Going into the final race weekend of the year, Michael Levitas in the 35 TPC Racing / Merkle / Under Armour entry was sitting second overall in the Gold Class points standings and in Gold Masters, Levitas was in third. In the Platinum category, David Williams was in fourth place in the Masters Points standings, just two points out of third. Both Levitas and Williams knew that it would come down to the last lap of the last race to determine what happens in the championship, but they both needed to be smart during both races.

When Race one of the weekend started, David Williams took the green flag and secured third place in the Platinum Masters Championship. Williams did a fantastic job all season staying smooth and consistent while getting faster at each event. For Michael Levitas, things were tougher. IMSA started Levitas at the back of the field after qualifying. On lap three of Race One, Michael moved his 35 TPC Racing Porsche from last on the grid up to P3 in class. While having the leaders in sight, Levitas pushed his Porsche GT3 Cup car harder and harder which led to a spin in turn seven. Michael regrouped quickly and fought his way up to a fourth place finish which was a third place finish in the Gold Masters category. After race one, Levitas was just four points out of first in the Masters Championship.

For Race two of the weekend, the final round of the IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge by Yokohama for the 2014 season, it was a rain race. David Williams was starting P3 in Platinum Masters and Levitas was starting P2 in the Gold class. Williams knew all he had to do was finish the race, so he ran smart. At the start, cars went off leading into turn one and David Williams took the lead in the Platinum Masters category and Levitas took the lead in Gold. When the field went back to green flag racing, Michael Levitas pulled a 3 second lead and never looked back as he drove his Gold class TPC Racing Porsche up to 6^th place overall. As Levitas was leading in the Gold category, the car he needed to have finish in fourth in order to secure the championship was sitting in fourth place in the Gold category. With ten minutes remaining, the car running in third went off track entering turn one and the other car moved into the third position. When the checkered flag came out, Michael Levitas took the win in the Gold class while David Williams finished second in Platinum Masters. With Levitas taking the win and the other car finishing third, Levitas finished second in the Gold Masters championship just one point out of first.

“What a weekend,” Levitas said. “It had so much drama. During qualifying I only got in one lap because our transmission broke. We got the gearbox put back together. We got moved back, disqualified. So to come back yesterday and drive from the back of the field up to P3 and spin it, today I just had to put my head down and work and pull off a win. After a drama filled weekend, it was great to take the win and finish the season on a high note. I have to thank my TPC Racing team for all of the hard work this weekend and all season long. They work extremely hard to prepare the best possible car for me and it shows every time I get in it. I also have to say thank you to Damien Faulkner. This season, Damien has come on board for coaching and has helped me tremendously.”

“It was a great race weekend,” said David Williams. “It was a war of attrition. The start was crazy, so I survived that, and then from there it was about not making mistakes. Great facility. The rain tapered off there at the end, so the line got pretty dry, and it was a lot of fun. A huge thank you to the TPC Racing team for everything this season. They do a great job preparing the car for me and it has been great all year. Thank you to Damien Faulkner as well. Damien has helped a ton this season on the coaching side and helping get the car set up. This race was a great way to end the year and I look forward to doing more racing!”

The TPC Racing / Merkle / Under Armour team had a great year of racing and will being making 2015 announcements shortly.

The Lime Rock Park race weekend will have a shortened schedule, only being on track Friday for two practice sessions and qualifying with both races being on Saturday. With the shortened time, the team has been working hard on chassis setup in order to have a strong car right off of the trailer.

Coming off of a successful race weekend at Laguna Seca, Michael Levitas is excited to get back to Lime Rock Park. 2011 was the last time that Levitas raced at LimeRockPark and he is looking forward to being back there again in the 35 TPC Racing / Merkle / Under Armour entry.

“I am very excited to go back to Lime Rock”, stated Michael Levitas. “We had a great race in the Gold Class a few weeks ago at Laguna Seca and I hope to be on the top step of the podium again. The TPC Racing / Merkle / Under Armour team has been working hard and I think we will have a strong car at Lime Rock. Lime Rock is a tight track and not a ton of room to pass, so with that and the limited track time that we will be getting, I believe we will have a strong car to fight with. I am happy to be back in the Gold Class, and after our race at Laguna, I cannot wait to see how competitive our class will be at Lime Rock.”

