GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • MEGAN TOMLINSON is making her move up the motorsports ladder, stepping into IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge GS class competition alongside her father Ron in the No. 22 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS. This father-daughter duo represents exactly the kind of family racing dynamic that shows how the sport can bridge generations while giving women a platform to compete at the highest levels.
  • The rebranded Shopify Racing (formerly TWOth Autosport) is expanding its IMSA presence across multiple series, running both Pilot Challenge and VP Racing SportsCar Challenge programs. While we’re still waiting on driver announcements for their Ligier JS P325 Toyota program, the Tomlinson partnership gives us something concrete to watch for when the season opens at Daytona International Speedway.
  • What’s particularly smart here is how Shopify Racing is building a comprehensive development pathway – from supporting Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke’s LMP2 efforts with TDS Racing to giving drivers like MEGAN the opportunity to progress through international sports car racing ranks. This kind of strategic investment in talent development is exactly what we need to see more of in the paddock.

UPCOMING:

  • VP Racing SportsCar Challenge sprint races at Daytona International Speedway
  • BMW M Endurance Challenge four-hour race
