Lütke, who has experience in LMP3, Radicals, and TCR cars, impressed the team during recent testing in the LMP2 car. His full-season and Michelin Endurance Cup partners will be announced later.
The Rolex 24 lineup brings together significant talent and experience. Dalziel, a WEC and IMSA champion, reunites with three-time ELMS champion Chatin, with whom he won the 2021 Rolex 24 at Daytona. Heinemeier Hansson, the 2014 Le Mans GTE Am champion, rounds out the impressive driver roster.
Team owner Kyle Tilley expressed confidence in the lineup, particularly highlighting Lütke's impressive performance during testing. "Next year is shaping up to be a big year for us. We were all blown away by Tobi's speed at the test a few weeks ago," Tilley said.
2025 marks Era Motorsport's sixth year in IMSA's LMP2 class, building on a strong legacy that includes two Rolex wins and two championship podiums. The team has undergone winter restructuring to manage multiple programs and aims to continue its successful run in the highly competitive LMP2 field.
