Proton’s history with Porsche dates back to the very launch of the team in 1996 by Gerold Ried and it has remained a loyal partner of the German marque since then. This year, it expanding on the partnership by fielding one example each of the 963 LMDh in WEC and the IMSA SportsCar Championship on top of its regular GTE Am programme with the 911 RSR.
However, while Proton will continue to be a Porsche customer in top classes of both WEC and IMSA for the foreseeable future, it will run a separate programme with Ford in the new LMGT3 division that will come on steam next year to replace the existing GTE Am division.