David Williams has been doing great this season in the 37 TPC Racing / Merkle / Under Armour GT3 Cup and has been reaching each personal goal that he has made. The TPC Racing team has been hard at work with the 991 chassis and Williams will have a strong car to be competitive at Lime Rock.

“I am looking forward to being back at Lime Roc kPark”, stated David Williams. “I have not been to Lime Rock in a long time, but when I was there last for a PCA Club Race I was on pole my first time out. The TPC Racing team has been doing a great job this season with the 991 GT3 Cup and I think that we will be very competitive at Lime Rock.”

Rounds three and four of the IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge by Yokohama would make for Michael Levitas’ return to the Gold Class, piloting the teams number 35 997 model GT3 Cup. In 2013, Levitas won the Gold Class drivers and Masters drivers’ championships and looks to do the same in 2014.

“I have gotten some testing in with the TPC Racing number 35 car and felt very comfortable in it,” stated Michael Levitas. “Our TPC Racing team knows the chassis so well and I have always felt great in the 997. The 991 is fantastic, but the 997 is very satisfying for me to drive. I know that with the skill of our engineering staff, our coaches Damien Faulkner and Randy Pobst, the TPC Racing team will give me a car that I can be competitive with to fight for more wins. I came into the fight late, so in order to win the championship this year, I need to be on the podium each race weekend.”

Levitas worked hard and had a great race weekend. The team got the car sorted in practice and Michael took the 35 TPC Racing / Merkle / Under Armour GT3 Cup and put it on the top of the timing charts in qualifying. On the last lap, Levitas was knocked off of pole position, and only a few hundredths separated the top three qualifiers in Gold.

Michael Levitas took the green flag starting second in race one. Going into turn two, Levitas made the pass for the lead and held onto his position until the end. Toward the end of the race, there was a caution which bunched up the field. The finished ended up being a green-white-checker shootout to the finish. Michael did a fantastic job and held his position while everyone battled behind the 35 TPC Racing / Merkle / Under Armour machine. Levitas was able to take the checkered flag and win both the Gold and Gold Masters.

“Great race, absolutely fantastic,” stated Levitas. “The TPC Racing Porsche was outstanding. The guys did an amazing job on the setup. It was great through 3 and 4 and just killer through 9 and 10. The competition was off the charts! I had to run every lap with no mistakes. We were within a second the entire race. It was just absolute mayhem. I would work so hard to make up that one-second and boom, we’d have to restart and I would have to do it over again. I really have to thank our coach Damien Faulkner for the racing advice and calming myself down to drive such a great race. Also, a huge thanks to IMSA and all of the competitors for such an amazing race.”

David Williams was doing a fantastic job in the 37 Merkle / TPC Racing / Under Armour entry. David worked hard on his driving and was working hard for a solid finish in the Platinum class running his 2014 991 GT3 Cup. The TPC Racing team worked hard as well and delivered a great chassis that Williams was confident in to run a strong race.

“The TPC Racing team gave me a fantastic car,” stated David Williams. “The car was great and working with Damien Faulkner helped me tremendously. I was able to drive extremely well and felt great in the car.

David Williams started the race in the mix of the Gold competitors and got through the group right away. Qualifying did not go how Williams expected, so it was important to get a clean start. David did a fantastic job and had a great race, picking through the field one car after the next. It was clean racing with no mistakes. David Williams drove a fantastic race, winning the Yokohama Hard Charger award after starting 22^nd and finishing 16^th.

“I had a great start,” stated David Williams. “Right on the outside was wide open, and I probably made up five spots there on the start. I was running consistent after that and it was a great race. My TPC Racing / Merkle / Under Armour car was just fantastic. A huge thank you to the entire TPC Racing team.”

The TPC Racing team looks forward to the next rounds on Memorial Day weekend at LimeRockPark.

The weekend was action packed with ALMS and also WEC being at Circuit of the Americas, but this also limited the teams time on track. The 35, 36 and 37 TPC Racing / Porsche of Towson GT3 Cup cars had two test sessions and two practice sessions before qualifying. During the practice sessions, the team worked hard on chassis setup to prepare strong cars for qualifying. Once it came time to qualify though, there was a short downpour as the cars were on grid. IMSA did not call the qualifying session to be a wet session though since the sky was clearing up but the track surface was wet, so the team could not put rain tires on. With this happening, qualifying was cancelled and the cars would grid based off of combined practice times.

