Ben Keating, known for trying different cars at Le Mans and Daytona, rules out another outing in an LMDh prototype
Gentleman driver Ben Keating says he is not interested in racing an LMDh car again after being left “scared” by his first experience at the Daytona 24 Hours this year. Keating joined JDC-Miller in the flagship GTP class for the opening round of the IMSA SportsCar Championship, piloting a customer Porsche 963 LMDh alongside Richard Westbrook, Phil Hanson and Tijmen van der Helm to sixth overall.
“My only job as a bronze driver driving the LMDh is to not wreck. No one is expecting me to be as fast as all the other people, so I feel like my only job is to not wreck. #23 United Autosports Oreca 07 Gibson: Ben Keating Photo by: Nikolaz Godet “And I would say that in an LMDh car that is a hard job, it's hard not to wreck that car. “I watch all the Hypercar drivers spinning in qualifying . I know what that's like. Those are really good drivers, but that car is really hard to drive.
