Andy Lally, the 2001 Sports Racing Prototype II driver champion in the
Grand American Road Racing Association, was chosen by G&W Motorsport and endurance sports car legend Price Cobb to help them develop a brand-new chassis, the Picchio, for that class in 2002.

In addition, KnightHawk Racing called upon Lally for its effort at the 2002 12 Hours of Sebring, where he finished fourth in the P675 class.

Lally was also signed to drive for the factory Lexus team in Grand Am Cup competition in 2002. He won the pole for the Sports Touring 1 class at Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, leading a historic one-two-three qualifying result for Lexus at that race.

In winning the 2001 Sports Racing Prototype II driver championship, Lally posted three victories and qualified on the pole four times. He had nine podium finishes in the 10 events, and never finished worst than fourth all season.
