🗣️'Maybe they are kind of ready but don’t want to come to the racetrack and not have a chance to win.' Peugeot driver Loic Duval says he's not surprised by Porsche’s decision not to debut its new 963 LMDh prototype in next month's Bahrain WEC finale ⬇️
Porsche was openly considering giving the 963 an early first race outing in the Bahrain 8 Hours on 12 November to prepare for its twin assaults on the WEC and the IMSA SportsCar Championship in 2023.
However, the factory Porsche Penske team revealed in September that it has elected against racing in Bahrain, instead focusing on additional testing in North America. “Peugeot has been away from the top category of endurance since 2011, and they’ve come back from scratch; Porsche has been away [from the top category] since 2017 but they stayed in the WEC with GT cars.
Peugeot completed testing totalling several thousand kilometres with the 9X8 LMH to prepare for its first programme in sportscar racing since 2011, but its first two race outings so far have been marred by a variety of technical issues. Asked about Porsche's decision to turn down its invitation to Bahrain, di Resta said he feels Peugeot’s own troubles in making its LMH contender reliable shows that manufacturers can’t rely entirely on private testing.
