Scott Andrews Subersubs For Riley LMP3 Squad
With Felipe Fraga on DTM duty for Red Bull this weekend, Scott Andrews makes a return to the #74 Riley Motorsports Ligier LMP3 squad for this weekend’s race at CTMP.
It is Andrews’ first drive in an LMP3 since Petit Le Mans in 2021 where he made a full contribution to a class win which clinched the LMP3 Endurance Championship, this the last of a trio of wins for the team in the season (plus two more in the Le Mans Cup with United Autosports in Europe!)
It also marks the Aussie’s third appearance of the season in the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship, all with different teams after a podium finish at the Rolex 24 Hours with the Team Korthoff AMG GT3 in GTD and then a drive in the GTD Lexus for AVS at Sebring.
“I’m really excited to get back in the 74 Ranch Resort Riley Motorsport LMP3. I had some amazing moments with the Gar and the team last year. I’ll do my best to fill the shoes of Felipe and get the job done”
Wright Motorsports Confirm Absence Due To Non-Vaccinated Team Members
Wright Motorsports have confirmed that the team will not be racing in Canada due to current Canadian vaccine policies. Canada requires international travellers to receive at least two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine for entry into the country. Driver Ryan Hardwick and other key members of the team are unvaccinated and are therefore unable to cross the border.
“Unfortunately, our team will not be competing in Canada at the upcoming sprint race at CTMP,” said Hardwick. “Several of our team members, including myself, are unvaccinated, which means we are unable to travel to Canada due to their current Covid vaccine policies. At the beginning of the season, I was hopeful that Canada would drop their vaccine requirements prior to our race there, but unfortunately, that has not happened. While I am disappointed that we won’t be competing at this event, I stand by my own personal health decisions, and those of my teammates.”
