Adam Adelson and Elliott Skeer, after a successful season in the Fanatec GT World Challenge America, will be moving up to the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s GTD class with Wright Motorsports. They will compete in the five Michelin Endurance Cup rounds with Jan Heylen, and also participate in the sprint at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach. Porsche factory driver Fred Makowiecki will join them for the Rolex 24 At Daytona. Wright Motorsports owner, John Wright, expressed his pride in seeing the team take on new challenges and is confident in their abilities to succeed in the competitive series. Adelson and Skeer had a strong season in the GT World Challenge, securing six victories and a podium finish, ultimately finishing second in the championship standings. The move to GTD class means they will face longer races, ranging from six to 24 hours, but they will be supported by the endurance experience of Jan Heylen and Fred Makowiecki, who have impressive racing records at prestigious events like the Rolex 24, 24 Hours of Le Mans, Twelve Hours of Sebring, and Petit Le Mans.