For race one of the weekend, the skies opened up once again and the team would go out on rain tires. During the race, it was raining the entire time which made for an interesting race. Ben Keating would start further back in the field due to not having a qualifying session, starting nineteenth on the grid in the 35 Porsche of Towson GT3 Cup. Michael Levitas started second in the Gold Class in his 36 Porsche of Towson GT3 Cup with teammate David Williams starting in third in his 37 Merkle / Porsche of Towson entry.

At the start of the race, Ben Keating made up three positions in turn one and had a fantastic start to the race. Levitas in the 36 Porsche of Towson entry was fighting with Platinum traffic to catch the Gold leader and Williams was holding a consistent pace to keep up with Levitas. During the race, there were many caution periods which made for only five laps of green flag racing. This did not give the team enough time to fight for higher positions on track, but Levitas and Williams who have proven to be a dynamic duo finished second and third in Gold.

Race two of the weekend was a great race with a dry track. Michael Levitas and David Williams went out on track with one goal in mind which was to survive the race to secure the championship. Levitas started the race in second once again and David Williams started in fourth. At the drop of the green flag, David Williams had a great run in the 37 Merkle / Porsche of Towson GT3 Cup and made a great pass for third. From there, the race would not see a caution period and the 36 and 37 TPC Racing / Porsche of Towson / Merkle GT3 Cup cars would finish second and third, but more importantly secure the team and drivers championship.

With the strong finishing position by both Michael Levitas and David Williams, this allowed Michael Levitas to secure the Drivers Championship, David Williams secured second place in the Drivers Championship and the TPC Racing / Porsche of Towson / Merkle team secured the Team Championship.

“Racing at Circuit of the Americas in my Porsche of Towson GT3 Cup car was fantastic,” stated Michael Levitas. “It is a great track and I hope to race here again. We had one goal in mind this weekend and it was to keep the cars in one piece and secure the championship. We accomplished that and it could not have been done without the hard work from our amazing TPC Racing team and the great support from Porsche of Towson. The team has worked so hard this season and we have always brought fantastic cars to the field. It is great winning the team and drivers championship and also to have my teammate David Williams finish second.”

“COTA is one of the greatest sports car racing facilities in North America and it was fantastic to have the opportunity to race there,” stated David Williams. “Getting 3rd place in both the rain and the dry made for a fantastic weekend! Being my first year in the IMSA GT3 Challenge series I didn’t really know what to expect. The level of completion was fantastic and the Porsche Cup car is truly something special to drive. Getting second place in the Gold Championship was very rewarding. I couldn’t have done it without the support of my teammate Michael Levitas and the entire TPC Racing team. Can’t wait for next year!”

With the championship secured, the team goes to Road Atlanta next for the season finale.

After coming off of two wins at the previous rounds in Baltimore, the team has been working around the clock to prepare the cars for Texas. The 35 and 36 Porsche of Towson GT3 Cup cars were taken down to the frame as they were involved in incidents during the weekend. The team has rebuilt the cars and plans to be competitive at Circuit of the Americas.

The three TPC Racing / Porsche of Towson / Merkle drivers are excited to take on another new course this season. Ben Keating, a Texas resident is thrilled to take on the track in the 35 Porsche of Towson entry, Michael Levitas, born in Waco, Texas looks forward to being at Circuit of the Americas in his 36 Porsche of Towson entry and David Williams looks forward to racing in Texas and hopes to fight for the top step of the podium after taking his first win of the year in Baltimore.

“I am very excited to be racing in my home state and especially with the TPC Racing / Porsche of Towson team at Circuit of the Americas,” stated Ben Keating. “The TPC Racing prepared GT3 Cup has always been great this season, and I know we will have a good car that will have a chance to run to the front of the field.”

