Four Straight. Porsche Earns Fourth IMSA Win of Year at Watkins Glen.
The Porsche GT Team claimed its fourth straight GTLM class victory in the first five races of the 2019 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. Sharing the cockpit of the No. 911 Porsche 911 RSR, Patrick Pilet (France) and Nick Tandy (Great Britain) took their second win of the season in the hotly-contested Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen. Their factory driver colleagues Earl Bamber (New Zealand) and Laurens Vanthoor (Belgium) – who scored the two other team victories of in 2019 – finished in sixth-place in the identical No. 912 at Watkins Glen International in New York.

Porsche has extended its lead in the manufacturers’ point standings and the factory squad has moved to the top spot in the IMSA Michelin Endurance Challenge (IMEC) championship within a championship. The IMEC crowns the greatest endurance racers each IMSA season by virtue of success in the series’ longest races: the Rolex 24 At Daytona, Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, Six Hours of The Glen and Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta. In the drivers’ classification, Pilet/Tandy now rank first ahead of Bamber/Vanthoor.
