IMSA 2026: Robert Wickens on overcoming disability and targeting winning | RACER Weekly

Robert Wickens’ inspiring return to top-level racing after suffering paralyzing injuries in a 2018 IndyCar crash continues with a second campaign in the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship’s ultra-competitive GTD class. He’ll get behind the wheel of DXDT Racing’s specially-modified Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R for five races in 2026, sharing with friend and long-time teammate Mason Filippi. Robert joined RACER Weekly’s David Malsher-Lopez to explain the tech behind his Bosch-built hand controls and how the system has been developed for maximum feel and effectiveness. And as fast, confident and motivated as ever, he outlines his goals for 2026 and beyond. It starts with podiums and race wins, and then, bigger picture, the Canadian ace is targeting championships.
