Proton Porsche retains Jani, signs Andlauer as WEC Qatar entry list released
Neel Jani and Julien Andlauer, along with Harry Tincknell, will be driving in the Qatar 1812Km WEC season-opener race on March 2nd. Jani will continue as a full-season driver with Proton, and Andlauer is expected to join him for all eight races. Tincknell, who was part of the team in the final three WEC rounds last year, will also be racing for Multimatic in the IMSA SportsCar Championship. There are scheduling conflicts between WEC and IMSA, and a decision on Tincknell’s priorities will be made later. Jani expressed confidence in the team’s potential to challenge for podiums in Hypercar this season. The Proton team completed its 2024 WEC entry lineup with McLaren announcing its drivers for two LMGT3 entries.
