Penske to Partner with Porsche for Global Factory LMDh Effort

Porsche and Penske together again.

WEC and IMSA. Four factory cars and customer cars.

Can't wait.

It will be nice to see Porsche back racing, where they belong. Only 19 overall wins at Le Mans. Needs to be more.

A decision on a chassis manufacturer has not been made yet , the hot rumor is Multimatic . And Audi needs a chassis manufacturer also . I am sure lots of meetings are taking place . Looking forward to the Porsche/Penske product .

I think this is great news... will it be electric, hybrid, or ice powered?

I believe the class they will run in called the "hypercar" level. No way it can go 24 hours and be electric. Hybrid is very likely.

That is an atrocious number of acronyms in one paragraph.

Chip Ganassi may disagree with that but, yes they are both big dogs.

Work for Penske - listen to what Paul Tracy would say. Bottom line: Penske is a tough boss but everyone wants to drive for him because he spares no expense and doesn't have team orders.
