ERIKA HOFFMANN Launches Porsche Sprint Career with Double Fourth at Sebring

March 3, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

ERIKA HOFFMANN made an impressive Porsche Sprint Challenge North America debut at Sebring, securing back-to-back fourth place finishes in the Cayman Pro/Am class with Kellymoss Racing. The Canadian driver consistently improved throughout practice sessions, dropping almost four seconds from her initial times and qualifying fourth in class. Her weekend showed serious promise as she battled wheel-to-wheel for podium positions in both races.
The progression we saw from HOFFMANN tells the real story here – this wasn’t beginner’s luck but methodical improvement from a driver who knows how to adapt. She came from Formula Woman victory in the UK and GT Cup success to World Racing League class wins, proving she can extract performance from different machinery. At Sebring, she was genuinely racing for podium spots, not just participating, which sets her apart from drivers simply buying seat time.
What’s encouraging is how HOFFMANN held her ground in genuine racing situations – defending against Bill Fenech’s advances while hunting down Anna Cecchi for a podium spot. She set personal best lap times mid-race while under pressure, showing the racecraft that translates across series. With iconic venues like Circuit of the Americas and Watkins Glen coming up, we’re watching a driver who could genuinely challenge for wins once she gets fully dialed in.
