Matt Campbell and Mathieu Jaminet were clear favourites to take the IMSA SportsCar Championship drivers’ title going into the Petit Le Mans series finale at Road Atlanta.
The Porsche Penske Motorsport duo had to be with a 100-plus point advantage before Saturday’s race. Yet to describe their passage to the championship as a walk in the park would be far from correct. The 10-hour race was far too chaotic for that. But the description was oddly prescient. Because raceday for Campbell began with a two-mile walk to ensure he got to the track on time.
