“Tom and Colin getting back in the same car was a perfect fit”, explained team boss Michael Shank. « They both had incredible seasons in 2023 and I think they've only scratched the surface of what they can accomplish together. Renger and Nick, who both have extensive prototype experience and have shown great pace in recent seasons, will be a major asset to the team.”
