Porsche pauses build of additional customer 963 LMDhs until mid-2024
The German manufacturer Porsche has revealed that the second 963 for the British Jota team’s expanded two-car assault on the 2024 WEC will be the last car completed before production is temporarily halted. Porsche has decided to change its original plan to make available a further two cars to customers for each series in the second year of competition. This decision was made due to concerns about overloading the supply chain, including the supply of the LMDh battery. Additionally, Porsche wants to ensure good customer support and feels that the LMDh project is not as far along as planned. However, demand for 963s from existing and new customers remains high. Jota’s two cars in the WEC will be joined by Proton Competition’s entry, and JDC/Miller MotorSports will also run a solo 963 in a full IMSA campaign in 2024.
