The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship is North America’s premier sports car racing series, featuring world-class teams, cutting-edge machinery, and legendary endurance races. Sanctioned by the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA), the series brings together a mix of factory-backed and privateer efforts competing across four distinct classes: GTP (prototype), LMP2 (prototype), GTD Pro, and GTD (both based on GT3-spec cars).
With iconic events like the Rolex 24 At Daytona, Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, and Motul Petit Le Mans, the championship blends high-speed action with strategic endurance and sprint racing across some of the continent’s most challenging circuits. From Daytona to Road Atlanta, the WeatherTech Championship showcases the very best in sports car competition and innovation.
AO Racing competes with Spike the dragon in the LMP2 class, which runs at seven of the 11 events listed in the calendar. Rexy, the Porsche 911 GT3 Rawr, and sometimes his prehistoric pink sister Roxy, compete in the GTD PRO class. The team returns to competition in 2025 as the GTD PRO class champions.
PJ Hyett, team owner and driver at AO Racing, has proven himself a formidable competitor in sports car racing, earning the most pole positions of any IMSA WeatherTech driver in the 2024 season. He secured his first LMP2 prototype podium at the 24 Hours of Le Mans last summer, where he shared the cockpit with returning ELMS teammate Louis Delétraz.
Dane Cameron is a seasoned IMSA champion with extensive experience across prototype and GT machinery. The reigning IMSA WeatherTech GTP class champion, the four-time professional sports car racing titleholder also competes alongside Hyett in AO by TF's full-season European Le Mans Series campaign.
Jonny Edgar, fresh off a championship title-winning season with AO by TF in the European Le Mans Series, bolsters the team’s efforts in the Michelin Endurance Cup, which is comprised of five extended events.
Winner of the 2024 Rolex 24 At Daytona, Christian Rasmussen joins AO Racing for the 2025 running of the iconic endurance race, completing a formidable driver lineup.
The 2025 season marks the second season with AO Racing for Laurin Heinrich. He played a pivotal role in securing the 2024 GTD Pro class championship, achieving multiple victories, including wins at Laguna Seca, Detroit, and Indianapolis.
Klaus Bachler joins the team as the reigning 2024 World Endurance Championship champion. He holds race wins across sports car racing, and is noted as one of the sport's young stars.
Alessio Picariello joins AO Racing, already a multiple-time champion. He clinched the ADAC Formel Masters in 2013, the Audi R8 LMS Cup in 2017, and is a two-time European Le Mans Series champion.
