The second round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship resulted in heartbreak for Porsche Penske Motorsport. Both Porsche 963 were eliminated in a caution with less than 20 minutes to go while running first and third. Despite the accident, the No. 6 Porsche 963 was still able to finish third in class and grab Porsche Penske Motorsport IMSA podium.The 12-hour race was a roller coaster ride for both Porsche 963. The No. 6 lost a lap just a few hours into the race when smoke developed in the cockpit, bringing Nick Tandy into the pits. The crew serviced the car and concluded the issue wasn’t anything to be worried about and sent him back out. Just a short time later, the No. 7 fell off the lead lap with a suspension issue.Fortunately, both problems in the first half of the race were rectified. The fast pace of the Porsche 963, along with sound strategy and fast pit stops, allowed both cars to get back on the lead lap during a wave-around caution period.
