Tiziano Rosso-Orcel may be only seventeen, but 2026 has already marked the biggest step of the young French-American driver’s rapidly developing career. After establishing himself at the sharp end of national karting competition, Tiziano made the leap into Almonte Motorsports’ #9 Porsche 991.2 GT3 Cup, taking on the speed, physical demands, traffic management, strategy, and precision required in World Racing League GTO endurance competition.

His transition to the Porsche has been remarkable. At Utah Motorsports Campus, Tiziano made World Racing League history by becoming the youngest driver ever to lead a WRL race overall. That same weekend, he helped drive Almonte Motorsports to a second-place GTO finish, becoming the youngest driver ever to stand on a WRL GTO podium. The result represented far more than a breakthrough finish—it demonstrated that Tiziano could translate his karting speed into front-running pace at the highest level of WRL competition.

Tiziano continues to sharpen his craft under the guidance of 10-time national karting champion Ryan Norberg, balancing national-level karting competition with the increasingly technical demands of GT racing. Analytical by nature and fluent in data-driven driver development, he has quickly adapted to managing tires, traffic, fuel strategy, and machinery across long endurance stints while providing the detailed feedback necessary to continue developing the Porsche.

His racing foundation was built in endurance karting, where he captured multiple major victories before progressing into national sprint competition, including a P5 finish in the 2025 SKUSA Pro Tour and consistent top-ten performances against deep national fields. That combination of endurance discipline and outright sprint-racing pace has translated naturally into his development behind the wheel of the Porsche.

What began only a few seasons ago as an unusually rapid rise through karting has now developed into one of the most compelling young-driver stories in the Almonte Motorsports program. At seventeen years old, Tiziano has already led a World Racing League race overall, stood on the GTO podium, and proven capable of running at the front in a Porsche GT3 Cup car.

The objective now is no longer simply development. It is winning.

Nick Persing is a Boise-based professional racing driver for Almonte Motorsports, bringing championship-winning experience across karting, open-wheel racing, prototypes, GT4, and Lamborghini Super Trofeo to the team’s Porsche 991.2 GT3 Cup endurance program.

Persing’s racing career began in karting at nine years old before progressing to national competition and ultimately the transition to race cars at just fourteen. By 2019, he had established himself among the country’s leading young karters, finishing third in the SKUSA Pro Tour Championship and earning Vice-Champion honors in the SKUSA Pro Kart California Championship.

From there, Nick moved quickly through the American open-wheel ladder. He became the 2021 Formula Pro USA F4 Winter Series Champion before advancing into Formula Regional Americas and Ligier JS F3 machinery. In 2022, Persing recorded four podium finishes and finished fifth in the Formula Regional Americas Championship, further developing the precision, car control, and technical feedback that would later become hallmarks of his GT career.

His transition into sports cars produced immediate results. In 2023, Persing captured the Radical Cup North America Pro 1500 Championship, becoming the first driver to take Radical's then-new XXR platform to victory. At the same time, he began competing with Wayne Taylor Racing in Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America, scoring two Pro-Am victories, two pole positions, and five podiums during his debut campaign.

The following season established Persing as one of the front-runners in Lamborghini competition. Alongside Nate Stacy, he scored four Pro-Am victories in 2024, including a sweep at Circuit of the Americas, and finished the season as Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America Pro-Am Vice Champion. The pairing also delivered two podium finishes during the Lamborghini World Finals.

In 2025, Nick stepped into the Super Trofeo Pro category as a solo driver for Wayne Taylor Racing, and his progression continued immediately. At WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, Persing swept the weekend with back-to-back overall victories—the second decided by just 0.006 seconds over teammate and multiple-time Super Trofeo champion Danny Formal. He added another victory at the season finale and completed his first full Pro campaign third in the championship with three wins.

That same year, Persing expanded his sports-car résumé into the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge, making his GT4 debut with KohR Motorsports in the Ford Mustang GT4. Racing alongside Sam Paley at Virginia International Raceway, Nick finished second in his first IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge start, immediately putting himself on the podium in one of North America’s premier professional endurance championships.

His momentum has continued in 2026. Returning to Wayne Taylor Racing in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Pro class alongside defending champion Hampus Ericsson, Persing has added overall victories at Laguna Seca and Road America, earned his first series pole position, and continued fighting at the front of one of North America's most competitive one-make championships.

At the same time, Nick has brought that professional-level experience home to Boise as a member of Almonte Motorsports. Competing in World Racing League GTO aboard the team’s #9 Porsche 991.2 GT3 Cup, Persing provides the program with a proven benchmark developed through years of professional competition. His experience in high-powered GT machinery, open-wheel cars, prototypes, and endurance racing gives the team another valuable layer of technical feedback, racecraft, and outright pace as Almonte Motorsports continues its push toward the front of WRL competition.

