JOTA closing on deal to run second Porsche LMDh in WEC 2024
The team openly expressed their desire to add another 963 to their lineup in 2024, following the success of their debut car this year. They have already placed an order for an extra chassis in the same livery. The team is making progress in securing the necessary funding for a full WEC program with the new car. The plan is to have a two-car Hertz Team JOTA entry next season. The team is yet to finalize the lineup for the additional car but mentioned that they already have some names in mind. JOTA is expecting delivery of the new car in November, just after the 2023 Bahrain WEC finale. The German Proton team is also considering expanding their program with the 963, most likely in WEC. Porsche has not yet confirmed the number of customer 963s available for 2024 but is focused on providing support for proper racing rather than just selling cars. Throughout the 2023 season, four cars have been released to privateer teams in WEC and IMSA.
