Porsche plays down chances of running a second customer team in WEC from 2025
Porsche is not expecting a second team to join Proton Competition in running its 963 LMDh in the World Endurance Championship next year. Thomas Laudenbach, boss of Porsche Motorsport, has revealed that at present there are no other teams in the frame to purchase a 963 for 2025 when the marque’s customer contingent will be reduced on Jota’s switch to Cadillac to become its factory team. “It looks like Proton will be the only customer team,” said Laudenbach.
But should it return with the LMH Tipo 6 Competizione — and it would also have to go to two cars if it does — the 40-car grid would be full. Proton has outlined an ambition to expand its presence in the top class of the WEC from a single 963, which joined the series at Monza in July 2023.
