After making a name for himself not only in Formula 1 but also in NASCAR and IndyCar, Juan Pablo Montoya is enjoying competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship driving DragonSpeed's ORECA 07-Gibson in the LMP2 class. The Colombian driver has won the Indianapolis 500 and F1 Monaco Grand Prix, leaving only the 24 Hours of Le Mans to earn him the elusive Triple Crown. Juan Pablo Montoya: "This year is really special for me, going back to places like Monza and Le Mans. I’ve fallen in love with Le Mans, racing there is so much fun. Sportscar racing… dealing with the traffic is a challenge. It’s a different way of approaching races. DragonSpeed has been a great team so far. It’s been a blast!"

In the podcast, Montoya confirms his hopes of winning the legendary race. "I absolutely want to win Le Mans. There is a lot of luck involved, but as a race and an experience, it’s just so much fun. In a couple of years, when more manufacturers are involved, then I hope they will take a look at me and that they will want me to be a part of their team. The next few years are very exciting for endurance racing."

Montoya has taken the start in the 24 Hours of Le Mans twice. In 2018, he finished third in the LMP2 at the wheel of the United Autosports team's Ligier JS P217-Gibson shared with Will Owen and Hugo de Sadeleer.

This year, the Colombian driver is looking to defend his IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship title and "do his best" in the FIA WEC.
