STUTTGART, Germany — Porsche Penske Motorsport has finalized their driver lineup for its third Porsche 963 at this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans.
U.K. driver Nick Tandy and Frenchman Mathieu Jaminet join forces with Felipe Nasr from Brazil in the cockpit of the No. 75 hybrid prototype. Works driver teammate Matt Campbell from Australia supports the team at the highlight of the year as the reserve driver.
With 10 starts in the historic endurance race under his belt, Tandy brings a wealth of experience.
In 2015, Tandy secured overall victory at the wheel of the Porsche 919 Hybrid. For Jaminet, the race in June marks the second outing on Circuit de la Sarthe.
The local hero turned his first laps in Le Mans at the wheel of the Porsche 911 RSR in 2019. Felipe Nasr, who had already been selected as the driver in the No. 75 car when entries closed for the 24-hour race, can look back on three races at the track so far.
American Dane Cameron, Michael Christensen from Denmark and Frenchman Frédéric Makowiecki share driving duties in the ca. 500 kW (680 PS) Porsche 963 with the starting number 5.
The No. 6 sister car is helmed by Kévin Estre from France, Belgium’s Laurens Vanthoor as well as three-time outright Le Mans winner André Lotterer from Germany. The customer squad Hertz Team JOTA has nominated works driver António Félix da Costa from Portugal, Britain’s Will Stevens and Yifei Ye to drive the No. 38 car.
