Michael Shank Unveils New Acura Liveries

The pair of Michael Shank Racing Acura NSX GT3 cars will have brand-new liveries ahead of this weekend’s Continental Tire Road Race Showcase at Road America, with colors reflecting those available on the road car.

Each car features a sleek chrome look to it – with the No. 93 blue, and the No. 86 red. Both colors are similar to that of the OEM color of the Acura NSX GT3 road car – Nouvelle Blue Pearl and Valencia Red Pearl.

Several of Michael Shank Racing’s previous liveries through the years have displayed a chrome look and is highly popular with fans of the Ohio-based team. Once again, AERO Advanced Paint Technology has created a chrome livery for the Michael Shank Racing cars.

“We’re really excited about this livery,” offered Team Owner Mike Shank. “From the racing world to the street car world, these are very popular OEM colors. The chrome look to them is eye-catching and they look great.

“AERO once again hit it out of the park for us. It’s very clean and simple this time. We will have one more scheme before we are done this year!”

Already having taken the Acura GT3 machine from its IMSA debut in January to a race winner in June, the team is firmly focused on a strong run through the final four events of the season. That string of races will kick off at Road America this weekend.

Its recent results have not only boosted the team’s rank in the championship standings, but has also put Acura right in the thick of the manufacturer’s championship battle. Acura is just six points out of the manufacturer’s championship lead and just three points out of second.
