Chilean racer Pino is the new hot name in sportscar racing year 2022, with him competing in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship as well. He did a single race for Inter Europol Competition in 2021, and that was such a good experience, that this collaboration continues.
Dayson has previously raced for teams like 360 Racing and RLR MSport. He knows the car quite well, which is a good thing for a gentleman driver.
