Trackhouse, which also has teams in NASCAR and MotoGP, will partner with TF Sport for the “Trackhouse by TF Sport” effort in the 62nd Rolex 24 At Daytona.
This will be the third Rolex 24 start for 2021 NTT INDYCAR SERIES Rookie of the Y,ar McLaughlin, who raced in the LMP2 class for Tower Motorsport in 2023 and 2024. McLaughlin and Trackhouse NASCAR Cup Series driver Van Gisbergen, both from New Zealand, both formerly competed in the Supercars Championship.
“When the opportunity came up from General Motors to run with Ben, Connor and Shane, I jumped at it straight away,” McLaughlin said. “I’ve always wanted to run an endurance race in a Chevrolet Corvette, and I could not imagine a better group to join. I am confident we have a real chance of winning a Rolex with this team.
“Shane and I have so much history racing against each other, including some time as teammates. He is one of the best racers I’ve ever competed against, so it’ll be great to be on his side again for Daytona. Connor is a young star who’s going to be around for a long time, and Ben has won Le Mans and a World Championship in a Corvette. We’re going to have some fun.”
The Trackhouse Racing Powered by TF Sport team makes its on-track debut during a three-day test, the Roar Before the Rolex 24 on Jan. 16-19.
