CarBahn with Peregrine Racing has become the latest team to switch manufacturers for the 2022 IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship, fielding Lamborghini machinery for a full-season GTD campaign.
The team’s #39 Lamborghini Huracan GT3 Evo will be driven by the pairing of Jeff Westphal and Robert Megennis. In 2020, the team made its championship debut with a Sprint Cup-only campaign for Westphal and Richard Heistand.
“It’s exciting to be entering the full 2022 WeatherTech Championship with Lamborghini as our partner,” said team owner Mark Siegel. “The Huracán is the sister car to what we ran in the Sprint Cup last season, so our development work from 2021 should carry over and give us an extremely competitive entry.”
“We’re also looking forward to seeing a great new driver, Robert Megennis, behind the wheel of the GTD car with Jeff Westphal.”
“Our program will continue to include entries in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge GS class, and we will be bringing on new corporate sponsors this season to join us as our team grows and we set our sights on even more ambitious achievements!”
Megennis will be making his full-season debut alongside the experienced Westphal. The New York youngster was previously part of the Vasser Sullivan Endurance Cup line-up and has won races in USF2000 and Indy Lights.
“I am super excited to be joining Peregrine Racing, Carbahn Motorsports, and Lamborghini for the 2022 IMSA WeatherTech season,” said Megennis. “I’m eager to apply all that I’ve learned from racing in Indy Lights and from running the 2021 Michelin Endurance Cup to my first full year in sports cars.
“Peregrine is an amazing team, Lamborghini is an incredible manufacturer, and I cannot wait to partner with someone as talented and experienced as Jeff. I know everything is there for us to win races this year, and I am thankful to SailPoint, Optimizely, DataRobot, Palantir, and everyone else involved for this opportunity.”
