Porsche adds ex-BMW technical director to IMSA GTP attack
Brandon Fry, who previously worked on BMW’s IMSA GT campaigns and the M Hybrid V8, has joined PPM as the lead race engineer for the IMSA program. PPM’s managing director, Jonathan Diuguid, explained that the addition of Fry and other engineering personnel is a response to the need for more depth in their engineering operation following the first year of competition in the electrical hybrid GTP era. Diuguid expects year two with the LMDh cars to be more stable, as teams have become familiar with the hybrid powertrains and protocols. He believes that teams will be more focused on racing rather than background matters, leading to higher preparation levels.
