With three podiums in four GT World Challenge races to start the season, Sedgwick looks for that breakthrough win at Sebring<\/em><\/p>\n

MILLVILLE, NJ (May 12, 2025) \u2013 PT Autosport\u2019s Alex Sedgwick has impressed out of the box in his rookie GT World Challenge Presented by AWS season. The 26-year-old Warwickshire, UK native looks to continue that trend in two races this weekend at Sebring International Raceway as he aims for his first series victory.<\/p>\n

Sharing the wheel of the No. 18 RS1\/Race Brew by Momentum Brewery\/PT Autosport\/Porsche Naples Porsche 911 GT3 R with Porsche veteran Jan Heylen, Sedgwick led the field in his second ever GT World Challenge race at Sonoma. With his first pit stops and driver changes behind him, he looks to capture that first series victory in the extremely competitive Pro class.<\/p>\n

\u201cComing out of those first two weekends, I feel as though I\u2019ve done a good job of adapting to the new procedures and processes,\u201d said Sedgwick, who moved up to the series after two seasons in Porsche Carrera Cup North America. \u201cThe races are 90 minutes, so a stint is effectively a Carrera Cup race, so I\u2019m used to that. Now it\u2019s more about managing the two sides of the races \u2013 each driver stint \u2013 and working together as a team to make things happen. On the driving side, it\u2019s about understanding what the car needs, and continuing to learn and develop.\u201d<\/p>\n

A former World War II air base, Sebring is famous (some would say infamous) for its track surface, with the bumps having their own hashtag (#RespectTheBumps). With two top five finishes in four Carrera Cup races, Sedgwick feels ready for the challenge.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, the bumps get the most attention when you\u2019re talking about Sebring, and rightly so,\u201d said Sedgwick. \u201cManaging setup with the bumps in mind involves a bit of compromising between everything the track throws at you: there are reasonably high-speed areas that require big commitment, while the really bumpy turns like 1 and 17 require more precision. But there are a few technical sections where you need to have a car that’s really good at direction change and low speed corners, so finding that balance across the entire track, with an eye toward where you really want to be good, will be key.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sedgwick made his Porsche Carrera Cup North America, earning a top 10 finish with limited experience in the car. Now, with experience and momentum on his side, PT Autosport team principal Jason Myers looks forward to seeing what Sedgwick can do on the 17-turn, 3.741-mile asphalt and concrete racetrack.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlex has been quick here in a Cup Car and I think the further refinements of the GT3 R will make him that much quicker,\u201d said Myers. \u201cHis driving continues to improve and I\u2019m confident he\u2019s going to continue to impress everyone who is watching.\u201d<\/p>\n

The GT World Challenge America series will contest two 90-minute races at Sebring. Race one takes the green flag Saturday at 3:00 p.m. ET, with race two at 1:45 p.m. The races will be streamed live on\u00a0YouTube<\/a>, with an interactive broadcast on\u00a0Twitch<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
