"Too early" to know if LMDh car can win in WEC after first pole – Penske
Porsche Penske Motorsport boss Jonathan Diuguid expressed optimism about their performance in the upcoming Qatar 1812Km season opener, following Matt Campbell’s strong showings during the pre-season Prologue test and free practice sessions. Diuguid hinted at Porsche’s competitiveness in the race but emphasized the importance of endurance and long-run pace in the championship. He highlighted the team’s confidence in potentially challenging strong rivals like Toyota and Ferrari in the LMDh category. According to Diuguid, Porsche has improved its operational efficiency significantly since last year, crediting processes, regular pit crew training, and the addition of Jan Lange from Joest Racing as the general manager of the WEC team. With Lange’s experience and efforts to foster team spirit, Porsche is gearing up for the Qatar 1812Km race that promises a high level of competition and challenges.
