Five drivers in running for full-time MeyerShankRac seat replacing IMSA champion Jarvis
have all been given a try-out in either an Acura ARX-05 Daytona Prototype international or the new LMDh ARX-06 that will race in IMSA's GTP class next year.
Shank said he was “looking for attitude and aptitude” in the full-season partner for Blomqvist, who is remaining at the team for a second campaign. What isn’t clear is which of the five remain in contention at the team that took the final IMSA title of the DPi era at Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta last month.
That suggests that Shank widened its search after initial testing with former Porsche factory driver Pilet, DTM racer Fraga and Farnbacher, who won the 2019 IMSA GT Daytona title driving a Shank-run Acura NSX GT3 Evo.Shank refused to be drawn on the reasons for Jarvis’s departure from the team after a season in which he and Blomqvist won the Daytona 24 Hours and Petit Le Mans IMSA enduros as well as the title.
