Wickens will pilot a Corvette Z06 GT3.R in IMSA’s top series, with DXDT Racing

Robert Wickens is stepping up the IMSA ladder to join the IMSA SportsCar Championship with DXDT Racing in 2025. The 35-year-old Canadian will join the team for the five sprint rounds behind the wheel of the No. 36 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R, beginning with the Grand Prix of Long Beach in April. His co-driver will be announced at a later date.

This is part of a continued progression for Wickens, who drives using hand controls following an accident during his rookie season in an IndyCar Series race at Pocono Raceway in 2018, where he sustained a spinal cord injury and a thoracic spinal fracture that left him a paraplegic. The Corvette he will pilot this upcoming season is specifically equipped with a new electronic hand-brake control system from Bosch.
