Todd Coleman will make the move to IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge competition next year, having been confirmed alongside Conrad Grunewald in an Aston Martin Vantage GT4 run by Archangel Motorsports.

Entered under the newly formed Todd Coleman Racing banner, Coleman and Grunewald are confirmed for the season-opener at Daytona International Speedway and will continue in the series at selected events.

Coleman recently closed out a season in Pirelli GT4 America and GT America powered by AWS, co-driving alongside Aaron Telitz in a Toyota GR Supra GT4 run by Smooge Racing, scoring three podium finishes.

“I am constantly looking to improve as a driver, and the only way to truly improve is to race against the best, and the best always show up for the Michelin Pilot Challenge four-hour endurance race at Daytona,” said Coleman.

“We spent a significant amount of the off-season putting together a program that we believe will be a podium and championship contender.”

GT racing veteran Grunewald, meanwhile, will make his series return for the first time since 2014.

“I’m really looking forward to racing with Todd and the TCR team at Daytona,” he said. “Todd has been improving every weekend since he started racing a few years ago, and it seems the Aston Martin platform suits his driving style.

“The last few years I have been driving GT3, but I have heard great things about the GT4 platform, so I am excited to have the opportunity to race it at such an iconic track.”

The program is set to be operated by the Mike Johnson-led Archangel squad, which previously ran VOLT Racing’s Aston Martin effort in the series prior to its switch to Wright Motorsports in 2022.

Coleman added: “A big key to having the right foundation as we start this endeavor is partnering with Mike Johnson and the Archangel Motorsports team, and Aston Martin Racing, all of whom know how to win.

“For me, life has become about the experiences; racing with Conrad and the Archangel Team at Daytona in my first-ever endurance race is certainly going to go down as one of my more epic experiences.”
