Lamborghini factory driver Andrea Caldarelli has returned to Paul Miller Racing for his third consecutive Rolex 24 At Daytona in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

After clinching the 2018 IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge title, TeamTGM is eager to return to IMSA competition and build on its success in 2019.

Two-time IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Champion Christina Nielsen will join the No. 57 Meyer Shank Racing (MSR) Acura NSX GT3 Evo line up for the 57th running of the Rolex 24 At Daytona next month.

Competitors in the CAMS Australian GT Championship will qualify to gain valuable laps of Bathurst’s iconic Mount Panorama in late 2019, with the recent signing of an arrangement with Challenge Bathurst promoter Yeehah Events to have four dedicated sessions for GT3, GT4 and Trofeo Challenge cars that have competed within the 2019 season.
