At the GMWC race at Laguna Seca owner and currently sole driver, Zack Litchfield, had a poor showing with a 16th place finish in the final Sprint. Off-pace in final qualifying, Litchfield battled through the feature race suffering a penalty early on, and a mistake in the pits with the wrong tires being placed on the car. Through this however, he was able to hold off championship leader, AJ Weber, for a tenth place finish which was the highest of the season.
The GMEC race at Oran Park the following weekend, had a last minute entry by Litchfield Dynamics. Originally prepared to skip the race after a DNF at Orchard Lake, the team entered a Class A car. Missing qualifying had the car start at the rear of the field. It quickly moved up passing the slower Class C cars, and at some points during the race was the lead car overall. Poor fuel strategy plagued the middle of the race, and the final 45 minutes were spent trying to catch the eventual winner Matt Lewis in his Class A car. A spin late in the race cost him a third place overall, but a Second place finish in Class A places Zack Litchfield in the running for the Class A championship.
Litchfield Dynamics was formed after team owner, Zack Litchfield, was able to secure sponsorship deals with Sony and Hyundai for next season's car. Hyundai is said to be providing engines for next season's car based on their Tau engine, with expanded performance. New chassis will still be built independently by Litchfield Dynamics.
