AO Racing and Sebastian Priaulx – who drives the team’s GTD Pro class Porsche in IMSA – will part ways for the remainder of the 2024 WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season.
Priaulx, who was a part of the team’s two wins this season at Laguna Seca and Detroit, will step away from the #77 Porsche 911 GT3 R to focus on his long-term future with Multimatic Motorsports.
AO Racing says his increasing obligations and schedule conflicts have resulted in the transition coming sooner than expected. However, the team remains focused on securing the GTD PRO championship, which it leads ahead of the final four races of the season.
“All of us at AO Racing wish Seb the best and are thankful for the time Multimatic let him spend with us,” said team principal Gunnar Jeannette.
“He has been a huge part of our team as we brought Rexy to life, and we are proud to have our early successes with him on the effort. We are working with Porsche to find a suitable driver to partner with Laurin for the remainder of the season.”
AO Racing will announce Priaulx’s replacement in the coming days before the next round of the season at Road America on August 4th.
