Inter Europol Competition has confirmed Antonio Felix da Costa in their 2025 IMSA SportsCar Championship lineup for the 24 Hours of Daytona.
The famed Polish bakery outfit has outlined da Costa in their full driver lineup ahead of the 2025 IMSA season.
Da Costa has previously entered just one IMSA race with the Jackie Chan-JOTA project, also in an Oreca 07 LMP2.
Despite the seven-year gap since his only Daytona appearance, he is no stranger to sportscar racing. He drove with BMW in the GTE Pro class and JOTA across four FIA World Endurance Championship seasons in LMP2 and Hypercar machinery.
The Portuguese driver said: “I’m very happy to get myself a shot at the Daytona 24 Hours.
“Especially with the championship-winning team from IMSA last year.
“Inter Europol has accomplished a lot in the last few years, so it’s the perfect place for me to come back into the LMP2 class, and I can’t wait to get started and work with the whole team and my teammates.”
Inter Europol’s 2025 driver pairing
During the 2024 season, the Centenary Le Mans winning outfit, Inter Europol, entered IMSA for the first time after LMP2 left the WEC full-season package.
They partnered with the 2023 IMSA LMP2 champions PR1 Mathiasen Motorsports and successfully won this year’s title after the season finale in October.
For 2025, however, they have chosen to pursue the season by their own means.
Tom Dillmann has continued with the team having been a key part of their title-winning 2024 season campaign, now as a third driver at the Endurance Cup rounds.
Bjoy Garg will compete with Jon Field for the full 2025 season, having completed his first LMP2 Endurance season with United Autosports – and claimed LMP2 victory at Le Mans.
Field has a plethora of experience in the American sportscar racing scene from Grand Am and the American Le Mans Series, and tested recently with Inter Europol.
He said: “I’m thrilled to be back racing in the IMSA championship once again… although it’s changed a bit since I last raced in the series.
“I am pleased to be racing with Inter Europol Competition too.
“They have a strong pedigree in LMP2 racing, so I feel I am in good hands with them and my co-drivers.
“Joining the team off the back of their IMSA LMP2 championship win last season, I feel we have a good package to go for that championship win once again.
“I can’t wait to get started at Daytona.”
The 2025 IMSA season-opener commences on 25-26 January 2025 where Inter Europol will begin their LMP2 title defence.
