Porsche Penske to Run Two Heritage Liveries at Road America
The liveries serve as anniversary tributes during IMSA’s extended six‑hour Road America race.
Overview
- Porsche Penske Motorsport confirmed on Tuesday that its two Porsche 963 LMDh cars will carry retro paint jobs for the Motul SportsCar Endurance Grand Prix at Road America.
- The No. 6 car driven by Kevin Estre and Laurens Vanthoor will wear the blue‑and‑yellow Sunoco scheme inspired by the 1973 Porsche 917/30, while the No. 7 shared by Julien Andlauer and Felipe Nasr will revive the yellow DHL/RS Spyder look.
- Porsche and Penske framed the designs as tributes to milestone achievements in their shared history, citing the 917/30’s dominance and Mark Donohue’s sub‑two‑minute qualifying lap at Road America and the RS Spyder’s 2007 overall win and LMP2 titles.
- This marks the fourth special livery outing for Porsche Penske in 2026 after Sebring, Long Beach and Laguna Seca, and the team chose Road America’s newly extended six‑hour format as a larger platform for the commemorations.
- Beyond fan appeal, the move reinforces the long Porsche–Penske partnership and signals a season‑long marketing strategy that blends race history with contemporary LMDh competition.