“Circuit of the Americas is a track I have been looking forward to running this season,” stated Michael Levitas. “The track seems like it is a technical track, and our TPC Racing / Porsche of Towson team has always been able to find a good chassis setup on tracks like that. The team has worked hard since the last round to rebuild the car after an incident in race 2, so I know we will have a good car for Texas and I hope to have a good race with my teammate David Williams in the 37 Merkle / Porsche of Towson car as he won the last race in Baltimore.”

“I am looking forward to racing at Circuit of the Americas,” stated David Williams. “I have heard the track is technical which should make for great racing. The TPC Racing team has always provided me with a great car that I can stay at the front of the pack with, so I look forward to learning this new track and hope to fight for the top step of the podium.”

The team takes to the track for the first time on Wednesday, September, 18 2013. You can follow along with the TPC Racing / Porsche of Towson team updates by following TPC Racing on Facebook and @TPCRacing on Twitter.

The weekend was not a long weekend for track time since the track was a street circuit. The team was on track Friday morning and had two thirty minute practice sessions to learn the track before qualifying later in the afternoon. Practice went well for the 35, 36 and 37 Porsche of Towson / Merkle entries. Ben Keating in the Platinum Class 35 Porsche of Towson GT3 Cup got up to speed very fast and was in the top five during second practice. In Gold, Michael Levitas in the 36 Porsche of Towson entry and David Williams in the 37 Merkle / Porsche of Towson entry were very close in lap times. Michael was fastest in practice one and David fastest in practice two by four hundredths of a second. With these lap times, the team knew that qualifying and the race would be close and exciting.

During qualifying, Ben Keating went out in the 35 Porsche of Towson entry to put down a fast lap. Coming onto the front straight through the chicane, Keating made contact with a barrier which caused damage to the rear suspension. The damage would put Keating out for the remainder of the session, but the team would have the suspension repaired for Saturdays race. In the Gold Class, Michael Levitas got the pole position in his 36 Porsche of Towson entry, just ahead of teammate David Williams in the 37 Merkle / Porsche of Towson entry.

Saturday would start race one of the weekend in front of over one hundred thousand fans lining the streets of Baltimore. At the start of the race, all three TPC Racing Porsche GT3 Cup cars had clean starts, and right away Ben Keating in the 35 Porsche of Towson entry was able to make his way through the field after starting toward the rear of the pack. Michael Levitas and David Williams in their 36 and 37 cars worked together to make their way through the field as well, even passing Platinum Class cars. There was a caution early on which brought the field closer together, and when the track went green again, Ben Keating made great passes that would get him into seventh overall. Levitas and Williams stayed first and second in class, staying out of trouble and running consistent laps. After forty five minutes of hard racing, Keating crossed the finish line in seventh overall, winning him the Yokohama Hard Charger Award and in Gold, Michael Levitas took the win with teammate David Williams taking second in their Porsche of Towson / Merkle entries.

“Winning the Yokohama Hard Charger is a nice accomplishment,” stated Ben Keating, driver of the 35 Porsche of Towson entry. “I cannot say enough about this TPC Racing / Porsche of Towson team. We had an incident in qualifying and the team worked all night to rebuild the rear suspension so that we could make the race today. The team is fantastic and the car was perfect which made it easy for me to make my way through the field. It was great to race on the streets of Baltimore and especially to do it in front of the Porsche of Towson guests. I look forward to taking this great momentum forward into Texas where we will race at Circuit of the Americas next.”

“My Porsche of Towson 36 car was just amazing,” stated Michael Levitas. “It was so hooked up. It was so dialed in; the team did a fantastic job with the chassis setup. It was hot between the concrete. I had to short shift every gear but I can’t say enough about the Porsche of Towson and TPC guys. It was an honor to win here today in our home town but even more exciting to do so in front of our sponsors and supporters from Porsche of Towson. My teammate David Williams of Merkle did an amazing job. He pushed me hard. We were lap for lap.”

“It was awesome,” stated David Williams. I love the facility. I love street racing. It’s the first one I’ve ever done and I would love to do more of it. It’s great to be in my home town too. My company Merkle is located here and so is Porsche of Towson. I’ve lived here for 25 years and just these kinds of crowds and the energy and excitement is fantastic. Technical course, high speed, fantastic.”

