“It’s obviously first-class that I can celebrate my debut in FIA WEC at Spa-Francorchamps and get to know the way Porsche Pensk🌟e Motorsport works even earlier – every competitive kilometre with the Porsche 963 counts,” said Wehrlein.

“In Kévin and Laurens, I have two team-mates from whom I can learn a lot. I’m really looking forward to competing on such an iconic racetracওk as the Belgian Grand ⛄Prix circuit.”

Muller will also serve as PPM’s reserve dr🔯iver at Le Mans on 14-15 June.

“I’m super-happy to be supporting Porsche Penske Motorsport at Le Mans and doing my bit to help achieve the big goal – although of course I h🧔ope I won’t be needed there!” the Swiss star said.

“Iꦦ’m also looking forward to returning to FIA WEC and competing in the 6 Hours of Spa-Fr🍰ancorchamps alongside Julien and Michael.

“Following my Sebring stint in IMSA and some testing, I will be able to complete more imp𒊎ortant laps with the Porsche 963. This is a great opportunity, and I would like to thank both Porsche Penske Motorsport and my Formula E team Andretti f꧂or making it possible.”

Both Mathieu Jaminet and Matt Campbell, who have served as additional third drivers in Porsche’s💖 WEC line-up, have clashing commitments in IMSA over the Spa weekend.
