Lexington, OH — The Unitronic JDC-Miller Motorsports team heads to Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course this weekend for Round 4 of the 2025 IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge, where the second and final four-hour endurance round of the season goes green on Sunday at 12PM ET. Returning to the cockpit of the No. 17 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport is Mikey Taylor, rejoining Chris Miller as the duo aims to build on the team’s recent momentum.
This event promises to be one of the more physically demanding challenges on the calendar due to Mid-Ohio’s narrow layout, technical corners, and limited passing zones. Traffic management, patience, and execution in the pits will be key throughout the four-hour race. With warm temperatures in the forecast and a packed grid expected, this won't be a race to miss.
ECS Joins the No. 17 Effort Once More
The team is also proud to once again be joined on site by Unitronic Authorized Dealer ECS Tuning, whose headquarters are just down the road in Wadsworth, Ohio. The ECS crew will be supporting the No. 17 Porsche Cayman GT4 RS effort throughout the weekend in hopes of repeating their 2024 podium-finishing success in TCR.
Mikey Taylor Returns to the Driver Lineup
“I haven’t been this excited to get back in a race car since the offseason! said Mikey Taylor It feels like it’s been ages since Sebring and the team has made a lot of progress on the still new to us car. It’ll be a long, hot afternoon in the seat but I am feeling positive about our chances for a good result at this headliner event for us.”
“Mid-Ohio historically hasn’t given us the best results but as an event I have always enjoyed it. We do a fun event with our Unitronic dealer ECS Tuning every year at their headquarters, which kicks off a fun week!”
With lots of preparation and growing confidence in the platform, along with valuable support from ECS Tuning and other partners, the No. 17 team heads into Sunday focused and optimistic. All eyes will be on strategy, traffic, and managing the car through the race’s evolving conditions as the team looks to break through for a strong result in the highly competitive GS-class.
