Acura’s Future in IMSA GTP Class Uncertain Beyond 2026
Acura’s continued participation in the IMSA GTP class after 2026 is under significant scrutiny, with reports suggesting that next season could mark the end of its nearly decade-long competition in the series. Marshall Pruett from RACER.com highlights concerns over the ARX-06 program, linked to Honda Racing Corporation US and serviced by Meyer Shank Racing.
Rumors within the paddocks of both the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) and IMSA indicate that Acura’s GTP program faces challenges attributed to declining global auto sales and the expensive discontinuation of multiple electric vehicle projects. While some insiders believe the program may undergo a temporary suspension, others speculate that it could be reassigned to a different team capable of financially supporting the initiative into 2027 and beyond.
A spokesperson for Acura stated, “We’ve made no decisions about our 2027 programme. Once a decision is made, it will be shared.” The evolving situation underscores the complexities facing manufacturers in the current automotive landscape.
