Meyer Shank Racing is making a comeback to IMSA’s WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2025 with a revival of its factory hybrid GTP program with Acura and Honda Racing Corporation US. The team will also introduce a second Acura ARX-06 to its lineup through a multi-year deal. Following the conclusion of their contract with Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti, MSR emerged as the unexpected top choice to take over the Acura program. The decision was largely influenced by MSR’s successful track record and championship-winning performances in previous seasons. The partnership between MSR and Acura/HRC US will involve running both cars on behalf of the company and integrating a race engineering team from the brand. Although specific driver details were not disclosed, it is speculated that Colin Braun and Tom Blomqvist will team up in one car, while candidates from the GTP paddock are being considered for the second vehicle.
