Phoenix, Ariz., (January 13, 2026) – Flying Lizard Motorsports Team Principal Darren Law will step back into the driver’s seat later this month, taking a break from team ownership to compete with Vintage Racing Company (VRC) in the BMW M Endurance Challenge at Daytona International Speedway.

A former overall winner at Daytona in the DP class with Brumos Porsche driving a Porsche DP Prototype, Law is joining VRC in their launch of the team’s first full-season effort in IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge.

“After having spent so many years driving Porsches, I am looking forward to getting back in one and competing at Daytona,” said Law. “I have a great deal of history and success at this track, and Daytona is a special place for me. This is a great way to begin the season.

“I want to thank Michael Eberhardt for asking me to join their effort, I was able to test with the team in December and spend valuable time with Dan and Owen. I have know Owen for many years and am excited to finally get a chance to drive with him. Both are very quick drivers, and we worked well together from the outset. This is a great event, as I always enjoy the challenge. It will be fun and hopefully we can deliver a strong result for the team.”
