Wehrlein is already familiar with the Porsche 963 from test sessions and his participation in the 24 Hours of Daytona and in late January, he bolstered the customer team JDC-Miller MotorSports.
In June, the reigning Formula E World Champion and past DTM Champion will take the wheel of the hybrid prototype for Porsche Penske Motorsport in his Le Mans debut - sharing driving duties with seasoned factory teammates Felipe Nasr - himself a former Formula E racer - and Nick Tandy.
"Competing for Porsche Penske Motorsport at Le Mans is a dream come true for me. I`m looking forward to this major challenge because, unlike in Formula E, I have to share everything in the Porsche 963 that I would normally tailor specifically to myself: seating position, setup, strategy, and more," says Wehrlein.
"Of course, I want to add major titles in other series to my Formula E World Championship victory, but my primary goal is to do a strong job for the team and learn as much as possible. Porsche has such an iconic motorsport heritage; I am extremely grateful for this opportunity."
"The Porsche driver roster is absolutely top-tier and incredibly deep. It only makes sense to leverage our strong personnel from the Formula E factory team for the third Porsche Penske Motorsport entry at Le Mans," explains Thomas Laudenbach, Vice President Porsche Motorsport.
"Pascal Wehrlein has fully convinced us with his performance in testing and his participation in the 24 Hours of Daytona. As the reigning Formula E World Champion, he has earned his Le Mans debut at the wheel of a Porsche 963. António Félix da Costa, making his seventh start in France, will undoubtedly be among the fastest LMP2 drivers once again."
While Wehrlein will first need to acclimate himself to the unique demands of the Circuit des 24 Heures in June, his Formula E teammate and Season 6 champion António Félix da Costa is no stranger to the legendary endurance race.
The Portuguese driver is set for his seventh Le Mans start. In 2022, he won the LMP2 class behind the wheel of an Oreca-Gibson. The following year, he took on the 24-hour challenge with a customer Porsche 963.
"I am very happy to be back at Le Mans after one year absence," says the 33-year-old. "In my last LMP2 appearance, I won the class. That’s my goal again this year. I can’t wait to attack alongside my teammates in June."
