“The [development] curve went upwards and we made a lot of miles, which is good.” Porsche believes it made a major development step with the new 963 LMDh and its off-the-shelf hybrid system in a test at Daytona ⬇️
Thomas Laudenbach, boss of Porsche Motorsport, described the test at the venue for the hybrid prototype’s race debut in January’s Daytona 24 Hours, the opening round of the 2023 IMSA SportsCar Championship, as “a good step forward”.“The [development] curve went upwards and we made a lot of miles, which is good.”
But Laudenbach stopped short of describing the run at Daytona as a breakthrough test for the 963, which will take Porsche back to the pinnacle of sportscar racing in both IMSA and the World Endurance Championship next year. Porsche will struggle to deliver the customer cars earmarked for the IMSA series next year in time for them to race at Daytona at the end of January, Laudenbach conceded.
