Monk, McAleer join Triarsi for full IMSA GTD campaign

Triarsi Competizione has confirmed that Sheena Monk and Stevan McAleer will drive the team's new No.021 Ferrari 296 GT3 for the full 2025 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season.

Former Korthoff Competition Motors driver Mike Skeen will join the team for the five Michelin Endurance Cup events including the 63rd annual Rolex 24 At Daytona, where 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans winner James Calado will complete the four-driver crew.

Monk and McAleer continue a partnership that began last season at Gradient Racing, where the duo captured a pair of top-five finishes including a podium in their Acura NSX GT3 Evo22. Entering her third season in GTD, Monk will be competing for the Bob Akin Award, given to the highest-ranked Bronze driver in GTD at the end of the season – which also includes an automatic invitation to the 2026 24 Hours of Le Mans.

She will also bring over longtime personal sponsor, American financial services company JG Wentworth, to Triarsi.

“It’s tough to grasp the magnitude of the opportunity in front of me and candidly, I haven’t felt this kind of optimism for a program in a long time,” said Monk.

“ I’ve had the chance to test the Ferrari 296 GT3 with Triarsi and it was refreshing to see a GTD team with such an outstanding level of professionalism. We’ve also assembled the most competitive lineup I’ve ever been a part of so I’m eager to combine that with the remarkable capabilities of the 296 to garner strong results for the folks at JG Wentworth.”

McAleer joined Gradient Racing last season after the sudden departure of Katherine Legge, and will continue alongside Monk in the No.021 Ferrari. The Scottish driver was third in the 2022 IMSA GTD standings, and has also won championships in the Michelin Pilot Challenge series, SRO GT World Challenge America and GT4 America.

“I’m very excited to contend a full season in GTD with Sheena in 2025,” said McAleer. “Triarsi’s well-established program with the Ferrari 296 GT3 inspires a lot of confidence for the year ahead. Having my good friend Mike Skeen join for the Endurance rounds is a bonus, and James Calado, a proven 24 Hours winner, is the perfect addition for Daytona. I can’t thank JG Wentworth enough for the opportunity, and I expect us to be a front-running car this season.”

Skeen finished third in GTD at Daytona in 2022 alongside McAleer, and brings over a decade of IMSA experience to the team.

Calado was part of the Risi Competizione team that won last year's Rolex 24 in GTD Pro, and is a two-time FIA World Endurance Champion. They'll join the No.023 Ferrari which will compete in the five Michelin Endurance Cup rounds for a third straight season. Team mainstays Onofrio Triarsi Jr., Charles Scardina, and Alessio Rovera will drive the No.023 alongside Riccardo Agostini at Daytona later this month.
