McLaren Trophy America competitors will have three races this weekend at Circuit of The Americas, with the make-up race for the weather-impacted Round 2 at Sonoma Raceway set to be staged at the Austin venue on Friday.

An expanded grid of 17 McLaren Artura Trophy Evo cars are set for the triple-header, including two new additions to the new-for-2025 SRO America-run single-make series.

Moonfire Motorsports joins the grid with its driver pairing of Vince Zampella and Kezia Dawn, while Rafael Martinez and Jon Lancaster, of RAFA Racing Team, make their Trophy America debut in the Pro-Am ranks.

The remaining 15 entries that took part in the Sonoma weekend are set to continue with unchanged lineups.

Friday’s 50-minute make-up race is set for a 2:15 p.m. CST start time. It is scheduled after two practice sessions, the first on tap for Thursday evening.

The two scheduled COTA rounds, meanwhile, are set for Saturday at 2:50 p.m. CST and Sunday at 11:05 a.m. CST.

All three races will be streamed live on SRO’s GT World and McLaren Automotive’s YouTube channels, as well as on SRO Motorsports’ Twitch channel.
