This past weekend, the engines roared and the podiums lit up at Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, TX—our very own backyard—and we were proud to be part of the action.

🏁 John Capestro-Dubets (JCD) Takes Pro Class Win

A huge congratulations to John Capestro-Dubets (JCD) for his Pro Class win in the McLaren Trophy America race. As both a Pro Class team owner and a competitor in the AM Class, JCD exemplifies elite focus and drive behind the wheel.

Wearing his Flying Eyes Luzon frames with prescription lenses under the helmet, JCD relies on clear vision and unmatched comfort to perform at his best—lap after lap, turn after turn. His win is a testament to what happens when performance eyewear meets professional racing.

🏎️ Kenton Koch Charges from Last to First

Another jaw-dropping performance came from Kenton Koch, driving for Random Vandals Racing. In Race 1, the #99 Vbrick Systems / Franck Muller McLaren made an epic comeback—starting last and finishing first in the Pro Class.

It was a thrilling moment that showcased the grit, precision, and talent it takes to climb from the back of the pack to the top of the podium—all in one race.

Part of the Journey

At Flying Eyes, we’re honored to be more than spectators—we’re part of the racing journey. From track to sky, our eyewear is engineered for those who push the limits in every environment.

To JCD, Kenton, and every competitor chasing greatness: we see you—and we’re with you every step of the way.
