Gou Racing has become the first IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge team to officially commit to the newly eligible Cupra TCR car, having announced plans to campaign the Leon VZ in the series next year.

The family-run team, consisting of drivers Eddie and Eduardo Gou, previously campaigned an Audi RS 3 LMS TCR in the TCR class this year, finishing tenth in the drivers’ championship with six top-ten finishes to their credit.

“This step into the TCR class represents an exciting new era for our team,” said Eduardo Gou. “The Cupra Leon VZ is a fantastic machine, and we are confident in our ability to push it to its limits in the 2025 Michelin Pilot Challenge.

“We look forward to the fierce competition, new challenges, and, most importantly, making our mark in one of the most exciting touring car classes out there.”

It was announced last month that the Cupra model would become eligible in Pilot Challenge competition next year, becoming the 19th different automotive partner in IMSA.
