Jason Bell will make the switch from GMG Racing to Flying Lizard Motorsports in SRO America competition next year as part of the team’s multi-car effort with Aston Martin Vantage GT4s.

Bell has been confirmed for a full season effort in GT America presented by AWS effort with the California-based squad, alongside the returning Elias Sabo, with Sabo again teaming up with Andy Lee in Pirelli GT4 America.

“We are really excited to have Jason Bell join us next year,” said program manager Darren Law. “He has always been a strong competitor and is always fighting for a win.

“Over the past several years he has raised his level on track with both lap times and his race craft and we look forward to working together with him in hopes of bringing him and Flying Lizard Motorsports a championship in the GT America class in 2023.”

Bell won the 2021 GT America championship and finished runner-up in the GT4 class this year, both with GMG.

“This will be an exciting new chapter in my career in SRO,” he said. “I have always respected the Lizard team and what they have accomplished over the years.

“I have raced against this team for five years and have always noticed the professionalism, preparation, and winning drive they bring to every race weekend. There is no doubt this team wants to win.”

Sabo, meanwhile will race a partial season in GT America, with his focus set on making a bid for the GT4 America title alongside his driver coach Lee following the pair’s eight podiums in the 2022 season.

“This will be our second season driving an Aston Martin and working with Flying Lizard Motorsports,” said Sabo. “Last year we finished the 2022 campaign with steadily improving results and we hope to take that momentum into the 2023 season.”

The GT America season kicks off at the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg in March, with the GT4 America campaign getting underway at Sonoma Raceway later in the month.
