Porsche DOMINATE 2024 Seasons of WEC and IMSA

[@Diego-gx1zn]

This year Porsche has lived up to expectations, which doesn't surprise me. Because in the past Porsche has shown with many cars that in their debut season it is difficult to be a really competitive car, but from that point onwards with more development the cars end up being very competitive as they have been this year both the 963 and the 911 gt3 r (992). And for 2025, they already have a clear goal: we want to win Le Mans’, says Urs Kuratle, Racing Director of the Porsche Factory Team.

[@purwantiallan5089]

Porsche in 2024 IMSA SEASON & 2024 FIA WEC Season is as dominant as 2005 Renault F1 Team.

[@Inazuma68]

Being a passionate car driver for almost 40 years, I own a 996.2 GT3 and I can tell you, that Porsche is something special. I‘m not sure what it is, but you feel a precision which no other car can give you

[@stephencurry8552]

Wonderful recap. Much information gained.

[@matthewmullen2303]

I want to see a 963 ran by AO Racing, could have it in red/orange and model it after a raptor maybe?

[@FormulaJonah]

That would be very cool! Maybe in the future!

[@joshuabracero8581]

I did not expect this when I first started working for them

[@ChaseSchofield-dj2pb]

*_REALLY?!?_*

[@purwantiallan5089]

​@@ChaseSchofield-dj2pbi also shocked to see how dominant Porsche truly was. Only 0.01% people expected this from very beginning of 2024.

[@eliasmaissour437]

this is flipping total domination, but they'll really suffer with bop next year so competition will be closer

[@timmynicolas8729]

They’ve already suffered a lot post Qatar and proved that despite the pace of the car they always manage good results

[@eliasmaissour437]

@timmynicolas8729 well you cna only limit a car so much with bop. If the car is inherently good and a good platform that gives its drivers the confidence to push and is stable enough to deal with anything, bop won't be that effective(they proved it this year by winning with the worst bops) but it will hinder them on some tracks like le mans where you need as much power as allowed

[@timmynicolas8729]

@@eliasmaissour437 Rly hope the ACO and FIA start getting a lil more strict when it comes to sandbagging during the test week too. Porsche can’t do that but Ferrari and Toyota certainly can lol

[@timmynicolas8729]

@@purwantiallan5089 on pace the V-series is already great. Now it just needs good team execution, i wouldn’t be surprised to sure them and other lmdh really step up next year

[@heylolp9]

The fact that an LMDh HyperCar was dominant is amazing for the Hypercar regs The fact that it was underlined by the GT3s being dominant, that's amazing for the series Endurance Racing is currently probably the best professional 4 wheeled racing there is And I'd very gladly also be proven wrong

[@purwantiallan5089]

Endurance Racing has been Porsche's strongest suit since last year.

2024: Year of the Porsche.

[@amaccama3267]

I know it's a bloody long way to come down here. But I think you would have a blast visiting the Bathurst 12hr. Merry Christmas

[@purwantiallan5089]

2025 Bathurst 12hr gonna be a blast for sure.

[@eamonahern7495]

Even though I'm a Toyota and Buemi fan, and they're my favourite team and driver, my favourite car of the season was the Porsche Penske car. Also, with Hertz Team Jota doing so well with a customer 963 this year, I expect them to make the works Cadillac very competitive in the WEC in 2025.

[@purwantiallan5089]

I also love the Porsche Penske 963. This car look fantastic but shame it isnt added in GT7.

[@camrsr5463]

lets go!

[@CobraFerrariFth]

Hopefully we see next year the Big Ferrari Year in F1 and WEC! I hope in IMSA for BMW

[@GeeShocker]

They already got this year's LeMans handed to them.

[@CobraFerrariFth]

@GeeShocker I mean the Championchip Winnings

[@MonkeyDRuffy82]

​@@CobraFerrariFththe car is made to win Le Manse Note WEC.

[@phildunne7260]

Thanks FJ. Porsche had a great 2024 but I think their focus in 2025 will be victory at Le Mans. And I agree, you should come to the Bathurst 12hr FJ!

[@sanachristian4577]

Yes!! FJ!!! You should try to go!!! 🎊🎉 🏎️

[@roll_and_on_greatest]

Don't forget Porsche also won the Trophy Cup brand in Formula E against Jaguar by 8 points!