For race two of the weekend, Michael Levitas would start on pole again with teammate David Williams right behind him. On the start, a Platinum Class car tried to split the field, hitting a car and spinning going into turn one. As this was going on, Levitas was making his way up the field, got pushed by another Platinum Class car and made contact with a spun car which broke the radiator and ended the race for the 36 entry. David Williams made it through turn one safe and clean, taking the lead and running away with it in his 37 Merkle / Porsche of Towson entry. Right away, David put a gap on the second place car and ran away with it. Williams was running faster and faster each lap, turning his fastest lap and Gold Class race record lap on the second to last lap. When the checkered flag flew, David Williams crossed the line first in his 37 Merkle / Porsche of Towson GT3 Cup, taking his first ever series win.

“To get first place in my first year in my hometown is great,” Williams said. “It’s fantastic. To do it in front of a big audience with lots of hometown people here makes it even better. We had fans from Merkle and Porsche of Towson watching us and it was a fantastic win. It would not have been possible without the great support from the TPC Racing team and our driver coach Randy Pobst.”

Next on the schedule is Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas for rounds thirteen and fourteen. The team goes into Texas leading the driver and team point’s championship.

TPC Racing team owner Michael Levitas and his son Harris visited Mama’s on the Half Shell, Max’s on Broadway and Attman’s Deli. The team even stopped at Eastern Animal Hospital with Daytona Levitas, a Bouvier Des Flanders who is the TPC Racing mascot. While each member of the team had his favorite place to chow down, they all agreed one place around town rose above them all – the street circuit on the InnerHarbor.

“This is our home track and we’re really excited to race on the streets of Baltimore in front of home fans,” Levitas said. “We’re excited for Porsche of Towson, our title sponsor this year, who has given us the inspiration and spirit to drive the way we’ve been doing. Our team always rises to the occasion, they never get down and always keep working hard.”

The team hits the temporary street circuit this weekend for the Grand Prix of Baltimore Presented by SRT. TPC Racing aims to extend its lead in the IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge by Yokohama Gold Cup class. The 2.1-mile, 12-turn street circuit presents a new challenge for series participants as IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge by Yokohama makes its debut in Baltimore.

While the TPC Racing team is more than familiar with the track first-year team member David Williams, driver of the No. 37 Merkle Inc. car, will be making his debut at the circuit as well. As a Baltimore native and annual spectator of the event, he is excited to finally be competing.

“The Grand Prix of Baltimore has become a pretty meaningful event in Baltimore,” said TPC Racing driver David Williams. “I’ve been an autosports fan my whole life but it’s amazing how non-autosports people have enjoyed the Baltimore Grand Prix. So just to be a part of that is actually quite exciting.”

Williams made his IMSA debut this year after a career in sports car club racing in the early 90s. He took a decade off from racing before jumping back into the cockpit with TPC. Conveniently located around the corner from his business, Merkle Inc., the TPC Racing shop was a perfect fit for Williams.

As the Chairman and CEO of Merkle Inc., a database marketing company, Williams transfers much of his work off-track to his racing world. The Annapolis, Md.-native has noticed many parallels between the use of data in autosports and his use of data to make marketing more targetable and measureable.

“It’s really interesting to see the use of data in autosports and how we can analyze it to improve lap times, driver skill and focus areas,” Williams said.

Williams has always been into cars, growing up with a sports car fanatic for a father and experiencing his first racing moment at 17 in drag racing. At age 30, Williams bought his first Porsche and became more interested in classic road racing.

“I originally met Mike (Levitas) and the TPC guys back 10 years ago when I was club racing,” Williams said. “I think Mike and TPC played a big role in bringing me into IMSA mainly because they had a lot of experience there and knew how all the processes worked. And they’re located near me here in Maryland and generally just a really good group of people.”

Levitas’ lengthy relationship with sports cars began in 1987. Levitas started in IMSA’s BFG series as an engineer and by the mid-90s TPC Racing was a full-time Porsche racing program. In addition to Levitas, Williams credits his 2013 season success to driving coach Randy Pobst, who has been a catalyst to TPC Racing.

The veteran TPC Racing / Porsche of Towson team and Williams’ eagerness for an experience beyond club racing has combined for a successful run this year in the Gold Cup category. Currently, Levitas leads Gold Cup competition with 184 points after five wins and Williams is in second place after claiming six podium finishes in eight rounds of competition.

