AO Racing has assembled a strong driver lineup for 2025, with Cameron joining team owner PJ Hyett, 2024 ELMS LMP2 champion Jonny Edgar, and IndyCar driver Christian Rasmussen for the Rolex 24 at Daytona.

Cameron, fresh from his championship win with Porsche Penske Motorsport, sees long-term potential with AO Racing. "I see an opportunity here to be with PJ for a long time," he explains. "I would love nothing more than to be the guy to help bring that along forward."

The team's commitment to success is matched by their unique approach to racing. Known for their distinctive "Spike" livery in LMP2 and championship-winning "Rexy" Porsche in GTD Pro, AO Racing has quickly established themselves as fan favorites since their 2022 founding.

Team owner Hyett emphasizes their dual focus on performance and entertainment: "People may be a little confused because we came to win, but we also like to have fun. You can attract an entirely new fan base, put a smile on people's faces, and make the race car go really fast around the racetrack."

With 12 cars competing in the LMP2 class at this year's Rolex 24, featuring identical equipment, the competition promises to be intense. AO Racing's strengthened driver lineup and proven track record position them as strong contenders for both the 24-hour classic and the season championship.
