Lütke brings experience from LMP3, Radicals, and TCR cars to the competitive LMP2 field. He impressed the team during recent testing, showing promising speed in his first LMP2 outing.
The Rolex 24 driver lineup reunites IMSA champion Dalziel with three-time ELMS champion Chatin, who previously claimed victory together at the 2021 Rolex 24. They'll be joined by 2014 Le Mans GTE Am champion Heinemeier Hansson, who shares a unique connection with Lütke through their programming backgrounds.
Team owner Kyle Tilley expressed confidence in the lineup, noting significant winter restructuring to manage multiple programs. This marks Era Motorsport's sixth year in IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship's LMP2 class, building on their impressive record of two Rolex wins and two championship podiums.
Lütke's full-season and Michelin Endurance Cup partners will be announced at a later date.
