. dani_juncadella + JulesGounon become RaceWeatherTech's full-timers in IMSA next year.
Gounon and Juncadella will drive the #79 WeatherTech Racing Mercedes-AMG GT3 backed by Mercedes-Benz of Billings, Montana, with Maro Engel joining them for the endurance races MacNeil coming onboard for the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona.
“Last year we had a parade of drivers through the car and couldn’t really compete for the championship. Maro will join us for the longer races and adds a wealth of knowledge to the team. With our strong support from Mercedes-AMG, those three guys driving the car, and WeatherTech/Proton Racing spearheading the operation, I like our chances every weekend in the GTD Pro Class.
Gounon, who last year won the Spa 24 Hours, Bathurst 12 Hours, Kyalami 9 Hours, and the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Championship described himself as “ amazed and thankful to Cooper and David MacNeil”. He continued: “We will give it our all to get the WeatherTech Mercedes-AMG GT3 to the front and get a big trophy at the end of the year.
