Skip Barber Racing will bring the No. 16 Skip Barber Racing School Aston Martin Vantage GT4 to the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course for the O-Reilly Auto Parts Four Hours of Mid-Ohio. This weekend’s race will be the second of two endurance events on the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge schedule. IMSA Diverse Driver Development Scholarship winner and Skip Barber Race Series director Ken Fukuda will partner with Skip Barber Racing regular Will Lambros. The duo will be joined in the car by current Skip Barber Racing driver, and 2025 IMSA Diverse Driver Development Scholarship finalist, Celso Neto for this weekend’s race. Skip Barber Racing’s Aston Martin Vantage GT4 has been busy recently. Fresh off an outing at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, the car stopped at Circuit of the Americas where she made her SRO GT4 America debut in the hands of father-son duo Marc and Tyler Sharinn. Celso Neto, meanwhile, will be making his IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge debut. Currently racing in TC America powered by the Skip Barber Racing School, the Brazilian has collected three podiums in 2024. Celso Neto: “I’m thrilled to be making my IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge debut with Skip Barber Racing. After having so much success with the team in TC America powered by the Skip Barber Racing School, I’m confident that we are going to hit the ground running this weekend at Mid-Ohio.” Will Lambros: “Mid-Ohio is a fantastic track, a real old-school driver’s track. I believe our Skip Barber Racing School Aston Martin Vantage is going to be quick and well-suited to the conditions we are expecting to encounter. The team is feeling great, I’m feeling great, I know we’ve got a good weekend ahead of us.” Ken Fukuda: “The Skip Barber Racing School Aston Martin was excellent on the West Coast at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca and we are expecting that to translate to Mid-Ohio. Every event we do, we learn more about the car and get stronger, there’s no doubt that trend will continue thanks to the hard work of everyone at Skip Barber Racing.” Joe Monitto, Skip Barber Racing Team Manager: “Will and Ken have been doing a tremendous job in the car and now we get to add Celso who has been dominating TC America powered by the Skip Barber Racing School – it’s a perfect lineup. Everyone is familiar with each other and works well together.”
