The upcoming season will be the first where IMSA’s new-for-2023 LMDh regulations for its premier GTP class will race in the Hypercar class of the FIA World Endurance Championship, allowing Porsche’s 963 to race on both sides of the Atlantic.
There, it will race against Le Mans Hypercar machinery from fellow automotive giants Ferrari, Peugeot and Toyota that are built to a different rule set that allows for bespoke hybrid systems, which are also allowed to power the front axle. The LMDh system is a common electrical hybrid that harvests and deploys on the rear axle only.
