Alex Kenny - BIO

I have been involved with motor racing since 1994 when I was just 6 years old with my father sprinting his Jaguar XJS and Ford Falcon and then bought a 1970’s Safari 1300cc clubman which was effectively a prototype based on the Colin Chapman Lotus Seven. This was the start of our love for open prototype style racing cars.

The passion progressed with the purchase of a Mallock Mk31 1300cc in 1997 which was developed over the years with bodywork and engine size up to 1600cc with many wins and championships. This car was also my first taste of what a ‘real’ race car was in 2004 after previously racing karts for 6 years.

Since then, in 2011 we bought a Chiron 2L CN which was the start of our new love which was CN Style prototypes. As a father and son team we both wanted to race on track together and an opportunity came up to purchase a 2008 Juno CN 2L ex TFL UK VdeV Car. This was a great success, and I loved this car with many wins and records so in 2015 we purchased the upgraded Spec Juno CN which again has had many victories and a lap record. We had since sold on both the Chiron and 08 Juno and wanted to get back to a 2-car team. Early in 2022 we were looking around for a new CN style car and we came across Jonothan from Aurora Motorsports USA who introduced us to the new Nova Proto which had taken over from Norma for the CN Cars. Everything was exactly what we were after and so we made the decision to invest in a new Nova Proto NP01 Honda Turbo. This is exciting for us personally and as well as our NSW Supersports Category. The ongoing support already has been amazing and as such we are proud to move forward with the latest cars and tech from Nova Proto as well as partner up with Aurora Motorsports to be their authorised Australian dealer as Regulator Motorsports. This will allow Regulator Motorsport to support all existing Australian Norma M20xx and M30 customers and all new Australian customers for used Norma’s and Nova Proto’s to new Nova Proto NP01, NP02 and NP03. Alex is very passionate and knowledgeable about prototypes having grown up with them and raced them for 18 years and is happy to share and assist with all things Norma and Nova Proto from setup, parts and cars or a good old chat.

Alex is extremely excited for this next chapter in prototype racing in both developing his own Nova Proto NP01 car as well as building the Australian Agency with knowledge and assisting with the growth of the category.

American Autosport Association was formed to offer more cost-effective, first-class opportunities for drivers and teams in the upper levels of professional auto racing while providing exciting, action-packed race events at the highest level with the strongest Prize Purse of any professional sports car racing Championship in North America, attracting the highest quality teams and drivers. There are many avenues for young drivers to start and come up through the ranks with the Road to Indy, F4 & F3, which are all good and important venues for drivers to learn and fine tune their craft, but when you get towards the top, where you can actually make a living, the opportunities are extremely limited. Whether its due to the lack of available seats or the cost being out of reach, many very talented drivers have spent every waking moment and gobs of money to get to the top only to often find there are very few opportunities available and the current level of prize money in North American sports car racing is just not satisfactory. This is where American Autosport Association comes in to play.

Shortly after presenting the design of the new NORMA M30 LMP3 at the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans, French manufacturer Norma Auto Concept is announcing the debut of its ambitious prototype on the North American market, expected to be first seen in the 2017 “IMSA Prototype Challenge presented by Mazda.”
The NORMA M30 is the fruit of a close collaboration between the design team at Norma and the Italian engineering team at Tatuus, which led to the launch of an innovative LMP3, entirely oriented towards performance optimization and ease of operation.
Even before its launch, the technical program implemented for the design of the M30 has already attracted several European teams including the TDS Racing Team (current LMP2 leader of the European Le Mans Series) who also chose the Norma M30 for the launch of its LMP3 program.
The first car of the initial run of 10 is currently being assembled in response to initial demands, with a Norma M30 expected to arrive on American shores well before the end of the year. Norma will be actively present at all IMSA Prototype Challenge presented by Mazda events, providing partner teams with individual assistance and support.

Overcoming engine and transmission issues, the team of ex-IndyCar racer Alex Lloyd and sports car veterans Brian Frisselle, Randy Pobst, and Kyle Marcelli pushed the No. 17 Davidson Racing Norma to the overall and ESR class victory in the 25 Hours of Thunderhill yesterday in California.
The winning No. 17 Norma logged 682 laps and 1,910 miles en route to the victory and also set the fastest lap of the race on Lap 28 with a 1 minute, 38.371-second time.
Team owner Bob Davidson was called upon to take the Norma over the finish line. It’s his first Thunderhill win in four years of trying.
“It has been a few years of hard work trying to win this race,” said Davidson. “We felt really good coming into the race this year. We have a great crew and a great line-up of drivers.
“The Norma has been a good car for us for a couple of years. It really came into its own this year and we had lady luck on our side.”
Said Frisselle: “I am so happy for Bob. He really deserves this victory. I don’t know if there is a team owner in this whole paddock that is more passionate about the 25 Hours of Thunderhill than Bob. We have been hard at it for four years trying to win this for him.
“Bob has a lot of hard work into this project. We had some engine trouble at the end so we were a little worried. We were able to put Bob in at the end and let him bring the Norma across the finish line to take the checker, so it was perfect.”
