Find out why Porsche is confident that the hybrid component issues the 963 suffered on its debut at Daytona will be fixed by the Sebring double-header 👇
Jonathan Diuguid, boss of the PPM squad, said there is"definitely confidence" that it can go into the double-header Sebring weekend when it will race a pair of 963s in both the FIA World Endurance Championship and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship with a reliable car.
The #7 entry required a change of the battery manufactured by Williams Advanced Engineering as early as hour six, after running into what were described as issues related to"safety systems and protocols", while the #6 car was withdrawn late on after encountering problems with the Xtrac gearbox.

We are putting all the effort we can to show up at Sebring prepared."Photo by: Jake Galstad /Asked to explain why Porsche, along with BMW, encountered problems with the hybrid system at Daytona, and Acura and Cadillac did not, Diuguid replied."There are different engines with different vibration levels.
He stressed that Porsche's problems at Daytona had been"definitely visible" but that"every LMDh manufacturer was affected by issues through the race".
