Sargent to race full IMSA season with Wright Motorsports

Tom Sargent will step up to a full-time IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship campaign with Wright Motorsports next year. He will share the team's GTD class Porsche 911 GT3 R Evo with team owner and driver Adam Adelson, replacing Callum Ilott as Adelson's season-long co-driver. Sargent has spent the last two seasons with the Ohio-based squad as its third driver in the Michelin Endurance Cup rounds.

The Porsche Motorsport North America Selected Driver was also runner-up in this year's European Le Mans Series LMGT3 standings in his first season of racing in Europe. He was poised to take the GT World Challenge America Pro-Am class title with co-driver Kyle Washington, but missed the title-deciding Indianapolis 8 Hour due to a clash with the ELMS finale.

Sargent said he was excited for the step up and grateful for the team's faith in him, while Adelson said he looked forward to building on the team's achievements and fighting for wins and a championship. Wright's third driver for the Endurance Cup races and its fourth for the January Rolex 24 at Daytona has yet to be announced.
