Sandy Mitchell has kept his IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship title ambitions firmly alive after delivering another standout performance at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, securing a third consecutive podium finish in the GTD PRO class in as many rounds.
The Fewkes Huff Management athlete and Lamborghini factory driver produced another impressive display alongside Pfaff Motorsports team-mate Andrea Caldarelli, further strengthening their position in the championship fight as they head into the season finale with the title within reach.
The result continues what has been an exceptional full debut IMSA campaign for Mitchell in America, with the Scotsman having established himself as a leading contender in the highly competitive GTD PRO field.
Having arrived at Indianapolis on the back of consecutive class victories aboard Lamborghini’s new-for-2026 Temerario GT3, Mitchell and Caldarelli entered the weekend with considerable momentum.
The pair immediately set about refining the car’s set-up during practice, but their preparations were disrupted when qualifying was cancelled due to lightning in the area. As a result, the starting order was determined by championship position, placing Caldarelli third on the GTD PRO grid.
The Italian made a strong start and maintained third position during his opening stint before handing the Temerario over to Mitchell.
Mitchell rejoined the race in seventh, but wasted little time in launching a determined fightback. Combining race pace with his trademark overtaking ability, the Scotsman carved his way through the field to reclaim a place inside the top three.
With Caldarelli returning to the cockpit for the closing stages, Pfaff Motorsports successfully brought the car home to secure another podium — the pair’s third in succession.
The result has reduced the gap to the championship lead to 53 points, leaving Mitchell and Caldarelli within striking distance heading into the final round at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta from September 30 to October 3.
While Mitchell continued his charge in the United States, Fewkes Huff Management’s European contingent was also busy, with Gilles Magnus, James Sherrington, Jake Hill and Rob Huff all taking to the track across a packed weekend of international and historic racing.
At Zandvoort, Gilles Magnus added another podium to an increasingly impressive 2026 campaign in the GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS.
The Belgian driver and Boutsen VDS team-mate Robin Knutsson delivered a consistently strong performance in the Porsche 911 GT3 R, finishing fourth in the Gold Cup class in Race 1 before stepping onto the podium in Race 2.
Magnus’ latest silverware extends his strong run of form and further underlines his influence within one of Europe’s most competitive GT championships.
Zandvoort also marked another important step in the development of teenage prospect James Sherrington, who continued his maiden GT4 European Series campaign with Mirage Racing.
Making his first competitive appearance at the Dutch circuit, Sherrington quickly adapted to the demanding 2.646-mile venue and delivered a mature and determined performance across the weekend.
The young driver played a key role in moving the #5 Toyota Supra GT4 forward in both races, providing further evidence of the pace and potential he has demonstrated throughout his debut season.
In Spain, Jake Hill brought his first full 24H Series campaign to a close at the Michelin 24H Barcelona season finale at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
Sharing the Era Motorsport Ferrari 296 GT3 with Dwight Merriman, Ryan Dalziel and Oliver Bryant, Hill delivered a series of very strong stints as the team challenged for Pro-Am honours. His one-lap qualifying pace was also apparent in the build-up to the race.
The Ferrari remained in podium contention until a crash involving Merriman ultimately brought the team’s challenge to an early conclusion, ending Hill and the team’s hopes of converting their pace into a representative finishing result.
Back in the United Kingdom, Fewkes Huff Management Co-Founder and former FIA World Touring Car Champion Rob Huff returned to the historic surroundings of the Goodwood Revival for a weekend celebrating some of the most iconic machinery and drivers in motorsport history.
Huff shared a pair of spectacular Jaguar E-Types with Richard Meins, while also taking to the wheel of an Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA alongside Niklaus Ditting.
The event provided Huff with the opportunity to race against a host of renowned names, including NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson and Formula 1 World Champions Jenson Button and Jacques Villeneuve, in a celebration of historic motorsport that combined competition, heritage and spectacle.
Will Fewkes, Co-Founder of Fewkes Huff Management, said: “It has been one of the busiest weekends we have experienced as a management company, but equally one of the most rewarding.
“To see Sandy continue to deliver at this level in IMSA is hugely encouraging. A third consecutive podium, combined with another significant reduction in the championship deficit, is an outstanding achievement — particularly given this is his first full season competing in the championship.
“He now heads to the finale with a genuine opportunity to fight for the GTD PRO title, which is a fantastic position to be in and a testament to the work being done by Sandy, Andrea and the entire Pfaff Motorsports team.
“Gilles is continuing to build momentum as well, and another podium in GT World Challenge Europe reflects the consistency and hard work he continues to put in.
“James is gaining valuable experience with every weekend in the GT4 European Series, while Jake and Rob both produced strong performances in very different circumstances.
“Collectively, it was a hugely positive weekend for the management team and, most importantly, a great reflection of the quality and commitment of the drivers we represent.”
Rob Huff, Co-Founder of Fewkes Huff Management, said: “It was an incredibly memorable weekend, both personally and professionally.
“The Goodwood Revival is one of the most special events on the motorsport calendar. There is something unique about racing these incredible cars in front of such a passionate crowd, particularly when you are sharing the circuit with drivers of the calibre of Jimmie, Jenson and Jacques.
“The machinery demands enormous respect and precision, and that is what makes competing at Goodwood so rewarding. It is racing in its purest form, but with the added privilege of being able to celebrate some of the sport’s greatest eras.
“Beyond my own weekend, it was fantastic to see Sandy stand on the podium again. He is driving with huge confidence at the moment and has put himself in a very strong position heading into the IMSA finale.
“Gilles, James and Jake all delivered excellent performances too. It has been a fantastic weekend across the board, and we can now look forward to what promises to be a very exciting conclusion to the season.”
