This weekend\u2019s Fuji 6 Hours represents Porsche\u2019s best chance of a podium finish in the World Endurance Championship, according to Frederic Makowiecki.
, is hoping Porsche can return to the podium as the WEC moves to Asia for the final leg of the season.
Pressed on why he thinks Fuji would be more suited to the Porsche, Makowiecki explained that the 963 LMDh lacks the kind of consistency required to excel in the dry/night Bahrain 8 Hours title decider. “For sure, we miss a little bit of speed. At the beginning it was mainly high speed but now we compensated and we are significantly better in high speed.
“We are going in the right direction, it took longer to understand the direction we need to go than we hoped, but to say we are gonna win a race this year is optimistic.”Porsche has made significant strides with the 963 LMDh since the start of the programme, although results have proved hard to come in WEC, even as it has bagged two wins in IMSA SportsCar Championship with the same car.
