🗣 'We knew from practice and qualifying that our pace wasn’t enough for us to win...' Find out how Porsche scored its first victory with the new 963 in a thriller at GPLongBeach, beating Acura, BMW and Cadillac 👇
, during which the car had gone into neutral and wouldn’t refire for over 10s, Penske’s strategists acted on Tandy’s early feedback and gambled on sticking with the same Michelin tires throughout the 100-minute race.
“To get the win and the double podium is massive,” said Tandy. “It’s huge. The effort that’s gone in, across the globe, to get four these Porsche Penske 963s out and racing [with two in IMSA and two in the World Endurance Championship] has been enormous. “We knew from practice and qualifying that our pace wasn’t enough for us to win, so we came up with lots of options on how to work the strategy, and this is beauty of IMSA. In these sprint races, with one pitstop, there are lots of options you can play.”
“We had decent track position before we pitted, we rolled the dice and obviously saw what the #10 did [pitting for new tires] the lap before, and we went for it. And what a hell of job my buddy [Jaminet] did! And also“It’s a team result, and it’s amazing.”Former GT ace Jaminet scored his maiden prototype class victory but admitted he had to nurse his tires “with no rear grip at the end” and struggled to “keep it out of the wall”.
