David Hikes

Car chief IMSA #6

Personal take

David has been with the Porsche Penske Motorsport programme since day one, stepping up to become car chief of the #6 car just before the start of the 2023 season. The dad-of-four - including twins - was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, and fondly remembers watching the Rose Cup at Portland International Raceway as a child. He has a wealth of sportscar experience, and though he had won IMSA championships before, last year’s victory was “special, it meant a lot.”

I’ve won championships in IMSA before, but this one was pretty special because of all the trials and tribulations we’d gone through.
