NEW ORLEANS, La. – Turn 3 Motorsport is set for the first tripleheader race event of the season this weekend on the 2.74-mile, 13-turn road course of NOLA Motorsports Park. At last month’s official Spring Training on the Louisiana circuit, it was Australian driver Lochie Hughes who claimed the fastest overall time for the team, setting the bar going into Rounds 3/4/5 of the 2024 USF Pro 2000 Championship Presented by Continental Tire.

“I’m excited to get going at NOLA this weekend for our first tripleheader race weekend of the season,” said Hughes. “We were quick here at Spring Training last month ending up with the fastest overall time, so hopefully we can keep that momentum going and get some good results here in Louisiana.”

“The last round at St. Petersburg was a disappointing end to my first USF Pro 2000 race weekend,” said Ho. “I feel we were continually improving and on track to place higher in the second race. It’s important to not get hung up on things that were out of our control and focus all our efforts for Rounds 3/4/5 in NOLA this week. We know we can be fast at NOLA, now it’s time to show we can race.”

“I’m super excited to get back in the car after a bit of a break,” said Durst. “We have had a lot of track time here at NOLA, so I’m looking to learn as much as possible and keep my head down. St. Petersburg didn’t go to plan for us in the #33 car, so we’re looking to learn and get better here in New Orleans.”

“NOLA was a strong track for us as a team when we were here for Spring Training last month, so I'm looking to put good points on the board this weekend,” said Fitzgerald. “I'll do my best to start strong in practice tomorrow and carry that over to qualifying and the races.”
Turn 3 Motorsport will go into NOLA as the championship leaders in both the driver and team standings and will be looking to maintain that lead at the end of the eventful weekend.
All three levels of the USF Pro Championships will be on track this weekend for the Continental Tire Grand Prix of Louisiana beginning with pre-event testing and official Practice sessions today. Saturday will host two qualifying sessions along with the first of three races with Sunday running the final two races of the weekend.
