Team Hardpoint EBM has confirmed that Katherine Legge and Christina Nielsen will race in the rest of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season in a Porsche 911 GT3 R. It is the second full-time entry for the season and comes after the duo races with Earl Bamber and Rob Ferriol at the Rolex 24 at Daytona.
’m really excited to be joining Team Hardpoint EBM again, especially with Richard Mille as a partner,” Legge said. “I’m really proud to represent both Richard Mille and Team Hardpoint EBM and team with my friend Christina. I think we’ll be a force to be reckoned with. I’m very grateful to be given that opportunity and have to thank VB Enviro Care for helping us to get the program started at Daytona.”
The entry has support from luxury watch manufacturer Richard Mille. Fittingly, the announcement was made on International Women’s Day.
“I’m looking forward to what will be a different setup with Katherine and I joining forces in our own car and being teammates to Rob and Earl,” Nielsen said. “I’m grateful to the partners we have on board, especially Richard Mille, and to Team Hardpoint EBM and Porsche. I know we’ll have everyone working as a united effort to hopefully achieve some good results.”
Legge and Nielsen will race the #88 Porsche 911 GT3 R while Bamber and Ferriol race the #99 Porsche 911 GT3 R.