“It’s been a fantastic relationship (with IMSA),” Levitas said. “The IMSA teams are so professional and I can’t say enough about all of the tech people. It’s a very professional series and to win in this series is really great. It’s quite an elevated series.”

Ben Keating, not a Baltimore local, is excited to take on the streets of Baltimore in the 35 Porsche of Towson entry. Keating has driven great races with the TPC Racing team in the Platinum Class so far this season and look forward to have a great drive on the streets of Baltimore.

“I am really excited to be in Baltimore and race on the street circuit,” said Ben Keating. “The TPC Racing / Porsche of Towson team has always prepared an amazing car for me, so I am looking forward to seeing what we can do. This is TPC Racing’s home track, their facility is just 20 minutes away from the track, so it will be exciting to have the TPC Racing fans, everyone from Porsche of Towson and Merkle out there watching us.”

In practice, the TPC Racing Porsche GT3 Cup cars were great. While Ben Keating and David Williams have been to Road America before, Michael Levitas used the test sessions and first practice to learn the course to be competitive. While learning the track, Levitas still had an impressive lap time to put him in the top three; that is when the team knew that the car was good. The team made chassis adjustments to help better the handling of the cars and the 35 car of Ben Keating, 36 of Michael Levitas and 37 of David Williams were ready for qualifying.

For qualifying, Ben Keating had a strategy that he pulled off in the 35 car. In the 36 Porsche of Towson entry, Michael Levitas drove his car to a starting position of third for the first race and set his second fastest lap time to be that of starting first for race two. David Williams was consistent with his lap times and qualified sixth in the Gold class.

At the start of the first race, the 35 Porsche of Towson / Merkle entry had a great start, as Keating started moving his way up through the field and his strategy was playing out. Ben started further back in the field as he did not want to do many qualifying laps on the tires and rolled off in the twenty-second spot on the grid. Even with lengthy cautions in the beginning of the race, Keating was able to drive up to eleventh spot which earned him the Yokohama Hard Charger Award.

“The TPC Racing / Porsche of Towson GT3 Cup was great today,” Keating said. “The team worked hard to give me a great car and once again delivered a fast car that I could drive through the field with. We had a strategy going into qualifying that worked out for me and at the start I stayed out of trouble and made my way up through the field. Thank you to TPC Racing for the great car and I look forward to Baltimore.”

The 36 Porsche of Towson / Merkle entry of Michael Levitas had a great start. Michael took over the lead after a nice battle and held on. On the last lap while leading the race in turn six, Levitas got hit in the left front which caused the tire to go down and Michael finished in the fourth position but took second place in the Masters class. In race two, Levitas started on pole. It was a wet race, and Michael did not want to take chances as he was learning a wet line and also in the lead of the race. The second race was full of long cautions and Levitas finished in third but won the Masters class.

“It was a great race, a great race,” Levitas said. “The Porsche of Towson TPC car just did incredible. We made a little bit of a change before the race I thought it would give me some rear grip but it gave me a little too much, and it cost me about a half of a second a lap, and it really hurt. But what really hurt is that I had the lead up until the very last lap. But we still pulled off P3. My teammate Dave Williams–my hat goes off to him. Dave Williams did a supreme job he brought that car into second place and he was a steady guy he was strong and there at the end and that’s what matters.”

“In the second race things got a bit crazy with the rain and extended cautions, but David and I were smart and worked as a team. We survived the race and moved up in class without making a mistake. It was great to win the Masters class and have my teammate David Williams in second”

David Williams drove a fantastic race in both the first and second race of the weekend. In race one, David was setting consistent laps which had him finish in second place in Gold and Williams took the win in the Masters class with his 37 Merkle / Porsche of Towson machine. In race 2, David had a great race in the rain. Williams started in sixth and worked his way up to fourth before a long caution came out. David was faster than the top three, and was looking forward to a strong run to the front but the race finished under caution. The fourth place finish would put Williams in second in the Masters class and would also see David winning the Yokohama Hard Charger Award for the second race of the weekend.

“It was very crazy,” Williams said. “But it ended up being a good race. The restarts were crazy everyone got jammed up coming up the hill and Turn-1 and Turn-3 was just nuts but ultimately great race and great venue. My TPC Racing / Merkle car was great. As always, the team gave me a great car to drive to a podium finish.”

