Paul Miller Racing dominant

The #48 BMW M4 GT3 EVO crew from Paul Miller Racing lead 234 laps of the 406 covered during the 10 hours race and scored 5 points at each of the IMSA Michelin Endurance mark at Motule Petit Le Mans. Needless to write that Harper / Hesse / De Philippi had a dominant weekend after Harper secured pole position in qualifying. The #48 BMW crossed the finish line as a well-deserved winner with a comfortable margin. The victory secured the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup GTD PRO Cup for Harper and Hesse in their debut IMSA season, Teams Cup to Paul Miller Racing and Manufacturers Cup to BMW.

Dan Harper (#48 BMW M4 GT3 EVO, Paul Miller Racing, 1st place GTD PRO): "What a fantastic weekend! It started great with pole position – my second in a row. The race was a first for Max and me, and it was great to have Connor with his Petit Le Mans experience on board. All three of us did a flawless job. The car doesn’t have a scratch, which is incredibly important in a long-distance race on such a narrow track with much faster prototypes. The race was a lot of fun, and ending the season with this victory and the Endurance Cup title is amazing. Unfortunately, we had some issues in other races this season, which cost us the chance to win the overall championship."

Max Hesse (#48 BMW M4 GT3 EVO, Paul Miller Racing, 1st place GTD PRO): "I’m pretty speechless and exhausted after this tough race. Everyone said beforehand that Petit Le Mans is one of the hardest races to win. The fact that we managed to do it on our first attempt is incredible. Winning the Endurance Cup title on top of that crowns this day. Huge thanks to Paul Miller Racing for the perfect job and to BMW M Motorsport for the great car."

Connor De Phillippi (#48 BMW M4 GT3 EVO, Paul Miller Racing, 1st place GTD PRO): "For me, it was something new and special to race across two cars. Unfortunately, we had technical issues with the #1 car relatively early, so my focus shifted to the #48. The car felt fantastic and was very fast throughout the race. The team also did a flawless job. That’s how you win endurance races." Source: BMW Group

Double podium for Corvette and IMSA WeatherTech Sportscars GTD PRO championships

Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports capped an incredible day at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta with a pair of podium finishes to go along with a GTD PRO championship sweep at the 10-hour Petit Le Mans on Saturday.

Tommy Milner, Nicky Catsburg and Nico Varrone placed second in class with their #4 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R, just ahead of the GTD PRO Drivers Championship pairing of Antonio Garcia and Alexander Sims plus Daniel Juncadella in the #3 Corvette.

It marked the first double-podium for the Pratt Miller Corvette squad since 2008. The result didn’t just secure the class Drivers Championship but also the Manufacturers Championship for Chevrolet and the Teams’ title for the #3 Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports group.

The #4 Corvette raced back into contention following an early-race bad break when Catsburg had to stop for a splash of fuel when the pits were closed under a full-course yellow. He stopped a couple of laps later still under yellow and handed off to Milner, who stopped again a lap later behind the safety car for a top-off and what the team hoped would be a fuel advantage later in the race.

It came to fruition after Milner’s stint as Varrone cycled through to the lead during a long green-flag run past the halfway point. More caution-free laps helped the #4 Corvette’s cause as Catsburg drove the final two hours to the finish.

TOMMY MILNER, #4 CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: "It's a great day for Corvette Racing, Pratt Miller and Chevy. It went about as well as it could have for us. I'm super happy for Antonio and Alex, and Dani as well helping with that. Those guys were basically perfect all year long. That's what it takes in this championship. Congrats to those guys. It's a whole team effort, though. You look at it and all the 4 car guys celebrate it just as much as the 3 car guys. It's a great morale booster for everyone. For us, the race today was good. P2 was about as good as it was going to get for us. The BMW had a little too much pace on us. But overall a really great day."

NICKY CATSBURG, #4 CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: "We achieved everything we wanted to achieve. It would have been great to finally have a Petit win but the BMW was one size too big for us today. I had some really cool and clean fights with Dan Harper. I'm very pleased with the job that the team did. We had a cool season. We won everything we wanted as a team. So I'm looking forward to next year already."

NICO VARRONE, #4 CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: "This was a great weekend for everyone. I was really looking forward to coming here and racing again with Corvette. This is like a family for me. Finishing with both cars on the podium is great. We had a great race for P2 and had great pace. Not enough to fight with the BMW, but we executed well and maximized our potential. A big thank you to all the team and all the crew. Our Corvette was really flying. Tommy and Nicky did a great job as always in setting up the car. It was super-fast in the race. Overall this is a great day for Corvette, Chevy and the team. Sure we wanted to win the race but today it wasn't possible so we're happy to finish second. Hopefully next year we can finish in a better spot."

