Mission Foods GT3 Cup Trophy Champion: Tommy Ballester
TOMMY BALLESTER, our OG from San Juan, Puerto Rico has been so fun to have with the series this season! He raced with us at Sebring, Road Atlanta, Sonoma, Laguna Seca, Indy, Road America, Watkins Glen and VIR – missing just two International GT events in the 2024 season. However it was Tommy’s very impressive streak of wins and podium finishes that captured the championship. Tommy competed in 23 individual races in 2024 and never finished off the podium in any of them. In fact he posted 17 wins in those 23 races!! That’s a fantastic 74% win rate!! Our congratulations go to Tommy on an excellent 2024 Championship season.
