Newgarden: Porsche 963 “demands a bit more respect” than IndyCar machinery
Team Penske’s two-time IndyCar champion, Josef Newgarden, recently made his top-class debut in the IMSA SportsCar Championship at Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta. Driving the factory Porsche entry, he finished fourth alongside teammates Matt Campbell and Felipe Nasr. Newgarden compared the experience to racing an IndyCar, stating that the Porsche is technologically advanced and demands a lot from the driver. Unlike the IndyCar, which allows constant attacking at 100 percent, the Porsche requires more respect and precision to avoid losing time. Newgarden also highlighted the procedural differences between the two series, such as the presence of red lights at pit exits in IMSA. Despite the challenges, he embraces the multi-class racing aspect and finds it entertaining.