[@Ghostie117]

BOP in both series helps :)

[@purwantiallan5089]

Hope Porsche can win back to back GTP title in 2025 IMSA Season.

[@idkwhatowritehere-p3m]

It gives every team similar chances, so it still has merit

[@zilentzap]

of course it does, if only BoP meant anything then last year Lamborghini would have been "the fastest" but there more to it than that! ​@@idkwhatowritehere-p3m

[@user-swvn3ti2d]

And Porsche has in WEC manipulated the Race in Spa Franchomps

[@idkwhatowritehere-p3m]

@user-swvn3ti2d The typical cry of the tifosis 🤣

[@weihaoyu9801]

Toyota's win of the manufacturer's championship is far more legendary

[@bernardoberner4]

8:00 well depends on what your definition of competitive is, if its competing for the win then, no, we werent competitive at Lemons, but if its for the podium then maybe

[@zilentzap]

Fun year, needing to witness a 963 win at Le Mans 🙏🏻

[@purwantiallan5089]

The BOP (Balance of Performance) seemingly helped Porsche a lot throughout the entire 2024 IMSA SEASON.

Thoughts on BMW's driver lineup for their Hypercar program across IMSA and WEC next year? The IMSA lineup is an upgrade compared to this year which was weak and inconsistent (mostly down to Krohn and De Phillippi being erratic)

Do this for GTD Championship, GT World championship and a LMGT3 season review!

[@ronronchau]

963's massive car sampling is the main key of suche success, but the car itself isn't dominated as the design isn't being top of the line as Ferrari and Toyota, even the Honda-oreca could beat it if BoP nerf them by raw pace

[@yvesfortin3643]

Porsche was lucky to have the best BOPs during the season. The Toyota GR010, being the heaviest and hampered by reduced power for most of the season, is by far the best Hypercar.

[@nuztuz903]

who new a car with 2 extra years of testing and development would be better

[@jeffhufana2389]

So true. FIA favors the Germans😂😂😂

[@freshseth8325]

​@@nuztuz9032 Toyota's vs how many Porsche's? Theres 4 'factory' cars for Porsche between IMSA and WEC, all sharing data. That's 2 times what Toyota has. That data is huge for setups and tire knowledge etc. That's not including the customer 963's

Note to Elon it's importent to treat your workers with respect and involve them into the Design of your cars. Then the company even when build expensive cars are build with passion by everyone from a ceo to the worker.

Hi😊

[@FormulaJonah]

Hello!

[@alexachilles90]

Would you trade all this domination next year for a win in Le Mans?🤔

[@godfather95mbs33]

Its unfortunate that they werent able to win the most important thing-the 24 hours of le mans And won it? Porsche's daddy, a.k.a. Scuderia Ferrari🐎

[@timmynicolas8729]

Yep now just need 8 more to go to even catch up 😂

[@lucvincentmetz8144]

Porsche also won the Nürburging Endurance Series Speed Trophy (GT3 class title for the series) with Falken Motorsport and could've won the Intercontinental GT Challenge. They won the opening rounds (including the Bathurst 12h), but lost out to BMW due to a poorly prepared car at the 24h of Spa (which was down to the team getting it wrong and not an issue of Porsche factory support or the drivers) and another DNF at the final round in Indianapolis. The first one is just a regional thing, but winning the IGTC would've been the cherry on top. Still an awesome season, but you can't take this for granted with all major endurance racing categories having BoP nowadays. I just hope they get a better BoP for Le Mans next year and take their 20th overall win.

[@johnberger51]

Porsche adopted a strategy that Toyota uses. Toyota has Alexander Wurz for developing the drivers and cars. Porsche has Timo Bernhard for developing the drivers and cars.

[@user-swvn3ti2d]

It was only BoP Help

[@timtschocke2961]

Sure buddy

[@jansedlak8505]

And luck.

[@markhunt7434]

Like BMW had favourable BOP all year(we all know your a BM fanboy)

[@brucewayne1894]

Nothing to see here....

[@FormulaJonah]

Apologies if there was an error. Could you elaborate on where I said Indy was the final round please?

[@brucewayne1894]

It was actually MY mistake. I misunderstood when you said "final rounds" at 10:40 and went over the Indy race right after a quick recap of the Petit LeMans. My apologies

[@FormulaJonah]

No worries at all! Thanks for watching the video, I really appreciate it!
