The Canadian team AWA has confirmed the retirement of the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R chassis that secured victory in the GTD class at this year’s Rolex 24 At Daytona. A brand-new chassis, initially planned for Le Mans, will debut at the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring next month, continuing in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. Additionally, a new chassis from Pratt Miller Motorsports and General Motors will be readied for the team’s Le Mans debut, facilitated by driver Orey Fidani’s 2024 IMSA Bob Akin Award win as the top bronze driver in GTD. Owner Andrew Wojteczko expressed anticipation for the new developments and the team’s morale boost after the Rolex triumph. AWA’s victory at Daytona marked the fruition of a focused off-season program geared towards enhancing performance following reliability issues in the previous year’s Rolex 24, with the team streamlining to one car and advancing steadily in GTD standings. By refining their engineering and operational strategies, AWA was able to clinch a memorable win with drivers Fidani, Matt Bell, Lars Kern, and Marvin Kirchhöfer at the helm, underscoring the collective hard work and dedication invested by the team and their partners.
