Mason Filippi x Robert Wickens IMSA GTD Sprint Races

Wickens will share the #36 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R with co-driver Mason Filippi at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, as well as the upcoming sprint rounds at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, VIRginia International Raceway, and Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He will continue to drive a specially-adapted Corvette chassis featuring next-generation hand controls developed by Bosch, in cooperation with General Motors and Pratt Miller Motorsports.

Last year marked Wickens’ return to the top IMSA series for the first time since 2017, and the first time since he suffered a life-changing spinal cord injury during the 2018 NTT IndyCar Series race at Pocono Raceway. In his first race weekend behind the wheel of the Corvette Z06 GT3.R, he turned in the fastest lap in practice, but accident damage during the race helped relegate Wickens and co-driver Tommy Milner to 15th place at Long Beach.

The 2023 IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge TCR co-champion finished all five races for DXDT Racing, recording a best finish of fourth at his home race in CTMP.

Filippi was Wickens’ teammate from 2022 to 2024 at Bryan Herta Autosport, finishing second in the TCR standings in all three years. Wickens and Filippi shared a factory-supported Hyundai Elantra N TCR at last year’s Nürburgring 24 Hours, where they finished 25th overall.

DXDT Racing is coming off a top ten finish at the most recent Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, where Filippi, Charlie Eastwood, and Salih Yoluç finished ninth in GTD.
