Porsche’s factory 963 Hypercars raised 600,000 euros for charity by completing 1,159 laps at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The funds went to non-profit children’s charities, including Interplast Germany e.V. and Kinderherzen retten e.V., thanks to the Racing for Charity initiative by the Porsche Penske works team at the FIA World Endurance Championship round.
Started in 2023, the initiative donates 500 euros for every lap completed by each Porsche Penske car, with this year seeing a total of three cars on the track.
The effort yielded 579,500 euros, which Porsche rounded up to 600k, bringing the total raised since 2023 to over 2.4 million euros.
Despite fierce competition, Porsche Penske’s #6 crew of Kevin Estre, Laurens Vanthoor, and Matt Campbell secured a second-place finish, closely trailing the winning #83 AF Corse Ferrari 499P.
