AO Racing has announced that their Porsche GTD PRO entry, known as “Rexy,” will be returning for the 2024 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. The team has also confirmed that Porsche factory driver Michael Christensen will be joining their lineup for the Rolex 24 At Daytona, alongside Sebastian Priaulx and Laurin Heinrich. Team principal Gunnar Jeannette stated that Rexy is ready to step up to GTD PRO and the addition of Christensen will strengthen their effort in the new class. Danish racing driver Christensen, a Le Mans winner and FIA World Endurance champion, expressed his excitement to be joining AO Racing and believes they have a strong chance at a top position. AO Racing entered the GTD class last season and made progress throughout the year, but for 2024, they are expanding to a two-car, two-class effort, with owner PJ Hyett moving to LMP2. In LMP2, Hyett’s partner will be Paul-Loup Chatin, while Matthew Brabham and Alex Quinn will join for select events.