On the #3 Corvette side, the focus was to finish ahead of the #81 Ferrari – the closest competitor for the class championship. Antonio Garcia began eighth but couldn’t gain much ground on the #81 given nearly 30 minutes of full-course yellow in the race.

Garcia drove the first three hours and handed over to Alexander Sims with the Corvette in the top-five but still behind the Ferrari. That changed just after the four-hour mark when the #3 Corvette team got Sims in and out of the pitlane quicker than their championship rivals. The two cars ran close together for the next two-and-a-half hours before the Corvette moved ahead for good with three hours to go.

ANTONIO GARCIA, #3 CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: "This was really tight. I would have liked a more relaxed fight with not around 10 points between us! It was a very tight race. We turned things around between qualifying and now. I knew the car was there since Lap One. We just needed to stay focused and keep getting places. We didn't have the pace to pass people on track, but we did a fantastic job... saving fuel, doing everything right, gaining positions and taking every opportunity where we could. So six championships! It's a group effort. That doesn't happen without Corvette Racing and all the teammates I've had over the past 16 years."

ALEXANDER SIMS, #3 CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: "It's incredibly intense here at Petit Le Mans every single time I do it. But it's so thrilling. The track is just amazing... such a nice sequence of corners and so many cars means that all the traffic keeps you on your toes. Our Corvette was working well all day and all season. We've had a phenomenal year. Pratt Miller has executed a fantastic championship.

We optimized pretty much everything we could every single time. Full credit to the whole team. Amazing to do it with Antonio and Dani. We had a good year last year finishing third in the championship. To go to first place this year is absolutely phenomenal."

DANIEL JUNCADELLA, #3 CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: "This is mega. I've only been a small part of this season. But it's nice to play a role in the last race. It's a big race for everybody. Finishing on the podium and helping these guys clinch a championship was the big goal. It's been great to be a part of that." Source: Corvette Racing

Ford Multimatic Motorsports celebrating the Ford Mustang 61st anniversary in 2025 were hoping to reproduce the class victory at the six hours at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The #64 Ford Mustang GT3 lead 10 laps early in the last hour at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta thanks to an asynchronous pitting but none of the Ford Mustang GT3 ever reached the top 3 in class during the race. #64 (Ford Multimatic Motorsports) driven by M. Rockenfeller / S. Priaulx / B. Barker finished 4th GTD Pro and sister #65 with F. Vervisch / C. Mies / D. Olsen Finished 5th.

MIKE ROCKENFELLER, #64 Ford Multimatic Motorsports Ford Mustang GT3: "I want to say 'thank you' to everyone involved in this Mustang GT3 program for all the effort they have made this year. We achieved a lot and third in the driver’s and constructor’s championships is a good result. Thanks to ‘Sebby’ too – it’s my first year with him as a teammate and he was fantastic. I’m proud of him and the whole team."

SEBASTIAN PRIAULX, #64 Ford Multimatic Motorsports Ford Mustang GT3: "Everyone did a great job today and throughout the season. We worked through any problems that came our way and never stopped pushing. We maximized everything and I’m really happy that we took third in the driver’s championship. Thanks to Mike and to Ben for being fantastic teammates."

BEN BARKER, #64 Ford Multimatic Motorsports Ford Mustang GT3: "It has been great to join the team again and play a small part in closing out the 2025 IMSA season. Considering where we started the race, it’s a great result to finish in fourth. We didn’t have the pure pace to fight for the win but, despite that, we still took third in the championship. Everyone should be proud of that achievement."

CHRISTOPHER MIES, #65 Ford Multimatic Motorsports Ford Mustang GT3: "We have had a good season in the No. 65 Mustang GT3, especially when we kicked it off with the win at Daytona. We gave every race everything we had and sometimes we deserved better but that’s racing. It has been a big learning curve for myself and Fred as we have had to learn so many new tracks but now, we have the knowledge."

FRÉDÉRIC VERVISCH, #65 Ford Multimatic Motorsports Ford Mustang GT3: "It is always important to finish the racing season on a high and I think we did that today. We took the maximum result possible. I’m very happy with what we achieved this season. I learned a lot and I want to thank Ford and Multimatic for the opportunity."

DENNIS OLSEN, #65 Ford Multimatic Motorsports Ford Mustang GT3: "It has been a lot of fun to be back with Ford Multimatic Motorsports in IMSA. Everything worked perfectly today; we just didn’t have the pace to win. This team has come a long way, ever since Daytona and I can’t wait to see what is coming next." Source: Ford Racing
