Victory Weekend: Fred & Patrick with Kingpin Racing at Watkins Glen
Fred & Patrick joined the Kingpin Racing Team in October to capture a weekend of high-performance racing at the World Racing League endurance events in Watkins Glen, New York. With drivers Jonathan Brel, Patrick Wilmot, and Tyler Hoffman behind the wheel, the team delivered outstanding results—finishing P2 and P3 in two demanding races lasting 8 and 7 hours.
From the back of the grid to the front of the pack, the team surged forward with precision and determination, crossing the line just one tenth behind first place in one of the races. Fred & Patrick were there to document every thrilling moment, celebrating not just the speed, but the spirit of victory.
"As one unstoppable unit, Brel, Wilmot, and Hoffman pushed the Supra to its peak—rising through the ranks with precision, power, and a shared hunger for the podium."
"Under flickering fluorescent lights and a sky heavy with silence, the Kingpin garage became a scene of controlled chaos—hands flying, engines humming, and the Supra slowly resurrected in a race against time."
