Korthoff Preston Motorsports heads to upstate New York for the next round of IMSA’s Endurance Championship, chasing another podium finish. After a 4th place at Laguna Seca last month, the No. 32 Mercedes-AMG is ready to bring their A-game to one of North America’s most challenging and iconic tracks.
Nicknamed “The Glen,” this legendary circuit is celebrated for its history in American motorsports. Home to IMSA’s third endurance race of the season, The Glen offers a demanding layout with fast straights, technical turns, and elevation changes that challenge both driver skill and bravery. Set in the beautiful Finger Lakes Region, Watkins Glen International is a must-visit destination for fans and racers alike.
After a month-long break from IMSA competition, Korthoff Preston Motorsports, currently fourth in both the overall championship and endurance points, is eager to be back on track. Watkins Glen International promises a riveting backdrop for KPM as they compete in the prestigious Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen. Known for their meticulous preparation and competitive spirit, the team is ready for the challenges of this celebrated circuit.
