Drivers tested the limits, and themselves, on Sunday at Sebring International Raceway during the fourth Ferrari Challenge North America race of the 2026 season.

Trofeo Pirelli

Johnny Kaminskey (Ferrari of Long Island) capped off a successful weekend at Sebring with a Race 2 win, mirroring his performance from the day prior.

The 17-year-old ran uncontested to extend his Trofeo Pirelli championship advantage with three wins to begin the year.

But behind him, it was a fight for the remaining podium positions. Roberto Perrina (Ferrari of Seattle) passed teammate Brian Cook for second place and attempted a furious dash towards Kaminskey, but settled for runner-up.

Cook was poised to follow Perrina but endured a last-lap setback, and George Grinzewitsch III inherited third place – his best result of the season.

In Trofeo Pirelli Am, Mitchell Green (Ferrari Westlake) skyrocketed to the championship lead following a win on Sunday. Green arrived to Sebring sixth in the standings by less than 10 points, and leaves ahead by four points.

Green’s longtime friend yet class rival Yahn Bernier (Ferrari of Seattle) finished within striking distance, just .359 seconds behind, followed by Gregory Hopkins (Foreign Cars Italia) in third.

Coppa Shell

It was a celebratory Coppa Shell race for Ferrari of Naples, as Andrew Parker took the overall win and teammates Melissa Kozyra and Jamie Garrett placed a historic 1-2 female finish in Coppa Shell Am.

For Parker, it was his best result of the season – not only starting from the pole position, but also winning for the first time in his Ferrari Challenge career and posting the race’s fastest lap.

For Kozyra, it was her first weekend sweep in the series and it occurred just one day after her inaugural win at a North American track. She previously won both rounds at last year’s Finali Mondiali in Mugello, and following her Sebring success, Kozyra also gained the Coppa Shell Am title lead.

Kozyra started both races at Sebring from pole, but faced adversity on Sunday from Toni Duit (Ferrari Dallas), who was also eager for his first win after a podium on Saturday.

However, a late miscue dropped him to fourth and elevated Garrett to second and Lance Cawley (Ferrari of Atlanta) to third in the process.

Meanwhile, rounding out the Coppa Shell action just a few paces ahead was Kevin Orsini (Wide World Ferrari) in second and Charlie Menard (Twin Cities Performance) in third. It was both drivers’ first podium results of 2026.

Ferrari Challenge North America will visit Circuit of The Americas or the third event of the season.

And while the series ran in Austin just two years ago, the track will this time play host to the annual Ferrari Racing Days celebration in addition to Rounds 5 and 6 of Ferrari Challenge competition.

The weekend is scheduled for May 13-17, and Ferrari Challenge races throughout the season stream live and can be replayed on the Ferrari YouTube channel.
