FILIPE ALBUQUERQUE No. 10 Konica Minolta Acura ARX-06, Three-time Rolex 24 winner: “I think it’s innovation. It’s a completely new car, and I was lucky enough to be involved in the development from the very beginning of it. We have green mobility, so we have the best
FELIPE NASR No. 7 Porsche Penske Motorsport Porsche 963; 2018 and ’21 DPi champion: “What I love the most is the look of the car – wider, longer, it just looks pretty aggressive to me, and I like that.
