AO Racing has confirmed that Julien Andlauer will replace Seb Priaulx at the wheel of its Porsche 911 GT3 R for next weekend’s IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship round at Road America.

The Porsche-contracted Frenchman will join Laurin Heinrich in the team’s ‘Roxy’ liveried Porsche in the GTD Pro ranks.

Priaulx has been ruled out of the remainder of the WeatherTech Championship season due to testing commitments with employer Multimatic.

So far, Andlauer is only officially confirmed for the Road America race, with three additional WeatherTech Championship rounds remaining following the two-hour and 40-minute contest in Wisconsin.

“We are excited to welcome Julien to AO Racing for Road America,” said team principal Gunnar Jeannette. “We’ve raced against him in many championships across the globe and can’t wait to see what he can do with Roxy at our home race.”

AO currently leads the GTD Pro standings with Heinrich and Priaulx.

“I’m super excited to be back in IMSA, and to join the AO Racing team which has been very successful so far,” said Andlauer.

“I’m really looking forward to jumping in the car and giving the maximum to give my best effort for the team to have a good chance for the championship.

“I don’t know Road America yet, but it looks to be an amazing track, and I hope it can suit our beautiful ‘Roxy.’ I will fight well and look forward to being there and working with the entire team.”
