If anyone had doubts that Nasr was right up there among the best sportscar drivers of his day, two things happened in 2021 to put them right.
He won a second IMSA title, and landed a drive with Penske and Porsche for next year and beyond.
Nasr was the stand-out driver at the wheel of a Daytona Prototype international this season on the way to the title with Pipo Derani and the Action Express Cadillac squad. The only thing missing from his season was a victory in one of the big enduros.
His prowess was clearly noted at Penske HQ. His deal was done, though remains unannounced, before the season’s end.
