Team TGM will enter the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge season with revamped driver lineup of Hugh Plumb and Ted Giovanis aboard the team’s No.64 Aston Martin Vantage GT4 and Matt Plumb and Owen Trinkler driving the No. 46.

The new lineup will debut at this weekend’s Roar Before the Rolex 24 followed by the season-opening race, the BMW M Endurance Challenge at Daytona.

Previously, the two Plumb brothers were paired together aboard the No. 46 and Trinkler was co-driving with team boss, Giovanis.

“While we will stay with the same four primary team drivers for the full 2024 season, we will change the lineup,” said Giovanis.

“Additionally, we have asked sports car racing veteran, Kris Wilson to join the team as a fifth driver for the 4-hour competitions at Daytona and Mid Ohio Sports Car Course.

“The change is a very strategic one for Team TGM, which we have been considering for a while. Sometimes teams need to shake things up a bit to infuse a freshness in the make-up of the team.

“We also have some changes in the crew and job assignments for 2024. This driver line-up change is just one of several that we feel gives Team TGM the best opportunity for podium finishes and to take a run for the championship.

“The IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge series is super competitive and 2024 looks to be the most challenging season yet. We gave great consideration to all the Team TGM changes and we’re all looking forward to the coming season.

“We have a year under our belts competing in the Aston Martin Vantage GT4, and we feel very comfortable with the racing platform the Aston Martins provide,” Giovanis said.

“We’ve learned and developed the race cars and are very excited going into the 2024 racing season.

“Daytona is one of two four-hour races in the 2024 championship. All of us really like the Daytona circuit and have had great success in the past.”
