“Freak” belts issue denied Proton shot at beating Ferrari in Fuji WEC
In the second race in the WEC’s Hypercar class with the Porsche 963, Proton showed competitiveness, running in the top five until an issue with the seat belts forced them to spend over five minutes in the garage. As a result, they lost seven laps and finished ninth, eight laps behind the winning Toyota GR010 HYBRID. Neel Jani, one of the drivers, believed they had a chance to finish fourth and were quicker than the Ferraris. He attributed the seat belt problem to the lack of testing before the race. Proton’s sister team, Jota, also missed an opportunity to beat Ferrari due to a penalty for contact with another car.
