Chip Ganassi Racing has one of the most diverse track records in modern motorsport, competing in IndyCar, Nascar, and the World Endurance Championship to name only a few of its noteworthy programs. As a result of 27 successful seasons, the team is now nearing its 200th victory, an achievement that sits in Ganassi's sights for this weekend's 6 Hours of Bahrain. With a pair of Ford GT racers on the grid, the American crew will look to recreate its win at Shanghai last weekend to achieve the milestone with time to spare in 2017.

The inaugural GT Drivers' World Championship is set to be decided in Bahrain as well, accompanying the close race up top in the GTE-Pro class. While win number 200 is certainly looming in the back of Ganassi Racing's mind, WEC team principal George Howard-Chappell explains that the turnaround last weekend in China has once again made the championship a major focus for Sunday.

“The result in Shanghai has set up a fantastic championship showdown in Bahrain,” said Howard-Chappell told The Drive. “After Fuji we thought we were out of it but the whole team did a great job in China and now we have a chance again."

Team drivers Harry Tincknell and Andy Priaulx currently sit in third place for the Drivers' Title while CGR is placed behind Team Manthey and AF Corse for the GTE-Pro Championship.
