- #4 Corvette leads GTD Pro standings by 47 points

The GTD Pro title will be decided at the 10-hour Motul Petit Le Mans at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta this weekend. Seven teams remain covered by 179 points, with Endurance Cup honours also in play.
The finale features a 54-car grid, intensifying traffic and stint management for GTD Pro contenders.
Nicky Catsburg and Tommy Milner lead in the #4 Corvette Z06 GT3.R for Pratt Miller Motorsports, 47 points clear after second at Indianapolis.
Milner starts his 221st IMSA race, and his 21st at Road Atlanta, seeking a third championship after 2012 GT and 2016 GTLM titles.
He shares with Nicky Catsburg and endurance addition Nico Varrone, with the emphasis firmly on points execution over 10 demanding hours.
Paul Miller Racing’s #1 BMW M4 GT3 EVO of Connor De Phillippi and Neil Verhagen sits 47 points back, joined by Dan Harper for the finale.
The #4 Corvette leads GTD Pro by 47 points.
De Phillippi owns three Road Atlanta wins in 11 starts, including last year’s GTD Pro victory, and embraces the chaser’s role after winning January’s Rolex 24.
Recent testing strengthens BMW’s confidence, but the Endurance Cup picture may prove decisive through segment points and late cautions.
Chevrolet leads the manufacturers’ race by 68 points over Ford, reflecting season-long execution by its factory programs.
Chevrolet holds a 68-point manufacturers’ lead over Ford.
The Endurance Cup manufacturers’ fight is tighter. BMW holds a three-point edge over Chevrolet, with Porsche only four further back.
BMW leads the Endurance Cup manufacturers by three points.
At team level, Paul Miller Racing leads the Michelin Endurance Cup by six points over Corvette, with AO Racing’s #77 Porsche of Harry King and Nick Tandy seven off.
Paul Miller Racing leads the Michelin Endurance Cup by six points over Corvette.
Strategy will pivot on traffic, safety-car timing, and error rate. Ten hours reward disciplined pace, clean pit work, and mechanical sympathy as much as outright speed.
With Corvette and Paul Miller ahead, small margins and bonus points could still swing both titles deep into the night at Road Atlanta.
