DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. RAFA Racing is making a full season IMSA debut in 2025, beginning with six drivers taking center stage at Daytona Inl Speedway in three cars and two different championships in January.

Matt Dicken will join Porter and Porto in the VP Racing SportsCar Challenge with an LMP3 class entry.

Porto turned his attention to sports car racing in 2024, finishing third in the Pro Class of Lamborghini Super Trofeo after beginning on the open-wheel path. The Brazilian driver was the USF2000 champion in 2021, where he also finished second in 2023. Porto was the runner-up in the U.S. Formula 4 Championship in 2019 after competing for most of the season as a 15-year-old. Like his teammate Porter, the 21-year-old Porto will be competing in open manufacturer competition for the first time.

Dicken returns to the IMSA paddock for the 2025 season, where he has competed across multiple platforms as a bronze-rated driver. Dickens past history includes Lamborghini Super Trofeo, Prototype Challenge, and the precursor to Michelin Pilot Challenge, among others.

Martinez and Jonsin team for the full season in Michelin Pilot Challenge, with both driving a Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO2 for the first time. Martinez was one of the busiest bronze-rated drivers in motorsports a season ago, competing domestically in Porsche Sprint Challenge and internationally in SRO GT4 European Series presented by RAFA Racing Club.

Jonsin and Martinez competed against each other on the track in Porsche Sprint Challenge. Off track, Jonsin has topped music charts as a producer for Lil Wayne, T.I., Usher, Beyonce, Kelly Rowland and more, winning a Grammy for his work on Lil Waynes 2008 single Lollipop while continuously finding time for sports car racing.

The line-up for Toyota GR Supra EVO2 machines, along with Dickens Ligier JS P320, is just the opening salvo for the 2025 RAFA Racing line-up.
