Reigning Rolex 24 At Daytona GTD class winning outfit 13 Autosport has announced that Ben Green will be the team’s fourth driver for the 2026 edition of the race.
Green will join 13 Autosport owner/driver Orey Fidani, his full-season co-driver Matt Bell, and Michelin Endurance Cup driver Lars Kern in the #13 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R at Daytona.
The British driver won the 2021 DTM Trophy title and just made his Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters debut this past season, where he recorded two podiums and a pole position in one of Emil Frey Racing’s Ferrari 296 GT3s.
But he comes into Daytona with experience at the wheel of the Corvette Z06 GT3.R as well; Green won two races in GT World Challenge Asia for Johor Motorsports Racing (JMR).
“I’m thrilled to be joining 13 Autosport and Team Chevy for the Rolex 24 at Daytona,” Green said. “It’s a race I’ve always dreamed of competing in, and I’m incredibly grateful to everyone involved in bringing this programme to life. We’ve got a strong lineup and high expectations, so I’m looking forward to meeting the full crew in January and getting to work. I can’t think of a better way to kick off 2026.
“The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship has an extremely competitive field, and this is one of the toughest endurance races in the world to win, but I already feel like we have the resources to be in a great position to fight at the front.”
“Ben is fast and consistent,” said Fidani, who won Daytona last year alongside Bell and Kern. “His background and success speaks for itself, he is very talented and a proven winner across many highly competitive championships. Daytona demands a team that trusts one another completely, and adding Ben gives us exactly that. We’re coming into the 24 Hours with renewed confidence and we know we have what it takes to fight for a win.
“I’m very confident in this team and lineup, and we’re all looking forward to getting back to Daytona soon.”
The announcement comes after 13 Autosport unveiled its new identity and logo. Though it will no longer compete as AWA, Andrew Wojteczko’s team will continue to provide operational and technical support to the entrant that won last year’s Daytona 24 Hours and made its 24 Hours of Le Mans debut in June.
Explaining the new logo and branding, Fidani, from Mississauga, Ontario, added: “Our new logo is more than a fresh look, it’s a nod to where we come from. It reflects our Canadian legacy, our values, and the pride we carry into every race. We wanted something that felt distinctly Canadian, strong, and unmistakably ours, and I think this identity captures exactly who we are as a team.”
