THERESE LAHLOUH Steps Up to GT3 With Wright Motorsports SRO America Program

February 25, 2026

• THERESE LAHLOUH is making the jump to GT3 competition with Wright Motorsports in GT World Challenge America, paired with her coach Thomas Merrill in the #242 Porsche. This marks a significant step up for Lahlouh, who’s been methodically building her racing resume toward this moment – and honestly, having a coach who’s won at Daytona and claimed Asian Le Mans Series GT titles as your co-driver isn’t a bad way to learn the ropes.
• Wright Motorsports is fielding three Porsche 911 GT3 Rs across SRO America programs, with their return to GT World America backed by serious experience. Team owner Adam Adelson won the Pro class championship in 2024, so this isn’t some vanity project – they know how to extract speed from these cars and have the IMSA program knowledge to help rookies like Lahlouh get up to speed quickly.
• The driver lineup spans from reigning Porsche Carrera Cup champion Ryan Yardley stepping up to GT3 alongside Dave Musial Jr., to Dave Musial Sr. running the full GT America season in the #72 car. What’s refreshing is seeing a woman like LAHLOUH getting this opportunity based on her development work rather than just checkbook racing – Merrill specifically mentioned how hard she’s worked to prepare for this step.
