Porsche driver Frederic Makowiecki is keen to steer away from 'political games' after several key Toyota figures branded the German manufacturer as favourite for the Le Mans 24 Hours.
The 2024 World Endurance Championship has got off to a remarkable start for the Porsche brand, with its cars taking a 1-2-3 in Qatar, a double podium at Imola and a 1-2 at Spa-Francorchamps.
' Makowiecki then drew a comparison with the GTE Pro era, featuring excitingly tight racing but Balance of Performance shenanigans as well, though the veteran stopped short of mentioning this particular topic by name. 'I come from a GT period when we saw some phases, some races when at some point we ended up with cars whose performance levels were really heterogeneous,' he said.
