Thompson and McIntosh Unite To Take on 2025 Pirelli GT4 America
While Parker Thompson continues to chase the GTD championship in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship with Vasser Sullivan and Lexus Racing USA, he’s also adding a new challenge to his 2025 calendar. This weekend at Sonoma Raceway, Thompson will kick off a full-season campaign in the Pirelli GT4 America series, teaming up with Anthony [Tony] McIntosh in the Pro-Am class in the No. 69 Ghost Rider Squad Racing GR Supra GT4 EVO2, operated by JTR Motorsports Engineering.
Known for its highly competitive fields, the Pirelli GT4 America series features six double-header race weekends with a special three-hour endurance round at Circuit of the Americas. The standard weekend consists of two 60-minute races featuring mandatory pit stops and driver changes. The 2025 season kicks off at Sonoma Raceway with a 30-car grid spread across three classes (Am, Silver, and Pro-Am). The Pro-Am class where Thompson and McIntosh are featured, looks to be the most competitive, with thirteen entries at the opening round and some notable new driver pairings set to make their series debut.
For Thompson, the Pirelli GT4 America series is familiar ground. Across two previous seasons in the Silver class, he earned 6 pole positions, 6 podiums, and 2 race wins in 21 starts, all in Toyota’s flagship GR Supra GT4. Thompson’s achievements with the platform are world-class. In 2023, he added another milestone—claiming the GR Supra GT4’s first-ever victory in IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge competition. He has also played a central role in the development of Toyota Gazoo Racing’s new GR Supra GT4 EVO2, making its competition debut this season.
“I’m excited to return to Pirelli GT4 America, driving the No. 69 Toyota Gazoo Racing GR Supra GT4 EVO2 with Tony and Ghost Rider Squad Racing,” said Thompson. “Our group brings a lot of personality to the paddock. I think we’re going to have a lot of fun out there. Don’t be fooled though, we’re fully focused on performance. Tony is an extremely talented Bronze driver. I expect big things!”
Teammate Anthony McIntosh enters the season with a remarkable list of accomplishments from 2024, where he claimed four championship wins including: (1) Lambo Super Trofeo Worlds Pro-Am, (2) Lambo Super Trofeo North America Am, (3) Porsche Endurance Championship, (4) Italian GT3 Am Championship .
Thompson and McIntosh already have a winning record together, having earned recent victories in both the Porsche Endurance Challenge at COTA and Asian Le Mans Series Race 1 in Dubai. For 2025, the duo joins Pirelli GT4 America looking to further hone their race craft while pushing for Pro-Am honors.
