Acura pausing their GTP program
Acura announced in April that they were pausing their GTP program at the end of this year, bringing to an end a decade of IMSA sports car racing success across the NSX, ARX-05 and ARX-06 race cars.

Louis Deletraz: “I think it's very clear that since we started in 2025 with Cadillac, we've really discovered a lot about this car. We now understand it a lot better. I think we are very happy in the position we are now. And obviously all the set up work and also the gelling between all the people together with Cadillac, Action Express Racing, JOTA and all the drivers. It's been great to have the five cars on track, training set, and working together. It's been a big help for the program just to work together every weekend. We have two more races, let’s see what else we can accomplish for Cadillac.”
Jordan Taylor: “I think every time we're in this car, we're learning something new. With the Road Atlanta test last week, we learned a lot of stuff that we can even use at Indy. I think every time you can kind of get in this car new developments are being made. From the driver's side, engineering side, software side, there's so many aspects to such a complicated car like the V-Series.R and the developments kind of never end.”
Livery honors Acura and HRC US’s 90 wins
The livery honors Acura and HRC US’s tenure in the series; which saw Acura earn 14 team, driver and manufacturer championships, 33 victories, 43 pole positions, and top-class wins in each of the four major North American sports car races—including three wins in the series’ biggest test, the Rolex 24 at Daytona.
Teams and drivers that helped Acura to that success are highlighted on the livery, as well as the individual tracks and championship honors that Acura has earned across the decade.

For the last two races this season
