Jaminet, Campbell lead Porsche Penske 1-2 at Laguna Seca

It’s a new twist on a classic tale in the 2025 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship: Porsche Penske Motorsport took a 1-2 finish at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, but this time, the No. 6 Porsche 963 of Mathieu Jaminet and Matt Campbell took the victory in Sunday’s Monterey SportsCar Championship.

The No. 6 crew came in for an early first stop and undercut both the polesitting No. 24 Team RLL BMW M Hybrid V8 and the No. 7 Penske Porsche who ran first and second during the opening stanza.

Once Jaminet relieved Campbell, he had a 7s advantage over his old co-driver Nick Tandy in the No. 7 Porsche, though the gap got much closer after the final round of pit stops. Tandy closed to within touching distance of the lead as the Porsches fought through traffic, and with Dries Vanthoor’s BMW approaching quickly from third place, the three leaders ran nose-to-tail on the final lap.

Jaminet held firm and took the win, while Tandy was held up by GT traffic and allowed Vanthoor to get a crack at a high-risk move into turn 11. They made contact and Vanthoor was sent off into the sand trap.

Although their winning streak came to an end, Tandy and Felipe Nasr’s second-place finish keeps them in the lead of the GTP Championship after four races, with the Detroit Grand Prix up next on May 31st.

FOR THE LEAD!!
