Porsche Penske Defends Team Orders

The Porsche Penske team has confirmed it will continue to use team orders to manage its drivers during major races.

This decision follows a controversial incident at Sebring where a lack of coordination led to internal tension within the team.

Management emphasized that the overall success of the brand must take priority over individual race wins for specific drivers.

The team aims to avoid on-track collisions between teammates by providing clearer instructions from the pit wall in the future.

Drivers have been briefed on the necessity of working together to secure the manufacturers’ and teams’ championships.

Strategic coordination is seen as vital for competing against high-level rivals in the intense IMSA sports car series.

By implementing these protocols, Porsche Penske hopes to maximize their points haul and maintain a disciplined competitive environment.
