It takes a complete team effort to win the Winners Circle Project Championship, and that's what happened this year for the Owego Winners Circle Project. A year-long effort, in the build of a beautiful Type 65 Coupe-R racecar from Factory Five Racing, to domination in the simulator races, to the marketing and branding campaign to promote Owego Racing and WCP. Watch how it all unfolded during the Championship Event at Lime Rock Park on Friday, May 23, 2025.
