PPM claimed victory in both the opening rounds of the IMSA SportsCar Championship at the Daytona 24 and the World Endurance Championship in Qatar with its LMDh 963 prototype.
But Diuguid warned that its streak could end this Saturday, with the second round of IMSA’s so-called ‘36 Hours of Florida’ on the former airbase that’s renowned as a car breaker.
"Looking at the first two races of 2024, I think it’s one decision or choice by a driver and then we don’t finish where we did,” said Diuguid.
"It was a tight race in Daytona and in Qatar we had some light drama with contact with another car, and I think if either of those situations goes a different way then we have different outcomes.
"As a group we have to be excited when things come together and we succeed, like in Daytona and Qatar, but we’ve got to keep pushing because it’s one mistake away from the wheels falling off – for the lack of a better description! – so we’ve got to keep focused and looking forward.
"Look what happened at Sebring last year: Dane [Cameron] got run into under yellow and the back of the car got torn off, and Nick [Tandy] had the fire extinguisher go off. So that all happened even before we got to leading the race with 30 minutes to go [before the big crash that took both cars out]."
