Moorespeed Expands To Two Cars In IMSA Porsche GT3 Program
Racing program Moorespeed will expand its participation in the IMSA Porsche GT3 Challenge USA by Yokohama to include two cars.
Rob Ferriol joins Moorespeed in IMSA Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge competition for the remainder of the season, beginning at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Montreal, Canada, from June 7-9. Ferriol joins full-season Moorespeed driver Riley Dickinson as a Moorespeed teammate.
The addition fulfills a stated goal from the team last fall to pair an experienced driver with the 16-year-old Dickinson as he strives for a Platinum class championship for cars built between 2017 and 2019.
Ferriol will field the No. 5 Moorespeed/GridRival Porsche 911 GT3 Cup in the Gold class, which is for 911 GT3 Cup cars built between 2014 and 2016.
Ferriol comes to Moorespeed after opening the season running with TPC Racing. The change in teams is amicable for Ferriol, who worked closely with TPC Racing and Moorespeed in a collaboration to make the move for 2019, according to a team release.
This weekend’s doubleheader at Montreal is part of the FIA Formula One Canadian Grand Prix. The trip to the Canadian track is also a first for Moorespeed.
