Daniel Oliver makes his IMSA debut at Circuit of the Americas
Circuit of the Americas (COTA)
United States
It’s official — Daniel Oliver makes his IMSA debut in 2026 in the IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge, joining Performance Tech Motorsports aboard the No. 38 Ligier JS P320 and sharing the LMP3 with a co-driver, Martin Bruhat.
It’s a landmark step in Daniel’s career — the move into his first professional-level series. Across the season he contests the championship’s Airbnb Endurance Challenge rounds with a co-driver, on a calendar that runs through Sebring, the Circuit of the Americas, Virginia International Raceway and Road America.
The debut round comes at COTA, and it delivers the full experience: all 3.4 miles of the Grand Prix circuit and a two-hour endurance format — a real step up from sprint racing, and exactly the kind of stage Daniel’s sim-to-real journey has been pointed at from the start.
Announcing the entry, IMSA noted that Performance Tech Motorsports “make an LMP3 return with their … No. 38 Ligier JS P320” — with Bruhat and Daniel in the seat.
Green flag is at COTA, with the endurance rounds streaming live on IMSA’s official YouTube channel. This is the one Daniel has been working toward. More to come — the full calendar lives on the schedule.
