The 2013 GTD Pro Championship winning Vasser Sullivan Lexus squad have shown their 2024 GTD Pro and GTD liveries for the #12 nd #14 Lexus RC F GT3s.

New to GTD Pro, the GTD Championship-winning Paul Miller Racing has a new look and a new primary sponsor for 2024 for their #1 BMW M4 GT3.

The team is partnering up with media juggernaut iHeart – iHeartRadio is the number one audio company in the United States, reaching—on average—nine out of every ten Americans every month. The company boasts 860 live broadcast stations in 160 markets across America, including many of the markets where the Paul Miller Racing team will be taking to the track in IMSA competition in 2024.

The jump up to Pro comes on the heels of a 2023 season which saw the #1 machine clinch the GTD full-season championship title for the team, Sellers and Snow and for BMW. Additionally, they swept the IMSA Sprint Cup title as well, thanks in part to a class-record five victories over the course of the year.
