Christina Lam got into motorsports like a lot of us: autocross, track days and eventually club racing. For 2025, her career takes an exciting turn: Her IMSA debut.
Christina will join Rockwell Autosport Development in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge, where she will be behind the wheel of the team’s No. 10 Audi RS3 LMS TCR Gen 2.
Not familiar …
That's so cool! Good for her.
She's pretty much achieved the dream.
Good for her; I seem to recall she commented on the forum a few times.
Another grassroots to pro Motorsports story! Very cool.
Excellent! She's good people and deserves success.
Best wishes for an awesome season!!

Well, since you offered. I'd like to know more about the car and how it compares the what you've driven before.
I'd also like to know what the IMSA experience is like compared to other series you've raced in.
Is it OK that I didn't phrase my response as a question?

I would love to here how your debrief session go.
I've twice been lucky enough to have an actual race engineer give me feedback and having that was amazing.
We love to see it. 
Enjoy the experience. It's something completely new on that level.
Can't wait to hear the feedback on the whole thing. What surprised you, what you would change, and what you'll never forget from the weekend. Sounds like a great article for the mag.
congratulations and good luck!

Its an 2nd gen Audi RS3 TCR! Its my first TCR car altho I have driven several TC cars including the Honda and the Hyundai. FWD is def different from my E36/46 M3 background but its easy to adapt. The biggest changes are manual brakes, motorsports ABS, and throttle out on oversteer. Not too unlike the TC cars, just with more power!
The IMSA experience is definitely something else!! It has been super cool to be here with the big Weathertech teams, and sharing the paddock with drivers I've looked up to for years! I've been an Eversley fan since I started driving and its a bit unreal to think I'll be competing against him! And while we've just started with the Roar, it is super fun to have fans come by to chat. Many were very surprised to hear that I got my start in autocross and raced SCCA. They were eager to tell me about their own racecars! It has also been cool to see parents or grandparents bring their daughters/grandaughters to see the car. There are quite a few women driving this weekend and I love that we are changing the look of the paddock.

We had some teething issues today with fuel cell/pump so not many laps. I'm looking forward to seeing how I stack up with my teammates and the other cars out there as we get more time in the car!
