Monrovia, CA (Monday, October 6, 2025) – Forte Racing is pleased to announce that Eric Filgueiras will return to the team for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season finale at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta. Filgueiras will join full-season drivers Misha Goikhberg and Mario Farnbacher in the No. 78 Huntress Forte Racing Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 as the team looks to close out the season on a high note.
After impressing in his debut outing with Forte Racing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Filgueiras is eager to build on that momentum and help the team pursue its second Petit Le Mans victory.
“I’m thrilled to be welcomed back to the Forte outfit for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season finale at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta,” said Eric Filgueiras. “There was a massive amount of trust placed with me from the team and all of its members to get up to speed with a GT3 car I had never driven, and to do the job of showing pace while keeping the car safe among all of the other boxes to check. I’m proud to represent Forte and all of its partners and I’m optimistic we are going to achieve the ultimate result!”
Team sporting director Michael Harvey added, “We are really excited to welcome Eric back for Petit. We threw him in the deep end at Indy and he did an excellent job, so he is the perfect choice to race with Misha and Mario as we fight for our second Petit win.”
Team principal Shane Seneviratne echoed that confidence, noting how Filgueiras’s performance and professionalism have quickly made him a valued part of the Forte family. “Eric adapted incredibly well at Indianapolis and impressed everyone with his speed, maturity, and teamwork,” said Seneviratne. “Petit Le Mans is a demanding event that requires focus, consistency, and trust among drivers and crew. Having Eric back in the lineup gives us a strong chance to end the season with the result this team deserves.”
