The LMDh prototypes in the 59-car grid at the 62nd Daytona 24 Hours in January when year two of the new era kicked off in North America represent “the most highly-technological, fastest sportscars we’ve ever had in IMSA”, says Porsche factory driver Nick Tandy. “The cars are built to a set of regulations, but they all sound different, they all look different.”
It is that mix of technology and the ability of manufacturers to stamp their own mark on the look of the car with which they go racing that has drawn in global auto manufacturers. No fewer than five manufacturers using LMDh prototypes are now represented across IMSA and the WEC.
