About
Having switched from the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship to drive full-time in the WEC's Hypercar class for 2024, Campbell has quickly hit his stride, scooping up trophies in his wake. He has been a Porsche works driver since 2019 and won this year's 24 Hours of Daytona.
Climbing the ladder
From humble beginnings racing in one-make series in Australia to progressing through the junior ranks, Campbell had always dreamed of being a Porsche factory driver.
He says it was "the last item to tick off in my journey of my career that I set out to try and achieve" - and it took just eight years from taking his first steps to reaching the very top of the Porsche motorsport pyramid.
In endurance racing, the team aspect is very important, which is an aspect I really enjoy.
