Following Dwight Merriman’s departure, the Indianapolis-based team has announced Stuart Wiltshire as his replacement to partner with Ryan Dalziel in the #18 Oreca 07 LMP2 for their 2025 Bronze driver assessment. Wiltshire, making his IMSA debut, has prior experience with Era Motorsport in historic sportscar racing, including the Historic Sportscar Racing Daytona Classic with Merriman as his teammate. His prototype experience includes driving a Peugeot 90X LMP1 and an Acura ARX-05 DPi also with Era Motorsport. Wiltshire and Dalziel will compete in upcoming IMSA rounds at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park and Road America, adapting to the longer stints typical in IMSA races compared to historic events. Both drivers express confidence and gratitude to Era Motorsport for their support, with founder Kyle Tilley praising Wiltshire’s abilities and looking forward to his performance. Despite setbacks at the Six Hours of the Glen, Era Motorsport remains optimistic about their prospects for success in future races.
