Paul Bocuse will make his Pirelli GT4 America debut this weekend at Sebring International Raceway, subbing for Jack Parriott in Kellymoss’ No. 73 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport alongside co-diver Erika Hoffmann.

The 17-year-old driver is fresh off a career-best runner-up finish in last weekend’s Porsche Carrera Cup North America round in Miami, also in a Kellymoss Porsche.

“I’m really excited to be back in a GT4 car,” said Bocuse. “It’s been three years since I last raced one, so this is a big moment for me.

“We’re coming in with strong momentum after a [second]-place finish in Porsche Carrera Cup North America in Miami, and I’m looking to carry that forward into this weekend.

“Racing in GT4 America at Sebring International Raceway is really special since it’s a track I know well and consider home.

“Huge thanks to Andy and Victoria at Kellymoss for the opportunity. I’m focused on making the most of this opportunity and delivering a strong result.”

Kellymoss co-owner Victoria Thomas added: “Paul has shown a lot of promise, and we’re excited to see him take this next step with us.

“Sebring is not an easy place to make a debut, but Paul has the right mindset and approach.

“Pairing him with Erika gives us a strong foundation for the weekend, and we’re looking forward to watching them grow together as a driver pairing.”

Parriott, who sustained an accident in qualifying for last month’s Lone Star Enduro at Circuit of The Americas, has ‘stepped away’ from the Sebring event to focus on work commitments.

“The team remains fully supportive of Jack and looks forward to having him back when his schedule allows,” a statement from the team read.
