Porsche Penske Motorsport claimed its first IMSA GTP victory with its 963 with Nick Tandy and Mathieu Jaminet, after a lack of pace in practice and qualifying led it to running the same set of tires for the entire 100-minute, sprint-format race.
It meant the car’s mandatory pitstop was much faster than its rivals, giving it track position and avoiding the painfully slow warm-up phase required by taking new rubber.
