Myers Riley Motorsports Reveals 2027 IMSA GTD Program
Myers Riley Motorsports has unveiled its driver lineup for the 2027 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GTD program, featuring the addition of Jarett Andretti, a third-generation racer. Andretti will join veteran Felipe Fraga in the #16 Ford Mustang GT3 Evo for the full season, while 2023 Porsche Carrera Cup North America champion Riley Dickinson will participate in the five-race Michelin Endurance Cup.
As a Bronze-rated driver, Andretti is eligible for the prestigious Bob Akin Award, which is awarded to the top Bronze driver in the GTD class and includes an automatic invitation to the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Team co-owner Ross Myers expressed optimism about the upcoming season: “The 2027 season represents an exciting opportunity… The pursuit of the Bob Akin Award and the opportunity to earn a place at Le Mans are central to the team’s ambitions.”
Bill Riley echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the strong driver lineup: “I believe we have a strong lineup to build on the progress we made last season and fight for competitive results in 2027.”
Jarett Andretti, who secured his first IMSA WeatherTech series victory in the LMP3 class at Petit Le Mans in 2022, is set to make his return to the championship after a hiatus. “I am very excited to be joining the #16 Ford Mustang… and create more history alongside the Riley family in 2027,” said Andretti.
Felipe Fraga, currently leading the Brazilian Stock Car Pro Series, aims to improve his IMSA results after last season’s best finish of seventh at Long Beach. “I have been working with this group since 2019, and it means a lot to have their continued trust and support,” stated Fraga.
Riley Dickinson, transitioning from a successful career with Kellymoss, remarked on joining the program: “I’m proud to join the team and help continue that momentum as we fight for strong results.”
The 2027 season promises to build on Myers Riley Motorsports’ foundations, with clear ambitions set towards IMSA success and a competitive push for Le Mans.
