The customer team Hertz Team Jota has clinched the maiden victory for a privately run Porsche 963 in the FIA World Endurance Championship WEC. At the end of an action-packed six-hour race, Callum Ilott and Will Stevens from the UK benefited from an early refuelling stop before an extended break. Using a similar strategy, Porsche Penske Motorsport achieved second place with Laurens Vanthoor, André Lotterer and Kévin Estre. The other works car was forced to retire after an accident. In the LMGT3 category, the Porsche 911 GT3 R fielded by Manthey EMA secured class victory. Second place went to the Manthey PureRxcing’s sister car, the winner of the season opener in Qatar.
