It was the first endurance race in eight months for Mario Farnbacher, Matt McMurry and Shinya Michimi, but the strength of the Meyer Shank Racing-prepared Acura NSX GT3 did not disappoint as the team claimed its first victory of the 2020 IMSA WeatherTech season on Saturday at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta. The win is the sixth for MSR in IMSA competition with the Acura NSX since first moving to the category with the GTD platform in 2017.

Eight months out of the No. 86 Meyer Shank Racing Acura NSX GT3 didn’t phase Shinya Michimi as he made his first qualifying run on Friday since Daytona International Speedway in January. Michimi put the AutoNation Acura NSX GT3 fourth for Saturday’s six hour race at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.
