Sixteen-year-old, Evan McKnight already brings a résumé many seasoned racers would envy. Hailing from Windermere, Florida (and splitting time in Huntersville, NC), Evan carved his reputation in stock‑car circles with 52 Legends‑car starts, 5 wins, and 37 top‑tens in only two summer seasons. Transitioning to Pro Late Models with Setzer Racing Development, he has continued that momentum, racking up 2 wins, 6 poles, and 11 podiums in 15 starts. Off the oval, Evan sharpens his craft in owner‑kart endurance events—highlighted by an overall victory in the 2024 Orlando Kart Center 12‑Hour—and road‑course sessions in GT machinery.

A relentless worker in the race shop and the gym, Evan pairs exceptional car control with the stamina essential for multi‑hour stints. For 2025 he joins Almonte Motorsports’ #9 BMW E36 M3‑GTR lineup, tackling both NASA test days and the WRL 14 Hours of Daytona. Evan’s ultimate goal is the NASCAR Cup Series; our goal is to help him get there while leveraging his raw speed, disciplined race‑craft, and infectious enthusiasm to push the team forward every lap.

Tiziano Rosso‑Orcel may be sixteen-years-old but his rise through the karting ranks has been anything but ordinary. Only eighteen months removed from his first rental‑kart outing, the Orlando‑based French‑American is already battling at the sharp end of the PRO class in SKUSA and ROK Cup, highlighted by a P5 finish in the 2025 SKUSA Pro Tour and a string of top‑tens against 40‑plus‑driver national grids. Away from the sprint scene, Tiziano showed his stamina by winning both four‑ and six‑hour endurance races in 2024 before claiming overall honors in a 12‑hour classic—results that secured him the 2024 Endurance Vice‑Championship.

Mentored by 10‑time national champion Ryan Norberg and former European F4 racer Quinlan Lall, Tiziano couples analytical racecraft with data‑logger fluency, delivering precise feedback that accelerates chassis development. His conditioning program already mirrors that of professional GT drivers, giving him the composure to execute long, traffic‑dense stints. For 2025 he steps into the #9 BMW E36 M3‑GTR alongside Evan McKnight, targeting the NASA pre‑Daytona test and the WRL 14 Hours of Daytona. Expect fierce pace, relentless consistency, and a maturity beyond his years as Tiziano helps push Almonte Motorsports toward the front of the GP grid—one perfectly timed apex at a time.
