LONG ISLAND, N.Y. — Bartone Bros. Racing with GetSpeed announced the team will enter the 2027 IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup season in the GTD Pro class with drivers Anthony Bartone and Fabian Schiller.
The Michelin Endurance Cup is a championship within the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship comprising the season’s five endurance races — the Rolex 24 At Daytona, Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen, the Motul SportsCar Endurance Grand Prix at Road America and Motul Petit Le Mans at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.
The announcement marks a significant expansion of the collaboration between Miami resident Anthony Bartone and the Germany-based GetSpeed organization, which is led by CEO and Team Principal Adam Osieka.
Bartone and Schiller have been teammates in multiple programs in recent years, including the Asian Le Mans Series and International GT Open, developing a strong on-track rapport that the team believes will translate directly to the demands of IMSA Endurance Cup competition.
Bartone, who made his IMSA WeatherTech Championship debut at the Rolex 24 At Daytona in 2025, has become a fixture within the GetSpeed stable. His recent campaigns have included a full GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup season and appearances at the Road to Le Mans event. For 2027, the focus shifts to North American endurance competition as Bartone and Schiller chase GT class honors across the iconic circuits of the IMSA Endurance Cup calendar.
“It’s no secret that competing in the IMSA Endurance Cup has been a lifelong dream of mine,” Bartone said. “Being able to come back to the US with the experience I’ve gained all over the world with GetSpeed Performance is a true privilege. Being alongside my longtime teammate and friend, Fabian, makes it all the sweeter. I cannot wait to experience all of the legendary events and venues of the endurance calendar, such as the Daytona 24hr, Sebring 12hr, and Petit Le Mans. Thank you to everyone who has played any part in my racing career; it has meant the world to me. I would not be here today without the support of my father, Tony Bartone, and the mentoring of Andy Pilgrim.”
Fabian Schiller, a Mercedes-AMG factory driver, brings extensive endurance racing credentials to the effort. The German driver recently secured the most significant victory of his career, winning the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring with Mercedes-AMG Team RAVENOL. Schiller has been part of the Mercedes-AMG driver lineup since 2020 and has competed in more than 210 races worldwide for the brand.
“I’m very proud to be part of this project with Anthony, GetSpeed, and Tony Bartone,” said Schiller. “We’ve raced together in different championships, and the trust we’ve built is real. IMSA’s endurance races are among the most competitive in the world, and the GT class is incredibly deep. We’re ready for that challenge.”
GetSpeed Team Principal Adam Osieka echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the continuity that the Endurance Cup effort represents.
“Anthony and Fabian have been part of our family for several seasons now, and this IMSA Endurance Cup program is a natural progression,” said Osieka. “Our previous outings at Daytona showed what this partnership is capable of. Now we have the opportunity to compete for an Endurance Cup championship together, and everyone at GetSpeed is fully committed to that goal.”
