BHA with PR1/Mathiasen has unveiled the livery of its Oreca 07 Gibson for the remainder of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship LMP2 season.

The team’s No. 52 entry adorned Ben Keating’s Wynn’s colors for last weekend’s Rolex 24 at Daytona, in a one-off design as the FIA Bronze-rated driver was making a one-off start with the Bryan Herta and Bobby Oergel-led team.

Instead, the car will change into a blue and green design for its primary sponsor In Pwr.

Misha Goikhberg is set for a full season campaign alongside Harry Tincknell, who will be in the car for all races except the LMP2 headline round at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park due to his FIA World Endurance Championship commitments in Heart of Racing’s Aston Martin Valkyrie.

Parker Thompson, who is confirmed as the third driver for the Michelin Endurance Cup races, will also be unable to contest the CTMP round because of his WEC commitments.

The trio, plus Keating, are coming off a sixth place class finish in the WeatherTech Championship season opener.

“There is still more performance to come in the future, but for now we are very happy to have achieved our first milestone of completing every lap of the Rolex 24 at Daytona,” said Herta.

“We now set our sights on Sebring and continuing to build on this successful start to the season.”

Oergel added: “The sixth-place finish truly does not reflect how well the entire team performed over the last two weeks.

“All four drivers did exactly what was asked of them every time they were on track, and the crew executed perfectly in preparation and race operations.

“We had zero issues in any session or lap thanks to the team’s performance. This was a very strong start for our program.”
