Porsche Penske Motorsport is considering driver options for its third 963 Hypercar entry at Le Mans, aiming for a 20th overall victory. They plan to field three cars at the event after securing an automatic invitation by winning the 2024 IMSA WeatherTech GTP Championship. With eight drivers already in their lineup, they are looking to fill one more slot in the third car. Porsche Motorsport VP Thomas Laudenbach mentioned having a pool of talented drivers to choose from, including Formula E and GT drivers, to ensure a competitive third car. Speculation around Sebastian Vettel potentially joining the team for Le Mans echoes previous moves by Porsche with former F1 drivers.
