Porsche clarifies their decision not to race Sebastian Vettel at Le Mans this year due to logistical and regulatory issues, but keeps the door open for his future participation.
Porsche has opened up about the reasons behind not fielding Sebastian Vettel at this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans. Despite testing a new Hypercar, the timing and preparations did not align for Vettel's inclusion.
Addressing the rumors and decisions, Urs Kuratle, Porsche’s LMDh factory director, candidly discussed the elements that influenced their lineup choices. According to Kuratle, several factors restricted the possibility of Vettel joining the prestigious race this year. He explained, as quoted by“We had discussions and it didn’t work for this year’s Le Mans for some reasons and that’s it.
“I’m not blaming the test ban, but in the situation we are in, we are not able to have a third car here for example like we used to in the past. The situation was just not right.” “The easy bit is that we have four of the best drivers in the U.S. in the IMSA team, and to bring those guys over to Le Mans is a no-brainer. That car, with these guys, will be one of the best driver lineups in the whole pitlane.
