RAFA Racing Team is set to launch the next leg of its multi-series 2025 program with a two-car Toyota effort in the SRO Pirelli GT4 America championship.
The team will enter a pair of Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO2s for the 13-round season with Tyler Gonzalez and Gresham Wagner – both part of the Toyota Driver Development program – behind the wheel of a Silver class entry and Anthony Geraci and Kenny Schmied behind the second in an AM class entry.
Gonzalez and Wagner will be a powerful pair, both being champions in Toyota GR Cup North America in 2023 and 2024, respectively.
Gonzalez is also a winner from last season in GT4 America running with Smooge Racing, which RAFA Racing announced its partnership with to start the current season. The young driver has podiumed in other classes, such as TC America and TCR, and not even three months into 2025, he has a victory under his belt in a separate single-make series from January.
Meanwhile, Wagner has an impressive résumé of his own, as the Toyota series was one of two single-make championships he topped last season. Despite his indisputable success, Wagner looks forward to his GT4 America debut and the opportunity that comes with the Toyota Gazoo Racing platform.
In the No. 72 Supra GT4, Anthony Geraci will lean on his winning experience with Toyota in the GT4 America Am class – he claimed victories with the brand at Barber Motorsports Park in 2024 and Road America in 2022.
It will be a new pairing for Geraci and Schmied, the latter of whom only made his professional racing debut in 2023, yet impressively finished fifth in the SRO TCX class championship.
Toyota partner, Endava is the primary marketing partner for the No. 68 duo of Gonzalez and Wagner.
Antolini Tech, Geraci Stone, and GO Motorsport Management are proud sponsors of Geraci and Schmied's upcoming effort.
The SRO GT4 America season kicks off at Sonoma Raceway on March 28-30. All rounds will be broadcast live on the GT World YouTube Channel and Twitch Account, in addition to broadcasting via the recently announced expanded television coverage from MAVTV.
