Tristan Herbert and Britt Casey will share the NGP Audi in IMSA

New German Performance announces that veteran driver Tristan Herbert will join 2018 IMSA TCR champion Britt Casey jr. to pilot their #44 Audi RS 3 LMS during the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge round at VIRginia International Raceway next week.
Herbert made his TCR debut last year, winning TC America’s first race at Indianapolis at the wheel of the NGP-run Audi.

“I had the opportunity to work with New German Performance last year with great success, taking victory at Indianapolis. I’m really looking forward to sharing the car in the IMSA endurance format with Britt Casey.  I’ve worked with Britt from behind the pit wall for a few years now so the opportunity to be on the opposite side with him as a co-driver is going to be a fun perspective.” Herbert said.

Casey, who won the 2018 IMSA TCR title sharing a Compass Racing-run Audi with Tom Long commented: "VIR is one of my favorite tracks and the home track for the team. Tristan and I have worked together for several years without ever sharing a race car and I am excited to change that. The Audi RS 3 LMS has always been a rewarding car to drive at its limits, and I am looking forward to working as hard as possible with Tristan to maximize the results."

Team spokesman, Mike Humphrey added: “We are excited to have Tristan and Britt as our drivers. Both have proven themselves successful behind the wheel of the Audi TCR, they are an ideal driver pairing for our first IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge race.”
