After an off-season evaluating various motorsports directions, Guasch reunited with the PR1 team to put a championship effort in motion.
“It’s been an interesting offseason. With all the changes happening in SportsCar racing, we weren’t sure where the chips would fall. After seeing the strengths of the Tudor USCC come together, specifically in PC, we’re really excited about the outlook,” explained Molecule Labs driver Guasch. “It’s a great schedule in top markets, with some of the world’s most prestigious endurance races and now with the unified series, the best competition.”

There’s still a few things to come together, but we’re looking forward to taking the green for the Rolex 24.
