Proton to field second WeatherTech-backed GTD Pro Mercedes at Daytona
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Proton Competition will enter and operate a third entry at the upcoming Rolex 24 at Daytona, fielding a second Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo in GTD Pro with WeatherTech backing.

The German squad, which will also field the two main WeatherTech Racing cars in the new class, will also field the #15 Mercedes-AMG for Dirk Mueller, Patrick Assenheimer and NASCAR star Austin Cindric.

The entry will be sponsored by WeatherTech as well as Montana-based car dealership Mercedes of Billings. The dealership was purchased last year by David MacNeil, WeatherTech founder and CEO and father of Cooper MacNeil, who will be piloting the team’s other two entries.

“The second Mercedes entry came about with Proton being contracted to prepare the car,” MacNeil said. “It was also an opportunity for Mercedes of Billings to have a presence in the race as well.”
