The No. 77 AO Racing Porsche 911 GT3 R, nicknamed “Rexy”, was dominant on race day in GTD Pro, with the pair combining to win by 9.074 seconds in the two-hour 40 minute race.
It was also both drivers first IMSA win.
“I’m really proud of the team,” Priaulx said.
“Not just today, but the whole year. They’ve been improving over time, and it’s just absolutely great to see. They’re really hard-working guys. … It’s absolutely awesome to win our first race.”
The No.77 finished second in the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January and then ninth in the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring presented by Cadillac in March.
In the WeatherTech Championship GTD PRO standings the team now holds an unofficial lead of 56 points over the defending champion No. 14 Vasser Sullivan Lexus RC F GT3, co-driven by Ben Barnicoat and Jack Hawksworth, who finished fourth Sunday.
