Pfaff Motorsports dropped the first hint of its 2024 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship driver lineup as it switches from Porsche to McLaren.
Pfaff tweeted that James Hinchcliffe would be joining them for the three longer endurance races in 2024 — the Rolex 24 At Daytona, the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring and Motul Petit Le Mans. The Canadian IndyCar race winner and NBC Sports analyst, is the first announced for the Canadian team based near Toronto.
The tweet included a video in which Hinchcliffe is checking his e-mail and celebrates, before yelling to his wife, “Hey babe, how do you feel about plaid?” His wife, actress Rebecca Dalton, then walks in the room wearing a plaid flannel shirt, hat and boots. Pfaff has a history of playing up its Canadian roots with a plaid livery, although the team’s general manager, Steve Bortolotti, has indicated the design on its 720S Evo will be more tied into McLaren’s colors.
