As the 2024 SRO Intercontinental GT Challenge finale at Indianapolis Motor Speedway is upon us, here are some pertinent headlines going into the race weekend. There will be more highlighted later on. This is what we know thus far. Yours truly is looking for a window of opportunity either during the race weekend itself, or after it, to bring you full coverage of the race, as well as all the season finale SRO America support races that go along with it.
Vilander to Join AF Corse for Indy 8H
You will recall, this was discussed to a point during race two of the weekend at Barber Motorsports Park and we heard from AF Corse driver Jay Schreibman about Vilander joining the team for the big enduro.
IGTC Points Leader Vanthoor Stands Down from Indy 8H
Originally, I was going to editorialize on this. But I can put my thoughts here, in this blog post. I can see Porsche's reasoning for this because their prototype program, the factory Porsche 963 program within both the IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship, and the FIA World Endurance Championship, is more vital, than Mr. Vanthoor racing within one of their customer backed GT3 outfits. It says in the article, Ayhancan Guven, Vanthoor's Turkish teammate in IGTC, will be racing as a part of GMG Racing's entry in the race itself.
So, that pairs him presumably in the #32 Porsche 911 GT3R to co-drive alongside Kyle Washington and Tom Sargent at Indianapolis. Also, it states in the article, Laurin Heinrich will be the third driver, a Porsche ace in GT3 cars in IMSA and in global SRO competition, in the #120 Wright Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3R alongside Adam Adelson and Elliott Skeer. Laurin Heinrich earned pole last year at the Indianapolis 8 Hours racing a Porsche 911 GT3R for Huber Motorsports.
