Acura at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta
- Petit Le Mans is the final race of the 2026 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, as well as the final event for the Acura ARX-06 GTP car before the program pauses.
- This year, Acura Meyer Shank Racing with Curb Agajanian will field two ARX-06 machines, each with a three-driver lineup, in the 10-hour race.
- Acura and Honda Racing Corporation USA (formerly Honda Performance Development) have won 11 times at the challenging Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta circuit.
- Acura scored multiple victories at Road Atlanta in the 1990s-era IMSA; and in American Le Mans Series events under the former HPD banner.
- Acura's first win at Road Atlanta came in 1991, the first of three consecutive victories.
- Acura also scored a three-peat from 2011 to 2013 in the LMP2 class with the ARX-01g and ARX-03b.
- MSR and Honda Racing Corporation have combined for three Petit Le Mans wins, first in 2016 aboard the Ligier JSP2 Honda as part of a 1-2 result for Honda.
- MSR recorded its second Petit Le Mans win in 2022, the final race of the DPi era Tom Blomqvist, Oliver Jarvis and Helio Castroneves drove their MSR Acura ARX-05 to victory to secure a sweep of the IMSA drivers', teams' and manufacturers' championships for Acura and MSR.
- With the move to the hybrid-powered Acura ARX-06 GTP in 2023, MSR successfully defended as Petit Le Mans victors, with Blomqvist, Colin Braun and Castroneves claiming the team's second-consecutive Petit win.
- Blomqvist and Colin Braun will again be aboard the #60 Acura Meyer Shank Racing ARX-06—along with IndyCar legend Scott Dixon, himself a two-time Petit winner—to try and get the team's fourth Petit win with HRC US.
- The #93 will be piloted by full-season Renger van der Zande and Nick Yelloly—winners at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach earlier this year—along with IndyCar champion Alex Palou.
- Last month, Palou wrapped up his fifth Honda-powered NTT INDYCAR SERIES championship.
- The #93 will be sporting a special 'Thank You' livery to commemorate Acura's decade of success in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.
