He spent 2020 and 2021 in Lamborghini Super Trofeo NA for O'Gara Motorsport / USRT, winning five races and taking thirteen podiums across twenty starts, and closed that run third in the 2021 championship standings after a season that brought a win and seven podiums from ten rounds. He then moved into the IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge, winning the 2024 title with MLT Motorsports off the back of four wins and eleven podiums from twelve starts. Single outings have taken him to the 24H Series in a GT3 car for ST Racing, to IMSA WeatherTech in a GT3 car for O'Gara Motorsport / USRT, and to the Bathurst 12 Hour in 2026, where he won in a GT4 car for Method Motorsport.[2]
