Laurin Heinrich enters the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season finale at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta facing a difficult path to the GTP title, but the 2024 GTD Pro champion is focusing on the ultimate objective: winning Motul Petit Le Mans overall.
Returning to the #7 Porsche Penske Motorsport Porsche 963 alongside Felipe Nasr and Julien Andlauer, Heinrich trails points leader Jack Aitken (#31 Cadillac Whelen V-Series.R) by 147 points heading into Saturday's 10-hour endurance showcase. Across the anticipated 11-car GTP field, a maximum of 385 points are up for grabs (350 for the win, 35 for pole), while 11th-place points in both sessions yield a minimum of 220 points (20 for qualifying, 200 for the race).
