Roe Closes 2026 Season with P4 at Petit Le Mans
Indianapolis, IN (Oct. 5, 2026) – James Roe closed out his 2026 racing season with a fourth-place GTD finish at Motul Petit Le Mans, capping a strong year of IMSA endurance competition with Lone Star Racing and the No. 80 Mercedes-AMG GT3. The 10-hour finale at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta featured changing conditions throughout, including rain, lightning delays and a record number of caution periods.
Roe charged from 14th to fourth during his stint to help put the No. 80 in contention. Despite late-race pit lane challenges, Roe, Luca Stolz and Lin Hodenius finished just off the podium, giving them their second P4 finish of the season. Lone Star Racing’s consistent campaign of top-ten finishes also contributed to Mercedes-AMG securing the 2026 IMSA GTD Manufacturer Championship.
James Roe: “Petit was a crazy race from start to finish, but we kept fighting all day. I had a really fun stint and we definitely had a shot at the podium. It’s tough to come that close, but still a great way to finish the season for the whole Lone Star crew. I’ve really enjoyed being part of the program this year and I’m proud of what we accomplished. A big thank you to the entire team, my fellow drivers, and all of my partners for making this season possible.”
