DELAND, FLORIDA (June 2026): Rebel Rock Racing is set to tackle the fourth round of the 2026 GT World Challenge America season at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, June 12–14. Following the team's continued development of its maiden GT3 program, the squad is aiming to carry forward its positive momentum on the challenging Georgia circuit.
The team recently completed a successful test at the 2.54 mile, twelve-turn natural terrain road course hewn of rich Georgia clay. The two-day test provided valuable track time and helped the crew make significant progress in understanding the performance characteristics of the Pirelli tire on the No. 71 Aston Martin Vantage GT3 EVO. This development is crucial as the team continues to adapt to the GT3 category.
“We’ve been working hard to dial in the car,” said Team Manager and driver, Robin Liddell. “The test at Road Atlanta last week was very productive; we were able to make a lot of setup changes to really try and understand it better and I think this helped the overall balance as well as our confidence in the car. Ultimately we are struggling to make enough grip at the mandated cold tyre pressures but we are doing everything we can to move it forwards.”
The 2.54-mile Road Atlanta circuit holds fond memories for the team, which secured a memorable victory in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge four-hour race there in 2020. This prior success gives the Rebel Rock Racing crew confidence as they look to translate a significant level of track knowledge into its 2026 GT3 program.
“It's a track that rewards precision and commitment,” added Team Owner Frank DePew. “We’ve had some great memories at Road Atlanta in the past, and we’re excited to apply those lessons to our GT3 campaign this weekend. The team has been doing an incredible job, and we’re ready for the challenge.”
Qualifying for Sunday's 3-hour race is scheduled for 2:45pm on Saturday. The Green Flag flies on Sunday at 2:30pm ET and will be streamed live on the GT World YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/@GTWorld.
