CHRISTINE SLOSS Rallies From Technical Setback for Bronze Podium at Daytona

January 27, 2026

• CHRISTINE SLOSS showed clear progression in her sophomore IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge campaign, with van der Steur Racing delivering improved pace and craft throughout the Daytona weekend. The team qualified first in Bronze class and consistently ran in podium contention, demonstrating the kind of development we love to see from year one to year two.
• A late-race technical issue threatened to derail what was shaping up to be SLOSS’s strongest IMSA performance, forcing the #10 Aston Martin behind the wall for repairs while running third in Bronze class. Rather than pack it in, the team fought back onto track 12 laps down, showing the grit that separates competitors from racers.
• Despite losing significant track position, SLOSS and co-driver Ben capitalized on late-race attrition among Bronze rivals to salvage a third-place class finish. It’s the kind of never-give-up result that builds momentum for the rest of the season, proving that sometimes the best victories come from the toughest circumstances.
