November 4th, 2024 – Congratulations to Jesse Lyon for winning the first race of the 2025 Porsche Cup iRTES Support series at Road America. The series kicked off it’s first race of a six race season for the 5th consecutive season with a chilly fall day at the Iconic Road America circuit in Elkhart Lake, WI.
A twenty four car field would grid up for the race, with Afonso Souto taking pole position. Souto, after winning a race last season looked to build upon success in prior races and would look strong throughout the race. He would lead 12 of the 14 laps before having a DQ for exceeding incident limits late in the race while battling with hard pressure from Jesse Lyon for the win. The two cars separated by less than a second for most of the race.
Michael Parker, 2023 series Champion would finish in P2 behind Lyon who took the win capitalizing on the late race drop out from Souto. Marc Nistor, a Porsche Specialist from the PCA Simracing league would round out the podium. Last years’s champion Chad Henson would finish in P6 in the first race of the season.
