Trent Hindman and Shelby Blackstock team up for upcoming championships!
Trent Hindman, the 2019 International Motor Sports Association GT Daytona class champion, will pair with Shelby Blackstock, a multi-race winner with his Civic Type R TCR, for a full-season effort in the 2020 SRO GT World Challenge America Series in an Acura NSX GT3 Evo.
Blackstock and Hindman will compete for Racers Edge Motorsports as a Silver Cup team in the 13-round GT Championship which features world-class competitors. The pair seems to be a natural fit and each of two has enjoyed success while competing in Sports Car and Touring Car endurance races.
Hindman co-drove an Acura NSX GT3 Evo with Meyer Shank Racing teammate Mario Farnbacher to the IMSA GTD team and drivers' championship last year. Blacktock has co-driven to numerous victories in IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge Touring Car competition, and scored back-to-back wins with co-driver Tom O'Gorman at Daytona and Sebring last year.
HIndman, who is also running 2020 IMSA endurance racing events for Heinricher Racing w/MSR Curb-Agajanian, is pleased to add a full SRO season to this year's schedule. He knows how important it is to find the right co-driver in order to have any chance for succeeding in the championship events.
