Get ready for an exciting season in motorsports! Justin Di Benedetto is set to make his mark once again in the IMSA VP Racing Sportscar Challenge as he aims to elevate his performance following a commendable fourth-place finish in the GSX drivers’ championship in 2025.
As the owner and driver of his Canadian team, Di Benedetto will continue to pilot the No. 4 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport. Last year proved to be a significant one for him, marked by impressive podium finishes at Virginia International Raceway and Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.
Reflecting on the past season, Di Benedetto shared, "It was our inaugural venture into the IMSA paddock, and we had an exceptional year, finishing fourth in the GSX standings with our Porsche Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport." His enthusiasm for building on this foundation is palpable, as he stated, "I’ll be looking to build on our successes from last year and have an even stronger 2026."
He further explained how the previous season was a transformative experience: "Last season represented a complete reset for our program, marking our first full year racing in the United States, where five out of the six venues were entirely new to me."
The standout moments for him were undoubtedly the podium finishes at Virginia and Road Atlanta, which he views as the pinnacle of his season. "We are aiming to secure even more podiums in the upcoming races," he expressed with determination.
Moreover, Di Benedetto took pride in being the fastest Porsche in his class throughout the competition. The anticipation builds as the season kicks off at Daytona for the Roar, which he describes as the perfect venue to launch the racing year.
The VP Challenge season is set to commence next weekend during the Roar Before the Rolex 24, featuring two 45-minute races that promise to deliver thrilling action.
