Nico Varrone will take part in the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup races at the wheel of the No. 4 Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R, as the only change in the team’s GTD Pro lineup for the upcoming WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season.

The Argentinean, a Corvette-contracted driver, will join full season pilots Tommy Milner and Nicky Catsburg for the three long-distance races at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring and Motul Petit Le Mans.

He reunites with Catsburg, who along with Ben Keating, won the FIA World Endurance Championship GTE-Am title in a Corvette C8.R in 2023.

Varrone replaces Earl Bamber, who has since landed a full-season drive in the No. 31 Action Express Racing Cadillac V-Series.R in the GTP class.

Corvette by Pratt Miller’s No. 3 lineup of Antonio Garcia and Alexander Sims remains unchanged, with Dani Juncadella again joining the duo for the enduros.

Garcia and Sims finished third in the GTD Pro standings this year, with a class victory at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park to their credit.
