Porsche reacts to Lamborghini pace, explains 963 update strategy
Lamborghini’s new prototype, the SC63, achieved a lap time of 1m35s on Wednesday, just a second slower than last year’s Daytona 24 Hours pole position time. This was the first time the Iron Lynx-run car raced alongside its competitors in the IMSA SportsCar Championship. However, the car will not participate in the Daytona 24 Hours due to a scheduling conflict with its World Endurance Championship homologation process. Despite the low lap count, the team showed good pace, and Porsche welcomed them to the grid, stating that they will see them in Sebring. Porsche, on the other hand, focused on endurance performance rather than quick lap times during their two-day test, working on improving reliability and tire degradation. The two Porsches at Daytona were running in full 2024 spec, with a focus on race preparation for Daytona. Porsche aimed to maximize their track time at Daytona, using the opportunity to turn as many laps as possible in their preparations.
