Porsche Revs Up with Stellar Line-Up for WEC Spa 6 Hours
Porsche fans, brace yourselves for an adrenaline-packed showdown at the upcoming Spa round of the World Endurance Championship! The German powerhouse is pulling out all the stops by enlisting top-tier drivers Pascal Wehrlein and Nico Muller to join its factory Penske line-up for the highly anticipated event in May.
Reigning Formula E world champion, Pascal Wehrlein, will be taking the wheel of one of Porsche Penske Motorsport’s formidable 963 LMDhs at the Spa 6 Hours, gearing up for his Le Mans 24 Hours debut in June. Wehrlein will be teaming up with the 2024 WEC drivers’ champions, Laurens Vanthoor and Kevin Estre, in the #6 Porsche entry for what promises to be a thrilling race.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Porsche-contracted ace, Nico Muller, is stepping up to the plate as the reserve driver for the three-car PPM squad at Le Mans. Muller, known for his prowess behind the wheel, will be revving up the tracks alongside Michael Christensen and Julien Andlauer in the #5 Porsche entry at Spa.
The dynamic duo of Wehrlein and Muller will not only bring their exceptional skills but also their prior experience with the 963 to the table. Having showcased their talent at endurance races like the Daytona 24 Hours and Sebring 12 Hours, these drivers are no strangers to pushing the limits of performance.
The decision to shake up the driver roster for the 2025 season has paved the way for fresh faces to make their mark on the WEC stage. With Wehrlein and Muller in the driver’s seat, Porsche is setting the stage for an epic battle at Spa and beyond.
As the countdown to the Spa 6 Hours begins, motorsport enthusiasts can expect nothing short of high-octane action and edge-of-the-seat drama from Porsche’s stellar line-up. Buckle up, because this race is sure to be one for the books!
