Newly-formed GTD team AIM Vasser Sullivan has signed Jack Hawksworth for its debut IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season next year.

Former IndyCar racer Hawksworth, who raced with the 3GT Racing Lexus squad in 2018, will drive one of the two AVS-entered Lexus RC F GT3s in a full-season program.

AVS, which is a partnership between AIM Autosport and IndyCar team owners Jimmy Vasser and James Sullivan, was announced as the new operator of the Lexus GTD program last month.

“Having Jack join us is an important step in accelerating the learning curve for all of us at AVS," said AIM Vasser Sullivan co-owner and lead engineer Ian Willis.

“The Lexus RC F GT3 is a new platform for us and Jack has proven that he understands the car and knows what it takes to put us in the winner’s circle.