Away from the circuit, Nick studies business administration at Boise State University, a connection he proudly carries into the professional paddock—including Boise State colors on his racing helmet. What began as a childhood obsession with cars has developed into a professional career spanning some of the most competitive racing series in North America.

For Almonte Motorsports, Nick Persing represents something particularly important: world-class professional racing experience with roots in the same Boise community the team calls home.

Bryson Lew brings international race-winning experience and a deeply technical approach to his role as Driver Coach and Race Driver for Almonte Motorsports. From Formula 4 and GT4 competition to the highest levels of Lamborghini Super Trofeo, Bryson has spent his career developing the speed, racecraft, and analytical discipline required to compete against some of the strongest drivers in North America and around the world.

Bryson began racing at eight years old and quickly progressed through the karting ranks, earning numerous victories and championships before making the transition to formula cars. By fourteen, he had earned his SCCA Full Competition License and qualified for the National Championships in Formula Atlantic. His progression continued into the French Formula 4 Championship, where he became the first American in twenty years to compete in the series, racing at circuits including Spa-Francorchamps, Hungaroring, Paul Ricard, and Pau. His development also included testing a Ligier LMP3 prototype before moving into professional touring car and GT competition.

In 2022, Bryson delivered the defining season of his career to date behind the wheel of a 610+ horsepower Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 for Precision Performance Motorsports. Competing in the Pro/Am category, he scored victories at Laguna Seca, NOLA Motorsports Park, Road America, and Virginia International Raceway before taking his success to the international stage in Portugal. At Algarve, Bryson earned a North American victory before winning Race 2 of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo World Finals. His performance also earned selection to the Lamborghini Young Driver Program as one of only 15 drivers worldwide under the age of 26.

His résumé also includes competition in SRO GT4 America aboard the BMW M4 GT4, SRO TC America in the BMW M240iR, endurance competition in the Mercedes-AMG GT4, and an extensive background in both formula cars and international karting. That breadth of experience has given Bryson an unusually complete understanding of vehicle dynamics, data analysis, racecraft, and driver development.

At Almonte Motorsports, Bryson’s impact extends far beyond his own lap times. As the team’s driver coach, he works directly with the driver lineup to dissect data, refine braking and corner-entry technique, improve traffic management, and develop the consistency required to succeed over long endurance stints. His experience in high-downforce formula cars, GT4 machinery, and Lamborghini Super Trofeo provides an invaluable reference point as the team continues developing its Porsche 991.2 GT3 Cup program in World Racing League competition.

Bryson has played an important role in accelerating the development of Almonte Motorsports’ young drivers—particularly Tiziano Rosso-Orcel’s transition from karting into GT competition—while helping establish the driving standards and processes required of a front-running endurance program.

For Almonte Motorsports, Bryson represents more than a coach. He is a proven race winner, an experienced development driver, and the performance benchmark helping push the entire program forward.

Alex Almonte is the vision, strategy, and relentless drive behind Almonte Motorsports. An aviation-sector CEO away from the circuit, Alex brings the same emphasis on precision, preparation, and execution to his roles as team principal and driver. Since founding the Boise, Idaho-based team with his brother in 2021, he has transformed Almonte Motorsports from an ambitious grassroots operation into a competitive endurance racing program capable of fighting at the front of World Racing League competition.

The 2026 season marked the next major evolution of that program with the introduction of the team’s Porsche 991.2 GT3 Cup and a move into WRL’s GTO category. Under Alex’s leadership, the team rapidly developed the Porsche into a front-running endurance package, culminating in a second-place GTO finish at Utah Motorsports Campus. During that race, Almonte Motorsports also made WRL history as Tiziano Rosso-Orcel became the youngest driver ever to lead a WRL race overall and the youngest driver to stand on a GTO podium.

Alex’s approach to racing mirrors the disciplines that have defined his professional career: detailed preparation, operational efficiency, calculated decision-making, and constant improvement. Behind the wheel, his strengths are consistency, mechanical sympathy, and the ability to execute long, disciplined endurance stints. Outside the cockpit, he oversees virtually every element of the organization—from race strategy and driver development to partnerships, logistics, equipment, and the continued technical evolution of the team’s cars.

That combination of driver and team principal gives Alex a unique perspective on performance. Every decision is viewed not simply through the lens of outright lap time, but through the complete endurance-racing equation: reliability, pit execution, strategy, driver consistency, preparation, and the ability to perform hour after hour.

What began in 2021 as a shared vision between two brothers has grown into a professional race program competing with a Porsche GT3 Cup car at the sharp end of WRL endurance racing. For Alex, however, the objective has never been simply to participate.

It is to build a team capable of winning.
