Hanley is one of the very best LMP2 drivers in the world, and he has been at a lot of teams, doing either full season driving, or as…

Pfaff Motorsports has chosen to switch brand, when the 2023 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season is over. The team has been associated with Porsche, ever since they entered IWSC in 2019.

So now they have chosen to switch to the British marque, to compete in the GTD Pro category with a single car in 2024. The team won the GTD title in 2021, and then moved up to the GTD Pro category,…

IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship has moved the date of the Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen 2024. The new date will be 23 June, with the previous date clashing with the 24 hours race at Spa Francorchamps in Europe.

That will make it a super busy month for sportscar drivers in 2024. On 1-2 June there is 24 hours at the…

They are going to enter the LMP2 category, once the LMP3 category in the American series closes after this season. But the choice is not on the popular ORECA 07, which pretty much every team around the world uses. But the team has opted for a Ligier JS P217. They already know Ligier from running LMP3, and as the team points out in their press release, several of their mechanics already have LMP2 experience. The new…
