MLT Motorsports has announced that Jonathan Woolridge will join the team for the upcoming IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge season, taking the seat of 2024 LMP3 champion Steven Aghakhani.
Having competed in selected VP Challenge races in the LMP3 ranks over the last two seasons, which included a victory at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in 2023, the Canadian will be embarking on his first full season effort, at the wheel of MLT’s No. 6 Ligier JS P320 Nissan.
“I am thrilled and excited to join MLT Motorsports for the 2025 season,” said Woolridge. “Having observed the impressive program quality developed by Michael and Eric from the paddock, I feel a tremendous amount of confidence heading into the first round of the championship.
“I’m eager to contribute to the team’s success and learn from everyone’s expertise. Here’s to making great memories and achieving big wins together.”
Team owner Dr. Michael Thompson added: “All of us at MLT Motorsports are excited to welcome Jonathan to the team for the 2025 VP Racing SportsCar Challenge season.
“This team was built to nurture and develop the next generation of drivers, and Jonathan is an exceptional fit for that mission. We’re eager to support his growth as a driver and see his potential shine behind the wheel of the LMP3 this season.”
The VP Challenge season kicks off this weekend at Daytona International Speedway as part of the Roar Before the Rolex 24.
