Porsche and Team Penske have announced they will collaborate to take sports car racing to the next level. The companies will team up as Porsche Penske Motorsport and field cars in the new LMDh prototype class in 2023.
Two of their cars will compete in the IMSA SportsCar Championship, which features the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring. Two additional cars will compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship, which features the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
These are the most prestigious races in endurance racing, and thanks to the IMSA’s new LMDh prototype class, which mirrors the FIA’s new Hypercar class, it is finally possible for manufacturers to compete in each of them using the same racing car.
