This weekend’s battle will be staged on the longest circuit on the schedule – 4.048 miles at the beautiful Road America – renowned as “America’s National Park of Speed.”


For Team TGM, this week’s two-hour race could cap off one of the team’s primary goals for the season: clinching the Bronze Cup Championship.


Team owner/driver Ted Giovanis and co-driver Hugh Plumb hold a sizable 1310-point lead in the championship.


With a maximum of 350 points available for each race and four races remaining in the championship, simply finishing the race at Road America will clinch the championship win for Giovanis and Plumb.

“We can almost touch the Bronze Cup championship from here. We don’t need to win; we don’t even need to podium. However, we do have to finish the race, and that has its own challenges at a place like Road America,” said Giovanis.


“Certainly, we are not lowering our expectations, and a podium finish is our mission going into every race weekend. However we know the finish is key to clinching the Bronze Cup.


“With the long lap distance at Road America, pit stop strategy will be pivotal, and we have the best in the business at Team TGM in Joe Varde and John Terry. The entire team is performing at the next level.”


In the overall Driver’s Championship, Matt Plumb holds a 300-point lead over his co-driver, Paul Holton in second, while Paul leads third place by 30 points. Team TGM holds the same 330 lead in the Team Championship over second place.


The race weekend will kick off with Friday’s first one-hour practice.

Ted Giovanis - “This track was tough for us last year, but we’re on a strong 2024 run and ready to turn things around. The Aston Martin Vantages are dialed in, the team is sharp, and we’re determined to celebrate the Bronze Cup Championship on Saturday.”


Hugh Plumb - “Elkhart Lake is a favorite—fast track, cheese curds, and great vibes. Ted is doing an amazing job in the #64, and Paul and Matt are on point in the #46. Plus, it’s Kristina Giovanis’s birthday, making the weekend extra special!”


Matt Plumb - “Our goal for the #46 Aston Martin is clear—win at Road America. It’s a track I’ve succeeded at before, and expectations are high. Helping Ted and Hugh clinch the Bronze Cup Championship is just as critical as chasing our other season goals.”


Paul Holton - “We’re in the thick of the season, but the team is executing perfectly. Last week’s test went great, and the #64 is poised to secure their championship. We’re focused on wins, podiums, and wrapping up the next four races strong.”
