Manthey’s Grello Porsche Seals First IMSA Win With GTD Pro Triumph at Sebring

Overview

• Manthey’s #911 Porsche won GTD Pro at Sebring after Thomas Preining’s penultimate-hour pass on AO Racing’s Harry King with a move into Turn 1.
• The victory was the German squad’s first in IMSA and came in only its second start in the series.
• Porsche locked out the top two spots in both GTD Pro and the top GTP class, with Penske leading the prototype 1-2 for the brand.
• The win marked the first IMSA victory for the updated 992.2-generation Porsche 911 GT3 R, confirming strong race pace after a tough Daytona.
• Manthey left tied for the GTD Pro points lead and will skip sprint rounds to focus on the Endurance Cup, with Grello due back in June at Watkins Glen.
