Acura aims first GTP win at Road America
Acura is looking for their first IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship victory at Road America since the introduction of the GTP class in 2023.
Acura's last victory at America's National Park of Speed came in 2022 with the Acura ARX-05 in the hands of Ricky Taylor and Filipe Albuquerque. Taylor had previously won with Acura at Road America in 2020 with then co-driver Helio Castroneves.
Last year—and in 2024—Acura would see their cars start on pole and finish third in the two-hour and 40-minute Road America event.
This year, the SportsCar Endurance Grand Prix at Road America is lengthened to a six-hour endurance race in which Acura will field two hybrid-powered Acura ARX-06 machines with Acura Meyer Shank Racing.

The sister #93 will be driven by Renger van der Zande and Nick Yelloly—fresh off of a podium finish at another six-hour event, this time at Watkins Glen.
Yelloly and van der Zande claimed pole and third place at Road America last year.
The #93 team is a race winner already this season, taking victory in the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach.
