Reigning IMSA DPi champion Oliver Jarvis will join Era Motorsport for next month’s Rolex 24 at Daytona, completing the team’s lineup in the LMP2 class.

The former Meyer Shank Racing and factory Mazda driver will team up with Era’s full-season pairing of Ryan Dalziel and Dwight Merriman, plus the team’s IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup pilot Christian Rasmussen, in the No. 18 Oreca 07 Gibson.

The Kyle Tilley-owned operation will be seeking its second Rolex 24 class win in three years, having claimed top honors in 2021.

Jarvis’s primary focus this year will be on his FIA World Endurance Championship LMP2 commitments with United Autosports, which took priority over his potential full-season return to the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship with MSR, having been replaced by Colin Braun.

Sportscar365 understands that Era is prepping a second Oreca to join Dalziel and Merriman for the WeatherTech Championship sprint races this year, with a yet-to-be-announced driver lineup.
