🗣️'It was Cooper’s last race in IMSA, so this is a proper send-off.' Winning the GTD Pro class at the Daytona 24 Hours was a fitting way for CooperMacNeil to retire from racing in the IMSA SportsCar Championship, says team-mate JulesGounon ⬇️
The Proton Competition-run WeatherTech Racing Mercedes AMG GT3 which MacNeil shared with factory Mercedes drivers Gounon, Daniel Juncadella and Maro Engel led 229 of the 729 laps that their car completed and won the class by 3.9 seconds after an absorbing three-way fight with the factory Corvette Racing C8.R and the #14 Vasser Sullivan Lexus RC F.
Two-time American Le Mans Series GTC class champion MacNeil has announced that he is now hanging up his helmet to focus on business commitments with the WeatherTech group after an IMSA career that counts three class wins at Petit Le Mans , the 2021 Sebring 12 Hours and finally the Daytona 24. “You have to have all of the elements to win here, car, drivers, support, teamwork and fast drivers. We had all of that today.”
Said Gounon: “To win for David and Cooper and WeatherTech is a privilege. I think it was Cooper’s last race in IMSA, so this is a proper send-off.Photo by: Jake Galstad /“You need to be the best on the track and in the pits to win this race and we were, over the 24 hours.
