Teams Confirm Participation in 2026 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship Ahead of Petit Le Mans
As the motorsports community gears up for the Motul Petit Le Mans at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, three teams have secured their spots in the 2026 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.
Pfaff Motorsports Returns to Lamborghini
Canada’s Pfaff Motorsports has announced its continuation in the GTD PRO class as a Lamborghini Squadra Corse customer. The team, despite a challenging year post-2022 GTD title, achieved its first podium of the season at Detroit with drivers Andrea Caldarelli and Marco Mapelli in the No. 9 Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2. Lamborghini Chief Technical Officer Rouven Mohr praised Pfaff’s commitment, stating, “The learning curve – I’m 100 percent satisfied,” emphasizing the rapid development of the team following their recent transition from McLaren.
New GT3 Model Launch
Lamborghini aims for a significant debut of the new Temerario GT3 at the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring in March, while Pfaff will initially field the Huracán GT3 EVO2 at Daytona.
Pratt Miller Expands into LMP2
Pratt Miller Motorsports will return for its second IMSA LMP2 season with the No. 73 ORECA 07-Gibson, joining a growing entry list that includes United Autosports USA, Tower Motorsports, Bryan Herta Autosport with PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports, and Intersport Racing. This season, drivers Chris Cumming and Pietro Fittipaldi have secured a class-best sixth-place finish at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.
Turner Motorsport’s Continued Commitment
Turner Motorsport, BMW M Motorsport’s longest-standing racing team, is set to compete in the 2026 season with the No. 96 BMW M4 GT3 EVO in the GTD class. This year, the fan-favorite squad has recorded five top-five finishes, including three consecutive fourth-place results leading into Petit Le Mans. Drivers Patrick Gallagher and Robby Foley currently sit fifth in the GTD drivers’ championship, with the No. 96 BMW in fourth place among teams.
