Stallion Targeting Four-Car CUPRA TCR Effort in 2027

Stallion Motorsports is targeting an expansion into a four-car effort in the TCR class of IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge next year, campaigning CUPRA Leon VZ TCR machinery.

Stallion fielded two entries this past season in partnership with Gou Racing, which helped introduce the CUPRA TCR platform to the championship last year.

Celso Neto and Raphael Reis served as the primary drivers of the No. 77 Stallion Motorsports w/ GOU entry.

Eddie and Eduardo Gou shared the No. 55 Gou Racing w/ Stallion CUPRA in the season-opening race at Daytona.

Following an on-track incident that caused extensive damage to the car, the team switched to an Audi RS 3 LMS TCR for the remainder of the season.

The team revealed on social media that three new CUPRA TCRs are on their way to its shop, and is seeking drivers.

CUPRA has enjoyed a successful start to its Pilot Challenge campaign, with Victor Gonzalez Racing scoring the brand five class victories during its first two seasons.

VGRT is set to continue its two-car program in 2027, with plans to add a third entry for the season opener at Daytona.

Stallion’s expansion brings the provisional number of announced CUPRA entries for next season to seven, up from four that have competed in the series to date.

It remains unclear whether Stallion will continue its partnership with Gou as part of the expanded effort. Driver lineups for the four entries have yet to be announced.
