Inter Europol Competition confirms 2025 IMSA driver line-up.
Jon Field is the team’s Bronze driver and will, therefore, compete in the full season alongside Tom Dillmann. The Frenchman is no stranger to the team, having helped the team win the IMSA championship honours in 2024. Tom also finished second in the 2024 European Le Mans Series with Inter Europol Competition.
The Bronze-Gold pairing is joined by Bijoy Garg (Silver) for the endurance rounds of the championship, while António Félix da Costa (Platinum) will race with the team at the season-opening Rolex 24 at Daytona.
Jon, who recently tested with Inter Europol Competition, has a wealth of experience. The American driver has competed in US endurance racing, be that American Le Mans or Grand Am, since the late 1990s. Among his multiple highlights are the 2002 American Le Mans Series title, second position in the 1000KM Le Lans (2003), and, more recently, third position in the 2022 Radical World Finals.
Tom joined Inter Europol Competition a year ago, and with Kuba Śmiechowski and Nick Boulle, proved consistent and fast in last year’s IMSA championship. Finishing every round and qualifying in the top four each time, the team clinched the LMP2 title at the season finale at Petit Le Mans.
Bijoy took the single-seater route initially in the US before moving across to IMSA and the European Le Mans Series in 2023 and 2024, respectively. In addition, he claimed the LMP3 IMSA VP Racing Sports Car title in 2023 and won the 2024 LMP2 class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
António has raced in both single-seaters and sportscars with tremendous success. A Portuguese karting champion in 2006 and then on to single-seaters where he won in Formula Renault, Formula 3, and Formula E. More recently, the Porsche works driver has combined Formula E with FIA World Endurance Championship to significant effect and will be a valued addition to the team for the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona.
Jon Field
"I’m thrilled to be back racing in the IMSA championship once again… although it’s changed a bit since I last raced in the series. I am pleased to be racing with Inter Europol Competition too. They have a strong pedigree in LMP2 racing, so I feel I am in good hands with them and my co-drivers. Joining the team off the back of their IMSA LMP2 championship win last season, I feel we have a good package to go for that championship win once again. I can’t wait to get started at Daytona."
Tom Dillmann
“Together, with the team, we discovered the IMSA series and its various nuances last season, and we can start in Daytona with a great deal more knowledge than last year. With new teammates, the goal remains the same; to win a second championship!”
Bijoy Garg
“I’m excited to join Inter Europol Competition for the 2025 IMSA season! The team won the championship last year and has been competitive in everything they’ve raced in. With a year of experience in the LMP2 for me, I’m confident we can challenge for wins and championships this year and continue the team’s great run of success.”
António Félix da Costa
“I’m very happy to get myself a shot at the Daytona 24 Hours. Especially with the championship-winning team from IMSA last year. Inter Europol has accomplished a lot in the last few years, so it’s the perfect place for me to come back into the LMP2 class, and I can’t wait to get started and work with the whole team and my teammates.”
The seven-round 2025 season gets underway in January with the ROAR Before the Rolex 24 pre-season test on January 17-19 and then the 24-hour race itself at Daytona on January 22-26.
