Fresh off his victory at last weekend’s Motul Petit Le Mans, Oliver Jarvis has signed with Meyer Shank Racing for the 2022 IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship season.
The Briton will join the Ohio-based squad after four seasons as part of Mazda’s DPi programme, which will close its doors at the end of the year.
“I am delighted to be joining Meyer Shank Racing for the 2022 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar championship,” said Jarvis. “I can’t wait to start working with Mike (Shank) and the team, and to get my first taste of the Acura ARX-05.
“Having competed against the Acura for many years, and watching it win numerous races and titles, I’m more than aware of how capable it is,” continued Jarvis. “With a new team, there will be lots to learn, but I am certain we will be up to speed quickly and I can’t wait to get on track and start challenging for victories.”
Jarvis is a three-time race winner in IMSA, having taken all of his victories in IMSA. He has previously also raced in the FIA World Endurance Championship with Audi and famously took a class win with Jackie Chan DC Racing at Le Mans in 2017, finishing second overall only to Porsche.
He will make his debut with the team at the 2022 Rolex 24 at Daytona, with the remainder of the team’s line-up yet to be confirmed.
