This year’s Indianapolis 500 winner Josef Newgarden says he’d “love to” race in the Le Mans 24 Hours, after making his GTP debut for Porsche at Petit Le Mans last weekend.
Newgarden co-drove in the 10-hour sportscar classic, which ended the 2023 IMSA SportsCar Championship on Saturday, with Felipe Nasr and Matt Campbell in a Porsche Penske Motorsport 963. They finished fourth in the LMDh machine, which also races in the World Endurance Championship with the factory Penske squad. When asked if he'd like to race at Le Mans, Newgarden replied: “I would love to. I think any racer would love the opportunity to compete at Le Mans.
“The team has done a tremendous job all year and I just wanna plug in and be a small contributing factor, hopefully in a positive way,” Newgarden said. “I'm a big fan of this team, I wanna see Porsche succeed and would love to have, you know, more opportunities and to be a part of it and help the growth. “So, I'm looking to do that.” #7 Team Penske Porsche 963: Matt Campbell, Felipe Nasr, Josef Newgarden Photo by: Jake Galstad / Motorsport Images When Motorsport.
