The Porsche Penske Motorsport team is sending the new Porsche 963 into the fight for overall victories in the world's biggest endurance races. From 2023, two of the hybrid prototypes according to LMDh regulations will start in the FIA ​​World Endurance Championship WEC and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. The racing car presented this Friday (June 24) in Goodwood, UK, bears the colors typical of Porsche in motorsport: white, red and black. In the cockpits of the 500 kW (680 hp) strong cars, experienced prototype champions alternate with proven pilots from the Porsche works driver squad. Porsche Penske Motorsport prepares the races at two locations: the branch in Mannheim (Germany) is responsible for the FIA ​​WEC, while the vehicles for the IMSA are prepared in Mooresville (North Carolina, USA). The official race debut of the Porsche 963 is scheduled for January 2023 at the 24 Hours of Daytona in the USA. In the meantime, the FIA ​​WEC has opened the doors for test runs as part of the upcoming World Championship rounds this year. Porsche Penske Motorsport is targeting a possible out-of-competition dress rehearsal at the season finale in Bahrain in November
