Porsche is confident that it has made a significant step forward with its 963 LMDh ahead of this weekend’s Le Mans 24 Hours round of the World Endurance Championship.Urs Kuratle, project leader on the 963, described last Sunday’s Le Mans test day as “definitely satisfying” after a Porsche was in the top three in the times in both sessions on Sunday.
The first track running of Le Mans week on the full 8.47-mile Circuit de la Sarthe followed a significant test programme since the previous WEC round at Spa at the end of April.Le Mans test day: Ferrari paces Peugeot in morning session, Toyota crashes It took in runs at Monza, Paul Ricard and Watkins Glen in the USA, which followed the Porsche Penske Motorsport team’s most recent IMSA SportsCar Championship race at Laguna Seca last month.
“We made a lot of progress through those tests and the one race we did in America,” Kuratle told Autosport.The Porsche LMDh has struggled with a stability issue under braking, which is exacerbated in low-grip situations.“The drivers will tell you that, but I cannot say we are completely on top of it. It is still our biggest issue, but we are improving.
