Can Kakunoshin Ohta’s switch to IndyCar emulate Alex Palou’s success?
In last month’s Indianapolis 500, Takuma Sato demonstrated once again that age is a mere number as he led a significant number of laps on his way to ninth place. Indeed, only the smallest of braking misjudgements on pitlane cost him a shot at a third victory at the Speedway. But, no matter how impressive […]
Nick Tandy isn’t focused on the Triple Crown — He just wants to win Le Mans
Nick Tandy knows he’s standing on the precipice of history. With wins at Daytona and Sebring this year, he’s in the unique position — alongside fellow Porsche Penske Motorsport drivers Felipe Nasr and Laurens Vanthoor — to be the first to win the triple crown of endurance racing within the space of a calendar year. But, […]
Roger Penske and his white whale that is Le Mans
Call me Roger. No, this isn’t the start of an epic tale of a man and his white whale (if you recognize the nod to Moby Dick). This is more a look at a man and his mostly white-clad race car taking on, again, the chase to a prestigious trophy win and honors. Roger Penske […]
Hypercar, LMDh rules extended to 2032 in WEC
The lifecycle of the current generation of Le Mans Hypercar and LMDh prototypes has been extended until 2032 in the World Endurance Championship. The move, predicted by Motorsport.com in April, means that the LMH formula is set to span 12 years following its 2021 introduction and LMDh 10 years, and follows on the two-year extension […]
The complexities behind Porsche’s 963 hypercar braking system
Stopping an LMDh car is just as hard as getting it going. Sure, they’ve got four brakes, but these cars are hybrids, which means you also have regenerative braking. Plus adjustments for engine braking. This makes everything infinitely more complicated for teams, drivers, and suppliers, and frankly, a lot more interesting. Conceptually, the LMDh braking […]
Michelin to use 50% sustainable materials in 2026 WEC and IMSA tyres
Michelin will introduce a new range of slick tyres for the World Endurance Championship and the IMSA SportsCar Championship next year produced from 50% sustainable materials. The French tyre supplier has surpassed its original target to increase the percentage of the renewable and recycled components of the tyres used in Hypercar in WEC and GTP […]
Porsche’s ‘setback’ is a triumph for Ford, Acura’s Detroit GP
The original headline for Saturday’s IMSA race report read something like “BOP be damned, Porsche Penske proves perfection again in Detroit”…before the #10 Wayne Taylor Racing Cadillac and #93 Acura Meyer Shank Racing cars instantly changed it, not two-minutes later. The lesson here is that endurance racing can be unpredictable, and never write a lede to […]
Acura Meyer Shank Racing finally ends Porsche Penske’s IMSA win streak in Detroit
Pole positions typically don’t mean much in endurance racing. And while IMSA’s Detroit Grand Prix race is considered a sprint by the series’ and by definition short in length, it doesn’t guarantee that whoever leads the front of the field at the start, will lead it to the checkered flag. Today, though, the action in […]
