Burkhard Steps Up to GS, Signs Multi-Year Deal With CSM

Morgan Burkhard has signed a three-year contract with Czabok-Simpson Motorsport to drive its Porsche 718 Cayman Clubsport GT4 RS in IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge beginning with the 2025 season.

The 19-year-old graduates to the GS class after a rookie campaign with VGRT’s Hyundai Elanta N TCR this year.

“Driving a Porsche in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge is something I’ve dreamed of since I first watched the 24 Hours of Daytona as a kid,” he said. “To now be part of a program with Czabok-Simpson Motorsport—a team that shares my passion for excellence and competition—feels surreal.”

Team co-owner Stephen Simpson added: “Morgan embodies the qualities we value most in a driver—raw talent, unrelenting drive, and a level of maturity that exceeds his years.

“He’s already proven himself capable of competing with the best, and we believe this is just the beginning of what he can achieve.

“We’re thrilled to welcome him to the CSM family and look forward to building something special together. Our focus is to deliver strong results on the track, starting with Daytona, and to support Morgan as he continues to grow as a professional.”

It’s unclear if Burkhard will be paired with the recently confirmed Gordon Scully, or in a second CSM Porsche.
