Porsche Penske Motorsport believes its extensive recent GTP testing program puts it in a strong position for this weekend’s title-deciding Petit Le Mans finale of the IMSA SportsCar Championship.
Porsche enters the race leading the constructors’ championship after back-to-back wins at Road America and Indianapolis, while drivers Nick Tandy and Mathieu Jaminet are just five points off the lead in the drivers’ standings. On a media call with manufacturer representatives, Porsche’s director of factory racing Urs Kuratle confirmed the 963 had run at Road Atlanta for seven days in total since the project started last year.
“We’re a lot smarter than we were six months ago, and even two months ago. The only way that happens is with running the cars and understanding them to perform at their best.” Tom Blomqvist, Meyer Shank Racing W/Curb-Agajanian Acura ARX-06 in testing at Road Atlanta Photo by: Andreas Beil When Motorsport.com asked the other manufacturers about their testing experience at Road Atlanta, HPD’s David Salter explained that Acura “had a couple of days recently”.
