.NASCAR legend JimmieJohnson says he is keen to race the series' Garage 56 entry at Le Mans this year. Full story ⬇️
Garage 56 is the entry that the Automobile Club de l'Ouest - organisers of Le Mans - sets aside for the “technology of tomorrow and beyond” of innovative machinery.
The entry for 2023 is a modified version of the Next Gen Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 car raced in NASCAR and is a collaboration between the series, Hendrick Motorsports, Chevrolet, IMSA, and Goodyear.“I’ve been able to help develop the car, drive it and I’ve had an amazing experience doing so. I’m still eagerly awaiting my formal invite/contract.Sportscar veteran Mike Rockenfeller, a former Le Mans overall winner, tested the Hendrick-built car at Virginia International Raceway in November.
The project was first announced last March as an homage to NASCAR founder Bill France Sr, who first took stock cars to the French classic almost half a century ago. “I think it’s a brilliant idea and kudos to [NASCAR CEO] Jim France for having this vision and the effort he’s put in to bringing this to life over the last few years,” Johnson said.“With the, I guess you can call it, the unification of the rulebook, and the opportunity for WEC and IMSA to combine and cars come across the sea and compete against one another.
