Elliott Skeer and Adam Adelson will mount their first full season IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship campaign in Wright Motorsports’ Porsche 911 GT3 R.

The duo, who took part in all but one GTD race this year, while also winning the Fanatec GT World Challenge America powered by AWS Pro class title, will take part in a full-time WeatherTech Championship campaign in the No. 120 Porsche.

Australian rising star Tom Sargent will join the duo for the Michelin Endurance Cup races, with Porsche-contracted driver Ayhancan Guven completing the lineup for next month’s season-opening Rolex 24 at Daytona.

“It’s a pleasure to have Adam and Elliott back for another season,” said team owner John Wright.

“Their growth during their first IMSA WeatherTech season was remarkable, and they brought a great deal of energy to the team.

“Their victory at Indianapolis Motor Speedway proved they have what it takes to excel in this highly competitive class, and we’re excited to build on that success in 2025.”

Adelson said: “Coming into Daytona this year for the second time is a totally different feeling. Last year, we had no idea what to expect during the IMSA season, but we quickly found that the preparation we did was paying off.

“This year we actually know what to expect and can rely on that experience to try and bring home even better results.

“Aside from that, I’m beyond excited to be racing with Tom and Ayancan, who are both exceptional talents. We may have one of the youngest driver lineups in the field, but with that comes plenty of motivation and hunger for success on track.”

“I’m thrilled to be back racing with Adam again and building on the incredible chemistry we’ve developed on and off the track,” Skeer added.

“This season, we’re ready to give it a proper championship fight and push ourselves to a new level.

“I’m equally excited to welcome Tom to the team and help him get up to speed in IMSA. Ayhancan is a fantastic pick for the lineup, and his experience in the car will be a huge asset for Daytona.

“Together, we’re poised for an amazing year, and I can’t wait to see what we can accomplish.”
