Wright Promotes Tom Sargent to Full‑Season GTD Seat

It signals Wright’s championship intent by elevating Sargent to a full-season IMSA role after two years as an endurance-only driver.

Overview

Wright Motorsports confirmed on Wednesday that Tom Sargent will join team owner Adam Adelson as the full-season driver pairing in the team’s #120 Porsche for the 2027 IMSA WeatherTech GTD campaign.
The announcement also confirms the return of the dark green #120 Porsche 911 GT3 R for a fourth straight GTD season and frames 2027 as a push for wins and a title.
Sargent replaces Callum Ilott in the season-long seat with multiple reports saying Ilott is pursuing a return to the NTT IndyCar Series, which creates calendar conflicts with IMSA.
Sargent arrives with strong credentials as a Porsche Motorsport North America selected driver and recent results that include podiums with Adelson at Sebring and Watkins Glen, a Long Beach Carrera Cup sweep, and an ELMS LMGT3 runner-up finish.
Wright has not yet named its third driver for the Michelin Endurance Cup or the additional Rolex 24 driver, and those choices will shape the team’s endurance strategy and its chance to contend for the 2027 championship.
