Porsche Motorsport, the racing division of the famous Stuttgart company, is intensively preparing for 2024, and the factory teams face very ambitious goals: to fight for titles in all the championships in which they compete.
First of all, endurance racing and Formula E were discussed during the traditional annual event ‘Night of Champions’, which took place yesterday, December 2, at the Porsche Advanced Development Center in Weisach.
In the WEC and overseas IMSA series, teams using Porsche 963 hypercars compete, and in Formula E, Porsche 99X Electric powerplants power not only the works team’s cars, but also champion Andretti’s electric racing cars.
“Motorsport is one of the pillars of the Porsche brand,” says Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Board of Management of Porsche AG. – For us, motorsport and innovation are inextricably linked. New developments, proven in racing, subsequently improve the quality of our production cars. In motorsport we rely on our spirit of innovation, courage and desire to win. The love for Porsche starts on the track…”
“We are involved in three major championships – the FIA WEC, the IMSA Series and Formula E,” continued Michael Steiner, member of the Board of Management of Porsche AG and responsible for advanced development. – There we are represented by strong teams such as Andretti, JDC-Miller, Proton, Jota and our factory teams.
New car manufacturers are entering these championships and they promise to be extremely interesting, especially the WEC, and including the Le Mans race. We are focused on fighting for victories and titles.”
The season will start in the winter of 2024 with the Formula E stage, which will be held in Mexico City on January 13.
