Hanley 'going out and living my dream' with new IMSA venture
Robert Hanley has reached a point in his life where he can really fulfill his motorsport ambitions, and he's grabbing the chance with both hands.
In global sports car endurance racing across FIA WEC Hypercar and IMSA WeatherTech GTP, Balance of Performance (BoP) weight and power tables, double-stinting Michelin slicks through night temperature swings, and multi-class GT3 traffic management separate podium contenders from the field. Behind the scenes in the paddock, team principals, race engineers, and performance analysts treat developments like this as a critical data point—adjusting simulator correlation programs, driver run plans, and media messaging ahead of the next green flag. Reporting originally surfaced via racer.com, and our Apex Daily Paddock Desk has broken down the sporting, technical, and championship context below so you have the complete picture in under two minutes.
- Multi-Stint Pace & BoP Management: Winning in Hypercar, GTP, and GT3 requires zero pit-lane penalties, rapid driver changes, and preserving tire carcass integrity across changing track temperatures.
