Flying Lizard Motorsports has confirmed a four-car Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America effort, featuring new and returning drivers to the championship-winning organization.

Returning to the fray are Slade Stewart and Andy Lee, the dynamic duo behind the wheel of the No. 14 fan-favorite pink unicorn Lamborghini.

After racing his freshman season by himself and securing the LB Cup class championship, Stewart advanced to the Pro-Am class in 2023, adding coach Lee as his co-driver and finding success as the year progressed.

Reigniting their partnership, Paul Nemschoff and Marc Miller return to Flying Lizard in the vibrant orange No. 41 machine for a sophomore season in the series, following three podiums in the Pro-Am class last year.

Tim Pappas will be making a long-awaited return to the team, having last raced with the Lizards in 2014 in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and will team up with long-time co-driver Jeroen Bleekemolen in the Pro-Am category.

Hailing from Toronto, Sam Shi will make his professional motorsport career debut with Flying Lizard next month, with the young racer in the No. 98 entry.

“We can’t wait to get this season started,” said program manager Darren Law. “We have hired Jeff Lohman to join our engineering team. He has a lot of experience with these cars and pre-season testing has shown a lot of potential.

“It is great to have Slade and Andy back as well as Paul and Marc, both are returning to the Pro-Am class, both had several great finishes last season and we look to be fighting for the championship this year.

“I am also looking forward to welcoming Tim and Jerone back. Both have had a lot of success in many different cars and series and have history with Flying Lizard.

“Sam is new to our team but we have been working with him all winter and I see a lot of potential in him.

“It will be new for everyone in the Super Trofeo series as we have never raced at Sebring but we are up for the challenge.”
