Porsche’s 963 was the machine to have as it locked out the podium in the 2024 World Endurance Championship opener in Qatar, but only after heartbreak hit others and the winning #6 car survived its own late scare
Porsche dominated the Qatar 1812Km last Saturday on the way to a maiden win in the World Endurance Championship for the 963 and a first series victory for an LMDh prototype. Laurens Vanthoor, Kevin Estre and Andre Lotterer were never headed from late in the second hour of a race that hit its full distance four minutes short of the 10-hour cut-off. But it wasn’t all plain sailing for the drivers of the #6 car.
When the Frenchman was instructed to pit with seven laps of the 335 to go, his reaction was “ahh, come on”. A series of clashes with LMGT3 machinery over the final quarter of the race had damaged both the left sidepod and the floor, and he knew that anything but the briefest of repairs was going to rip victory from his and his team-mates’ grasp. But Estre was told not to worry.
