Career

Westphal made his single-seater debut in 2006, racing in Formula Russell.[4] Racing in single-seaters until 2008, Westphal most notably won the Pacific F2000 title the same year for PR1 Motorsport.[5] Westphal then raced part-time in the Rolex Sports Car Series in the following two years,[6] before making select appearances in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge in the following two seasons.[7]

In 2013, Westphal joined Scuderia Corsa to race a Ferrari 458 in select rounds of the GT class of the Rolex Sports Car Series.[8] Taking part in six races, Westphal scored four podiums, with a best result of second at Barber and Belle Isle.[9][10] Staying with Scuderia Corsa for the full United SportsCar Championship season in 2014,[11] Westphal scored wins at Belle Isle and Indianapolis, as well as a second-place finish at VIR, en route to a ninth-place points finish.[12][13] The following year, Westphal remained with Scuderia Corsa for select rounds of the United SportsCar Championship,[14] as well as driving for Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus in the VLN Series.[15]

After continuing with Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus into 2016 and finishing second in the SPX class at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring,[16] Westphal joined its customer Traum Motorsport for 2017, in which he scored a surprise overall pole position at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring.[17] In 2018, Westphal joined Carbahn Motorsports to compete in the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge,[18] scoring a best result of third at Laguna Seca as he ended the year fifth in points aboard an Audi R8 LMS GT4.[19] Remaining with the team for the following year,[20] Westphal scored a lone win at Sebring and five other podiums to secure the GS title.[21][22] During 2019, Westphal also returned to Scuderia Corsa for select rounds of the IMSA SportsCar Championship,[23] driving the Ferrari 488 GT3 to a best result of third at Sebring and Watkins Glen.[24][25]

Staying with CarBahn Motorsports with Peregrine Racing for 2020,[26] Westphal took wins at Sebring and Laguna Seca, as well as three more podiums to secure runner-up honors in GS.[27][28] In parallel, Westphal also raced for Scuderia Corsa in the endurance rounds of the IMSA SportsCar Championship,[29] most notably winning Petit Le Mans in GTD.[30] Westphal then joined CarBahn with Peregrine in its step up to the IMSA SportsCar Championship the following year,[31] as he scored a best result of fourth at Watkins Glen en route to a 13th-place points finish.[32] A switch to the Lamborghini Huracán brought greater success in 2022,[33] as Westphal scored three podiums and a best result of second at Laguna Seca and Road America, ending the year seventh in GTD.[34][35]

Moving back to Michelin Pilot Challenge for 2023 with CarBahn with Peregrine,[36] Westphal scored a best result of fourth at Detroit and finished the year ninth in points at the wheel of a Porsche 718 Cayman.[37] Having switched to BMW machinery for the 2024 season,[38] the crew scored a lone win at Indianapolis and a third-place finish at Road Atlanta to round out the year 11th in points.[39][40] In 2025, Westphal continued with the team for his sixth full-time season in the series,[41] taking wins at Sebring and Mosport, as well as finishing third at Watkins Glen to secure runner-up honors in GS.[42][43]

Westphal remained with CarBahn with Peregrine Racing to continue racing in the GS class of the Michelin Pilot Challenge in 2026.[44]
