BRASELTON, Ga. (Sept. 30, 2026) – The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship wraps up with Motul Petit Le Mans on Saturday, October 3rd, at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta. John Potter, Spencer Pumpelly and Mario Farnbacher are all back behind the wheel of the No. 44 Virtual Energy Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Evo.
Magnus Racing’s Aston Martin last raced in the Six Hours of the Glen in June at Watkins Glen International. The team’s race was cut short, however, when Pumpelly got trapped in someone else’s crash with nowhere to go. The car was heavily damaged and could not be fixed in the time to return to the race, but it’s all back together now for the IMSA season finale.
“I’m really proud of the work the team has put in to get this car ready for Petit Le Mans,” Potter said. “I know we’re going to unload a car that’s fast straight off the truck. Daytona was bittersweet and Watkins Glen was just bitter, so it’s time for us to wrap up 2026 with the win we know we’re capable of.”
Potter is joined in the driver’s seat once again by Pumpelly and Farnbacher. At Watkins Glen the team celebrated Pumpelly’s 250th IMSA start, but this week the team celebrates Farnbacher’s 100th IMSA start. Every start by John Potter is celebrated.
Cars hit the track on Thursday, October 1, with three practice sessions. Qualifying takes place Friday, October 2 and 10 hours of racing commences at 12:10pm ET Saturday, October 3. Live coverage on NBC runs from 12pm ET to 3pm ET with continuing coverage available on Peacock.
