The first episode of ‘IMSA Drivers Stories’ by IMSA/NASCAR Productions has been released, featuring Renger van der Zande’s sports car journey in his 11th full season of IMSA competition. The episode, titled ‘The Flying Dutchman’, explores van der Zande’s return to racing after a year off and focuses on his motivations as a driver in the context of the 2023 season. It also highlights his partnership with Sebastien Bourdais in the No. 01 Cadillac, fielded by Chip Ganassi Racing, and their debut in the GTP competition with the V-Series.R LMDh car. Despite a challenging season, the duo managed to secure a victory at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca and a second-place finish at Motul Petit Le Mans. In 2024, van der Zande will continue as the longest-tenured Cadillac Racing driver alongside Bourdais in the No. 01 V-Series.R, with Scott Dixon joining as the third driver for the Michelin Endurance Cup events. Additionally, Chip Ganassi Racing IndyCar driver Alex Palou will join the team for the prestigious Rolex 24 at Daytona.
