Porsche will try to recover the Le Mans crown in 2025 with three official cars … and the surprise has jumped in the third 963 Porsche-Pepenke official. Because the usual headlines in the IMSA, Nick Tandy Yy Felipe Nasr will join the current World Formula E: Pascal Wehrlein.
The German, with the past in Formula 1 – in Manor and Sauber – will debut in the 24 hours of Le Mans at the wheel of one of the favorite cars to triumph (although in the last two years the trophy has gone to Ferrari’s showcases). But with the kilometers of experience that accumulated in the past 24 hours of Daytona at the wheel of one of the private cars of JDC-Miller Motorsports.

Wehrlein will complete a very high level crew. Not surprisingly, Tandy and Nasr are the current leaders of the American Resistance Championship (IMSA) after winning the two disputed tests, two Super Classics such as 24 Hours of Daytona and 12 hours of Sebring.
Vettel’s option vanishes
The confirmation of Pascal Wehrlein definitely closes the door to a possible return to the very high competition of Sebastian Vettel. The tetrampone of the world of Formula 1 tested last year one of the Porsche 963 to evaluate a possible adventure in the queen queen class. But in 2024 that option was ruled out … And now it seems to do it definitively.

Wehrlein’s partner at the Formula E World Cup, Antonio Félix Da Costa, will not be in the queen class as he made last year the flyer of one of the 963 of Jota. The Portuguese will have to settle for trying to take the victory in the LMP2 category.
