-Ohio back in April for the FRP races was a pretty miserable one. It was cold and wet most of the weekend. Practice and qualifying were in the pouring rain, while the sun came out for race 1. On Sunday for race 2 it was wet again and then race 3…
