Sportscar racing career

IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge

Alongside a full time campaign in open wheel racing, Garg would make his sportscar racing debut in the 2023 IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge driving for Jr III Racing. He would have a good debut, getting pole position for race one at Daytona, and finishing third in the race. At the second round of the championship held at Sebring, Garg would qualify on pole for both races. He went on to have a dominant performance to win both races. Following two 2nd places at Mosport, Garg would get his third win at Lime Rock Park, cutting rival Dan Goldburg's championship lead to 20 points. He would go on a four race win streak which resulted in a comfortable lead in the championship ahead of Goldburg. Going into the final round at Road Atlanta, Garg was still in a title battle with Dan Goldburg. Garg would start in second behind debutant Jagger Jones in race one. During lap one, Jones made a mistake going into turn 10, and Garg capitalized by overtaking Jones for the race lead. Garg continued to control the race up front defending against Jones. Ultimately, Garg would prevail, and win the race. While not quite winning the championship, all Garg had to do was start race two to win the title. Race two would have a chaotic end to cap off the season. With two minutes left in the race, Garg was sitting in third behind Dan Goldburg and race leader Jagger Jones. The race picture quickly changed in the span of two laps. Jones' car had a mechanical issue and came to a stop near the start/finish line. Goldburg would then inherit the lead and Garg moved up to second. During the final lap, Goldburg attempted to overtake the lapped LMP3 car of Jon Brownson, however Goldburg misjudged his entry and collided with Brownson. This resulted in Goldburg spinning out into the gravel. Garg was quickly able to close up to a recovering Goldburg and eventually overtook him. Garg held onto the lead and capped off his season with a sixth consecutive win and eight total victories, claiming the championship of the series. Garg, di Resta and Scherer finished 11th overall, with three sixth places being the best results.

24 Hours of Le Mans

2024

On May 2, 2024, United Autosports added Garg to their 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans lineup in LMP2 along with Oliver Jarvis and Nolan Siegel. The trio in the No. 22 Oreca 07 started the race off decently, but slipped down the order when Siegel received a drive through penalty for making contact with the No. 33 DKR Engineering car at the Ford chicane. Throughout the night, race had sporadically come over the track, resulting in multiple lengthy safety car periods. This allowed the No. 22 to catch back up to the other cars. Garg, who was in the car at that point, had slowly been overtaking cars and moving himself up the order towards the front of the pack. He would then end his stint and hand the car over to Siegel. During the morning hours of the race, Siegel had been in the car setting the fastest times of anyone in LMP2. Siegel would eventually catch LMP2 class leader Reshad de Gerus in the No. 28 IDEC Sport car and eventually overtake him for the race lead. Following his stint, Siegel would hand the car over to Jarvis. The No. 22 would remain in the lead ahead of the No. 34 Inter Europol Competition car of Clément Novalak. The No. 22's lead would be halved from 35 seconds after a slow pit stop, however, Jarvis retained a comfortable lead and brought home the No. 22 in first. This marked a significant win for Garg and Siegel, as both drivers won Le Mans in their first attempt. Garg was quoted saying: "To win Le Mans on my first attempt is unbelievable! This win wouldn't have been possible without the engineers and mechanics. You need to execute on a lot of setup changes every pit stop, and they did that. I couldn't be more proud for the team and couldn't be more happy to win with these guys."