Ben Keating will pilot the 35 Porsche of Towson / Merkle entry once again in the Platinum Class after a fantastic run in Canada. In round seven, Keating won the Yokohama Hard Charger Award after starting toward the back of the field due to qualifying being cancelled. The team is thrilled to have Ben Keating back behind the wheel of the 35 car, and Road America is a track that Keating has seen success at before.

“I am really excited to be back behind the wheel of the 35 TPC Racing Porsche,” stated Ben Keating. “The team gave me a great car in Canada and I know that I will have a great car at Road America. I have won races at Road America before and think it is a great track, so I am looking forward to racing there in the 35 TPC Racing / Porsche of Towson GT3 Cup.”

Michael Levitas in his 36 Porsche of Towson / Merkle entry continues to battle teammate David Williams in the 37 Merkle / Porsche of Towson GT3 Cup for the Gold Class driver championship. Levitas continues to hold a championship lead after David Williams had to miss rounds seven and eight, but David still sits in second place going into rounds nine and ten.

“Road America is a track that I have not been to before,” stated Michael Levitas. “I have heard great things about the track and have worked on the simulator to learn the track before getting out there in my 36 Porsche of Towson car. The team has been working hard since Canada, so we should have a very strong car going into Road America and hopefully extend the points lead even more.”

David Williams sits in second place in the point’s standings in his 37 Merkle / Porsche of Towson GT3 Cup, just behind teammate Michael Levitas going into rounds nine and ten of the IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge by Yokohama. Road America is a track that Willamis has been to before and also considers it to be one of his favorite tracks.

“I have been looking forward to race at Road America,” stated David Williams. “It has been a few years since I have been there, but I like how fast the track is and know that my 37 Merkle / Porsche of Towson entry will be strong there. I know TPC Racing will give me a strong car to run up front with.”

The weekend started off well for the TPC Racing / Porsche of Towson / Merkle team. Out of the trailer, both the 35 car of Ben Keating and 36 car of Michael Levitas were quick. The team made chassis adjustments during practice and the cars proved to handle better, making for what would be good cars in qualifying and in the race.

Just before qualifying, there was a heavy storm that came in. The TPC Racing cars were setup well and would have been good in the rain, but also good in the dry. On the out lap, cars started going off track which caused the session to be stopped so that there could be track cleanup. When the cars were released to go back out again, there was lightning as the cars were making another out lap which caused the session to be canceled. When the session was canceled, IMSA had the cars gridded based off of practice times. This would have Ben Keating start in fifteenth position in the Platinum Class and Michael Levitas start in second in the Gold Class.

When it came time to race, the track was dry and the TPC Racing team had great cars to fight to the front with. At the drop of the green flag, Levitas took off in the Gold Class and got the lead. It was a hard fight with the second and third place cars in class, but Levitas drove his 36 Porsche of Towson GT3 Cup back to victory lane at CTMP.

“What a race,” stated Michael Levitas. “The second and third place cars gave me a real battle out there. I knew that I had to get a good start right away so that I could try to run away with it but they put up a good fight and we had a blast. Our TPC Racing / Porsche of Towson team gave me a great car. I have to thank Porsche of Towson and everyone involved as this was a great weekend. I missed having my teammate David out there with me, but we will have fun out at Road America together.”

In Platinum, Ben Keating was driving a fantastic race in the 35 Porsche of Towson GT3 Cup. Ben drove a stellar race, faster each lap and very consistent. During the race, Keating picked off six cars, finishing ninth and also setting a fast lap of what was being set at the front of the field. For making so many positions and driving a great race, Ben Keating received the Yokohama Hard Charger Award.

“TPC Racing gave me an amazing car,” stated Ben Keating. “That was a great race and I had a blast in my Porsche of Towson / Viper Exchange car out there. The competition was great and a huge thank you to the guys at TPC Racing giving me such an awesome car that I could fight with and put down great laps. I look forward to hopefully coming back out and doing it again.”

The TPC Racing / Porsche of Towson / Merkle team leaves CTMP still in the Gold Class points lead in the driver and team championship going into Road America in three weeks.
