Le Mans, Daytona, Sebring – Porsche returns to the top league of endurance sports in 2023, with all eyes on the 963 in the Porsche Penske Motorsport team’s red and white. For team patron Roger Penske, the goal is clear: he wants to fulfill his longtime dream of winning Le Mans.
With workshops of the great North American racing teams lining its streets, Mooresville in the US state of North Carolina feels much like an oversized pit lane. One of the most successful of these workshops has its own street – at 200 Penske Way, the two Porsche 963s are being prepared for factory competitions in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship organized by the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA). They’re in good company with the Penske team, as they share their home with dozens of NASCAR and IndyCar race cars.
In 2004, Roger Penske began relocating all of his racing programs to the location here, which measures 42 hectares in size. He owns the IndyCar Series, the highest formula class in North America, as well as the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Motorsport is the 85-year-old’s biggest passion – and yet just a small part of his empire. The Penske Corporation generates over 37 billion US dollars in sales annually at 3,200 locations and employs 67,000 people. The transport segment consists of more than 400,000 trucks on four continents.
