Performance Tech Motorsports owner Brent O’Neill and his drivers are 10 hours away from achieving perfection.

With seven PC wins from seven races in the No. 38 ORECA FLM09-Chevy driven by James French, Pato O’Ward, and Kyle Masson at the endurance events, O’Neill’s program could achieve a first in IMSA’s premier championship by sweeping every round in a single season if they win Petit Le Mans.

They would join the almighty All American Racers in the perfection column after Dan Gurney’s Eagle Mk III-Toyota GTP car won every IMSA race it entered in 1993, but there is a distinction to be made. AAR won 10 races in 1993, and was unbeaten, but the team skipped the 11th round, held at Road America, which was won by Joest Racing’s Porsche 962.

Provided Performance Tech can go 8-for-8, it would own a record that has only been matched by teams in IMSA’s support series. At the top, O’Neill, French, O’Ward, and Masson would stand alone. Considering the fact that IMSA will delete the PC class at the conclusion of Petit Le Mans, French likes the idea of bidding farewell with a record in hand.

“I think it would be an excellent way to close out the PC class, especially us for us moving forward since we’re working to go into the Prototype class, it would be a great record for the team to have,” the Wisconsin native (pictured above celebrating his latest pole at Petit) told RACER.

With O’Neill currently evaluating WEC-spec LMP2s to purchase for Performance Tech’s move to the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s top class, French is confident the team’s capabilities will translate to strong outings in a new class.

“We’re shopping for a car, and we’re not sure if it’s Daytona, or Daytona and more races, but it’s good to be looking for a car to have that we can race however many events we are capable of doing,” he said. “The PC class is a great place for teams to build themselves and get ready to go up and have a head start compared to teams that haven’t run prototypes.”

French also credits his time in PC for his development as a promising young talent who reaped the maximum benefits from his time in the training class.

“I think back to the first time I did this race in a PC, and I was completely lost, nervous when I got in the car, and now I’m enjoying myself – I can get those extra tenths out of myself and we all enjoy working together. It feels like I’ve come a long way here,” he said.

“It’s not like it’s my ego versus his ego; we’re relaxed and have developed great chemistry. It’s not that high-pressure environment. The goal is to keep the team together with Pato and Kyle; the camaraderie we have isn’t something you’d want to break up.”
