Patrón Highcroft Racing dominated the LMP division of the American Le Mans Series for the second-consecutive season. David Brabham was a driving champion for the second-straight year, sharing the team’s HPD ARX-01c with first-time title winner Simon Pagenaud.

In addition to winning the overall LMP championship, the team and drivers also claimed top honors in the LMP2 classification.

The operation, owned by Duncan Dayton, became the first American-owned and based team to clinch two ALMS teams’ championships in the outright prototype class.

The team earned three overall LMP triumphs and four class victories during the nine-race campaign.
