“We’re delighted to welcome Nick Tandy back and to have Frédéric Makowiecki join the squad,” commented Thomas Laudenbach, Vice President Porsche Motorsport. “With Nick and Fred, we know exactly what we’re getting: total commitment, a wealth of experience and incredible talent. The results from the years 2013 to 2020 underlined very clearly what Nick Tandy is capable of. He has won the major endurance classics at Le Mans, Sebring, Daytona, Spa-Francorchamps and the Nürburgring-Nordschleife. Nick belongs to real winners. I’m certain he’ll bring all of his expertise in 2023. Fred Makowiecki knows our new Porsche 963 inside out. He drove the first metres in the LMDh prototype in January and he has worked meticulously in the simulator, tirelessly testing the car to advance its development. I have no doubt that our ten-man squad for 2023 is a force to be reckoned with!”
The first test drives in the new prototype for the FIA World Endurance Championship WEC and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship are planned for December.
