Porsche admits its hopes of a strong LeMans24 finish has been 'dashed' with all three of its factory cars dropping out of podium contention:
Porsche admits its hope for success at the Le Mans 24 Hours has been “dashed” after all three of its factory cars dropped out of contention for victory before midday at Circuit de la Sarthe.As the clock neared the 20-hour mark, the #5 963 LMDh was the Porsche’s best representative in sixth, six laps lap down on the leading #51 Ferrari, after losing time during the night with first a sensor problem and then a cooling leak that necessitated a 23-minute repair job in the garage.
With the customer Porsche 963 entered by JOTA also running into two separate incidents after briefly leading the race on Saturday evening, Porsche’s hopes of a record-extending 20th victory in the French endurance classic appear all but over with four hours still to go. “That’s a shame because at times our pace was very strong. Our hopes of success were high at times but unfortunately, this dream has been dashed.#75 Porsche Penske Motorsport Porsche 963 of Felipe Nasr, Mathieu Jaminet, Nick TandyMathieu Jaminet was in the #75 Porsche when it suddenly came to a stop at around 11pm local time. The French driver tried to get the car started again but eventually had to concede defeat, with a simple electrical reset unable to get the 963 going again.
