Team earns 13th championship title, ends season with race win

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., (October 12, 20926) – Another season is complete for Flying Lizard Motorsports, and the team celebrated the finale event at Indianapolis Motor Speedway as champions in GT America Powered by AWS with Colorado Motorsports and Craig Lumsden. The team also debuted their new partnership with LLH Motorsports, dominating race one to bring the new group their first win in McLaren Trophy America.

“What a way to close out the season,” said Flying Lizard Team Principal Darren Law. “Looking back on 2026, I couldn’t be prouder of what this team accomplished. We had a full plate this year in multiple series and classes, and our crew rose to the challenge every weekend. Our results this season are a testament to the hard work of the drivers and the effort the crew put in behind the scenes. None of this happens without our drivers, crew, partners and supporters, and I want to thank each of them for their commitment this year.”

GT America Powered by AWS
Criag Lumsden wrapped up his debut season in GT4 racing on Saturday, racing the No. 413 Colorado Motorsports BMW with Flying Lizard to the final GT America podium of the season. Racing for the first time at all the tracks on the series calendar, Lumsden showed great tenacity to improve with every race weekend, beating his own personal records while earning five wins in the process. He secured the 2026 GT4 driver’s championship title, and Flying Lizard once again became team champions, collecting their 13th team title.

GT4 America
To start race one, Kris Wilson took his final green flag in the No. 413 BMW from fifth place, racing in the largest field of the 2026 season. In usual fashion, the race went full course caution in the opening lap, and Wilson took advantage of the melee to restart from third. Twenty minutes later, the field went back to green with the pit window open. Wilson stayed out at first, defending hard to keep third place before closing out his stint. Zach Lumsden stepped in for the second half of the race, joining the fray in third place. In the final laps, the Am class ran nose-to-tail, all cars jockeying for position. The Colorado Motorsports with Flying Lizard BMW finished sixth in class.

In race two, the pair had their work cut out for them, with an 11th-place starting position for Lumsden. Again, a full course caution paused the race in the opening lap, limiting his time to work his way further up the class. He pitted as soon as the window opened, and Wilson joined the race with 32 minutes remaining under green conditions. In his opening laps, he climbed up to ninth, and made quick work with a stellar drive to finish in seventh position. The duo closed out the season holding fifth place in the driver championship standings.

McLaren Trophy America
Newcomer Michael Suco started his debut event on the best foot, taking the green from the Am class pole position, fighting off early pressure. A full course caution appeared by the end of lap one, following a several-car incident. Track clean up was significant, and the field resumed racing roughly 15 minutes later. As the field resumed racing, Evan King in the No. 62 Flying Lizard entry suffered contact with another car in turn one, bringing out another full course caution. During the series of cautions, Suco continued to lead while Zach Lumsden kept the No. 413 McLaren clean in sixth place. Suco’s No. 77 LLH Motorsports pitted as the field went back to green and Darren Law joined the race in sixth place. Pit stops continued to cycle through, and Law advanced through the field, utilizing his many years of experience from his professional racing days. As the pit stops cycled through, the No. 77 returned to the top of the Am class, ultimately securing a dominating win, and finishing second overall. Lumsden avoided race incidents and drove a clean race to close out the season with a fifth top-five result in his debut season racing in McLaren Trophy America.

Darren Law started Race Two from second place, with Dominic Starkweather sixth in Pro-Am and Zach Lumsden seventh. Law slipped to third on the opening lap before pitting on lap 13 to hand the No. 77 McLaren over to Mike Suco. From there, Suco steadily worked his way through the field, gaining positions and ultimately securing a third-place finish to cap off his debut weekend with a pair of podium results. Lumsden also made steady progress through the Am field, climbing to sixth by lap 13. A well-executed pit strategy at the halfway mark helped him gain additional ground, bringing his McLaren home in fourth place. In the No. 62 entry, Dominic Starkweather maintained sixth through much of his opening stint and eventually worked his way up to fifth in class. At the halfway point, Evan King took over and had a clean race to the finish holding position and finishing fifth in the Pro/Am class.

Already, preparations begin for the approaching 2027 race season, which will be announced in the coming months.
