Kellymoss Returns to GT3 Competition in 2026
Sonoma, CA – Kellymoss, a dominant force in the Porsche Carrera Cup North America, has announced its return to GT3 competition, entering three new Porsche 911 GT3 Rs in the GT World Challenge America powered by AWS Pro-Am class for the 2026 season. This marks the team’s first full-season GT3 effort since 2023.
Kellymoss previously fielded cars in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship during its partnership with sister company Riley Inc. With a renewed focus, the team aims to leverage Riley Inc.’s endurance racing expertise to enhance performance in what promises to be a highly competitive environment.
“Riley Inc’s involvement strengthens our SRO program, enhancing our long-term commitment to compete at higher levels,” stated Victoria Thomas, Principal and Chief Business Officer at Kellymoss.
Each of the three 992.2-generation Porsches will feature a blend of experienced Pro drivers and promising Bronze drivers. Notably, the #017 Porsche will be helmed by Colin Braun, a seasoned competitor with accolades including victories at the 24 Hours of Daytona, Spa-Francorchamps, and Le Mans, alongside three IMSA championships. He will share driving duties with Michael Clark, a Bronze driver making his GT3 debut after a successful 2024 season in the Porsche Sprint Challenge.
“I’m looking forward to kicking off the SRO America season with Kellymoss,” said Braun. “Michael has shown great potential, and I’m confident we will achieve significant results together.”
Also representing Kellymoss in the GT World Challenge will be two recent champions from the Porsche Carrera Cup North America: 2023 champion Riley Dickinson and 2024 champion Loek Hartog. Dickinson will pilot the #13 Porsche alongside Todd Parriott, a driver transitioning into GT3 competition after prior experience in GT4.
“I’m excited for this new chapter and confident in our team’s capabilities,” Dickinson remarked.
Hartog will drive the #88 car alongside John Gilliland, who is also making his GT3 debut. Hartog arrives with a wealth of experience, including a championship win in the Asian Le Mans Series and notable finishes at prestigious endurance events.
“I’m honored to race at this level with Kellymoss and aim for the top of the podium,” Gilliland expressed.
As the GT World Challenge America transitions to an endurance-based format, interest in the series has surged, promising engaging racing for fans and competitors alike. The team’s preparation and strategic mindset will be tested as they head into their first race at Sonoma.
