Why Porsche’s final Le Mans driver choice is intriguing
OPINION: Pascal Wehrlein is set for his Le Mans debut in June as the Formula E champion will drive the third factory 963 LMDh - but Gary Watkins wonders if this is actually the right decision from Porsche
Seasoned hands at the Le Mans 24 Hours like me are fond of a historical precedent - and so too, it seems, is Porsche.
It has decided to bring in Pascal Wehrlein from its Formula E squad for the World Endurance Championship blue riband in June and give the reigning FE title winner the chance to win the race on debut with a seat in the third factory 963 LMDh. Debutants, big names and otherwise, have done rather well for the German manufacturer over the years.
