CSM makes a switch to Aston Martin for remainder of GS season

Czabok-Simpson Motorsport has made a switch from Porsche to Aston Martin GT4 for the remainder of the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge season as well as adding a second GS class entry in the process. The team will field two Aston Martin Vantages GT4’s at the upcoming round at Virginia International Raceway as well through the end of the season. Gordon Scully and Morgan Burkhard will continue to drive the number 2 entry, while the number 3 will be driven by Ismaeel Ellahi and Ayrton Houk. Ellahi is coming off of his first VP Sports Car Challenge victory aboard the Aston Martin at CTMP after starting the season in the Porsche. This change is being billed as a strategic move in preparation for the upcoming 2027 season. Ayrton Houk has tested with the team on multiple occasions he is also confirmed to contest the Pirelli GT4 season ending rounds at Indianapolis Motor Speedway with a yet to be announced co-driver.
