Tally Joins KMW Motorsports With TMR Engineering Alfa TCR

KMW Motorsports with TMR Engineering, a longtime entrant in IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge, has announced that William Tally will join its driver lineup for the 2024 season.

Tally, a full-time orthopedic surgeon in Georgia, will join Tim Lewis Jr. in the No. 5 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Veloce as the Florida-based team returns to the TCR class.

Lewis previously ran the last five seasons with Roy Block, who has chosen to step away from racing after the pair collected a historic eight wins with Alfa Romeo and finished as high as second in the championship.

“We have big changes coming in 2024 for our little team,” said team principal Louis Milone. “While Roy Block can never be replaced, we are very excited to welcome Will Tally to partner with Tim Lewis Jr. moving into next season.

“We watched Will collect championships in the Porsche Club National series and also during his freshman IMSA TCR season – we know he will be a perfect fit to compete for wins and ultimately the championship.

“I really want to thank Roy for his commitment and dedication that helped build our team into a world class championship contender.

“Thank you to IMSA and its staff for helping us put together the necessary pieces to bring this program back, and to Romeo Ferraris of Milan for supporting us with such a great racecar ahead of our sixth season.”

Though only having run his first track day in 2018, Tally is a two-time PCA Club GTB1 National Champion, and a winner at Daytona International Speedway in the 2021 Pilot Challenge TCR class. Tally made his series debut only the year prior, but most recently contested eight races during the 2023 season with a best finish of second again at Daytona and two additional top-five finishes.

“I’m excited to join Tim on track with KMW Motorsports and TMR Engineering for my sophomore IMSA season,” said Tally. “This year presents a refreshing change to drive with him in the Alfa Romeo instead of trying to chase him down! I’m excited to see how our season unfolds.

“This is a team with a history of tremendous success. My goal is to hand Tim a healthy, fast car at each event, such that he can make a competitive run to the checkered flag.”

“After a successful last three seasons in the TCR class, I’m excited to continue that momentum in 2024 with Will joining our team,” said Lewis.

“Going into our sixth season with the Alfa Romeo, the crew has worked extremely hard to learn the ins-and-outs of this car and we’re all excited to introduce Will to the platform.

“Roy was critical to our program over the last few years, and we’re ready to go into 2024 with the same goal to bring home wins and fight for the championship.”
