According to Porsche’s factory LMDh racing boss Urs Kuratle, the front suspension of the Porsche 963 is set to be updated for the 2025 FIA WEC and IMSA seasons. This potential update, if approved, would mark the car’s second “Joker” evolution. The changes are aimed at providing teams with more flexibility in setup for various circuits next year. Kuratle stated that feedback from engineers and drivers led to the decision to explore this direction. Positive testing results have been reported, and Porsche is awaiting approval to start producing and distributing the updated parts in preparation for the upcoming race at Daytona. The decision to prioritize the front suspension update over a new crankshaft was influenced by both technical considerations and cost implications, as mentioned by Kuratle during a previous interview.
