A hauler fire has sidelined DXDT's Corvette Z06.R from this weekend's IMSA race at Laguna Seca. The team lost its transporter in the blaze, forcing the withdrawal of its entry and leaving driver Robert Wickens without seat time for another month.
The squad expects to return when its class resumes competition in June. The Z06.R, Chevrolet's purpose-built race car, represents serious engineering for IMSA's GTP class. One incident stops that momentum cold. Equipment failures happen in racing. A hauler fire is rare enough to sting harder.
This marks a genuine operational setback, not a performance issue with the car itself. DXDT must now scramble to prepare replacement transportation before the next event. Wickens loses valuable track time in what shapes as a competitive season. The team will rebuild, but the calendar doesn't slow down.
