Roxy, the fierce but adorable T-Rex sister of Rexy, the Porsche 911 GT3 Rawr, will return to the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship beginning with the IMSA SportsCar Weekend at Road America, August 2-4. While Rexy enjoys a summer vacation, his sister will take over for the next few rounds of the championship.

“Rexy has had a very successful move up to GTD PRO category and has been training and racing his little arms off, so we decided to give him a little R&R,” said Team Principal Gunnar Jeannette. “Roxy has been chomping at the bit for her first GTD PRO appearance to help her brother out with the 2024 championship. We know Roxy has a lot of fans, so we hope everyone will follow along closely for her reappearance in IMSA.”

Roxy first made her appearance last year in the GTD class at VIRginia International Raceway. She will again grace the Alton, Virginia circuit from August 23-25, marking her first race in the GTD PRO class with drivers Sebastian Priaulx and Laurin Heinrich. The pairing has already secured two wins and two additional podiums this season. While Rexy proudly displays two gold teeth for his victories, Roxy aims to earn her own golden accolades to enhance her winning smile.

In celebration of Roxy’s return to the IMSA WeatherTech Championship, AO Racing’s dino DNA scientists have been hard at work creating a batch of delightful Roxy plushies. The new plush toy is an incredibly accurate representation of the car, complete with the purple and blue nails seen on the T-Rex’s arms adorning the car doors.

Fans can see Roxy in person at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, from August 2-4 and at VIRginia International Raceway from August 23-25. The liveries for the remaining two races of the season are yet to be determined.
