Cameron takes Campbell’s place in Porsche's IMSA line-up

Porsche driver Dane Cameron will return to the IMSA SportsCar Championship after a two-year break in 2024 as part of a direct swap with Matt Campbell.

Cameron will share the #7 Porsche 963 with Felipe Nasr next year, replacing Campbell in the Porsche Penske Motorsport team’s IMSA line-up.

Capmbell will move over to the World Endurance Championship next year, taking Cameron’s place in the #5 Porsche alongside Michael Christensen and Frederic Makowiecki.

Porsche described the decision to place Cameron in IMSA as a “logical change”, as its sets to build on the promise it showed in its first season in the GTP category.

It also means Cameron would be able to aim for a third overall title with as many manufacturers, having won the 2016 championship with Cadillac and added a second crown in ‘19 in a Penske-run Acura.

“We've made a logical change in our driver squad,” explains Thomas Laudenbach, Vice President Porsche Motorsport.

“Our goal continues to be to optimise the overall package for contesting the two major championships. This applies to the vehicle and the team processes as well as the cockpit crews.

"Last season we fought for the title in the IMSA series until the last race. Our expectations for 2024 are high: we want to lead the way in North America, Le Mans and the FIA ​​WEC.”
