In the North American IMSA Championship, Mathieu Jaminet from France and Nick Tandy from Great Britain will once again crew the #6 hybrid prototype. The duo clinched the maiden race win for the Porsche 963 on the Long Beach street circuit in April this year. At the 24 Hours of Daytona season opener in January, Jaminet and Tandy will be joined in the cockpit by Kévin Estre and Laurens Vanthoor.

Felipe Nasr from Brazil and Dane Cameron from the USA will share driving duties as the regular drivers in the #7 vehicle. The pair receives support at Daytona from Matt Campbell and American IndyCar star Josef Newgarden.

“We’ve made a logical change in our driver squad,” explains Thomas Laudenbach, Vice President Porsche Motorsport. “Our goal continues to be to optimise the overall package for contesting the two major championships. This applies to the vehicle and the team processes as well as the cockpit crews. Last season we fought for the title in the IMSA series until the last race. Our expectations for 2024 are high: we want to lead the way in North America, Le Mans and the FIA WEC.”
