Filipe Albuquerque IMSA championship campaign

Overview

In the season finale at Road Atlanta, the Petit Le Mans, Albuquerque finished fourth alongside teammates Ricky Taylor and Will Stevens, narrowly missing a podium finish by 636 thousandths of a second. The race was marked by rain, 16 neutralization periods, and a 27-minute lightning interruption.
