TPC Racing has expanded into Pirelli GT4 America competition beginning with this weekend’s round at Barber Motorsports Park, with Alan Grossberg adding to his existing GT America powered by AWS program in the No. 102 McLaren Artura GT4.

Grossberg, who made his GT4 debut last time out at Road America, will team up with Dream Racing driver coach Dario Capitanio for the pair of 60-minute races in Alabama.

The 29-year-old Italian won a Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America Pro-Am class race with Dream at Watkins Glen in 2021 and has driven everything from the Huracan Super Trofeo to LMP3 cars in the European Le Mans Series to, more recently, a Ferrari 488 GT3 in the GT Winter Series in Europe.

The two drivers have previously raced together with some success in the past, co-driving to a third-place Lamborghini Super Trofeo Pro-Am finish at NOLA Motorsports Park in 2022.

“The decision to do double up with both series was based around just trying to get as much track time as possible in the car,” said Grossberg. “It will help me get up to speed on the car’s capabilities quicker.

“I left Road America feeling like I left an awful lot on track and that there is a lot more to still be gained. I want to be as competitive as possible against the other GT4 drivers.

“Barber is going to be a completely new track for me. I have never been there, and I am looking for as much video as I can find as I don’t know the circuit at all.

“Dario and I have been together for about five years, we are very comfortable with each other, and actually co-drove in a couple of races in Super Trofeo.

“I later helped him get into his own car so we could both get more seat time, but I am really looking forward to co-driving with him again. He is always really solid, is my primary driving coach and always a great co-driver.”

TPC Racing’s director of race operations Harris Levitas added: “We have experienced this pit stop format before in some single-make series racing that we do, and we know how to gain competitive edges in those situations.

“It is great to be part of both the GT America and Pirelli GT4 fields, and we look forward to seeing how Alan and Dario can do as a driving pair.”
