Indianapolis, Ind. – Australian Harrison Goodman and American Zach Veach will join Czabok-Simpson Motorsport’s Porsche IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge Grand Sport (GS) program starting with the fourth round of the 2025 season at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, June 6-8.
For Goodman, it will be a return to Porsche after previously racing in the Porsche Carrera Cup in Australia, and he is also renewing his early season pairing with former IndyCar driver Zach Veach.
“I’m looking forward to getting on the track at Mid-Ohio in the CSM Porsche,” Goodman said. “I want to thank Stephen (Simpson) and Matthias (Czabok) for giving us this opportunity, especially mid-season; without them, we would have been sitting on the sidelines watching it all happen. CSM has shown plenty of pace this year, and the cars look fast! I’m looking forward to seeing what we can do at Mid-Ohio and challenging for a decent position. We are continuing to run the No. 16 on the car, which we are carrying over from the Supra we raced with Hattori Motorsports for the first two rounds of the year. It is a way of thanking Shige for the opportunity and to keep his legacy going in sports car racing.
“A big thank you as well to OrdinalGold.IO and Kelly + Partners Accountants for their continued support through the year, and I’m excited to be getting back on track.”
CSM Co-owner Stephen Simpson said, “We welcome Harrison and Zach joining us at CSM, and we are honored to be running them with their familiar No. 16 they ran with Hattori Motorsport. Our relationship with Zach goes back to his open-wheel days, and with Harrison’s Porsche Carrera Cup background, we are sure he will adjust to the Porsche GT4 quickly. They will both test the car ahead of the Mid-Ohio race, which, for sure, will help them familiarize with the Porsche.”
“I’m excited to officially join CSM for select races through the remainder of the season,” Veach said.
“The past couple of months have been incredibly difficult for Harrison after the loss of our former team owner, Mr. Hattori,” Veach continued. “Driving the No. 16 car again means a lot to both of us, and we’re more motivated than ever to carry forward with what we started, this time, in his honor.
“I’ve had the privilege of getting to know Stephen and Matthias over 15 years at the racetrack, and I’ve been consistently impressed by what they’ve built in such a short space of time at CSM. The foundation, the vision, and the drive for success are all there, and I’m eager to get to work with the team.”
Czabok-Simpson Motorsport (CSM) currently campaigns three Porsche Cayman GT4 RS Clubsports in the 2025 IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge.
