IMSA: Paul Miller Racing leaves Audi for Lamborghini

Perennial GT contenders Paul Miller Racing will switch from Audi's R8 LMS to the new Lamborghini Huracán GT3 for its upcoming campaign in IMSA's GT Daytona class.

"All of us at Paul Miller Racing are excited to be partnering with Lamborghini in its inaugural season of IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship competition in 2016," team owner Paul Miller said. "We believe our passion to win and our expertise in U.S. racing fits well with Lamborghini's long-term goals. We have followed the progress of the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 very closely in Europe this year, and the development and engineering of this racecar has been significant and impressive. We fully expect the Huracán to be a GTD contender from the onset of the season and, as a team, we are very confident in our ability and familiarity with a mid-engine platform after our last two successful seasons of competition."

During PMR's time with the German brand, drivers Bryce Miller, Christopher Haase, and Dion von Molke posed one of the most consistent threats for GTD pole positions and wins. The team joined the Audi camp after a long and successful relationship with Porsche, and with PMR's new association with Lamborghini, the Italian brand has bolstered a growing GTD lineup that also includes Konrad Motorsport, O'Gara Motorsport, and Charge Racing.

"We are excited to add Paul Miller Racing to our Lamborghini lineup for 2016," said Automobili Lamborghini motorsport director Giorgio Sanna. "The GT3 is the pinnacle of our racing strategy and we expect a team with their experience and success in North American sports car racing, along with our other customer teams, to raise the level of competition and elevate Lamborghini Squadra Corse in North America."
