LinkedInPorsche confirms 911 RSR customer programme
Porsche has confirmed that its mid-engined 911 RSR will be made available to customers next year as part of the manufacturer’s focus on GT racing.
Dr. Michael Steiner, Porsche’s R&D chief, has confirmed that the race-winning GTE model is set to compete in the hands of privateer teams. He also added that the company plans to make more cars available that can compete in different classes, such as the next GT4 car.
Although Porsche is bringing its involvement in LMP1 competition to an end, the marque is likely to make additional efforts at the GT level. Not only is Porsche’s factory involvement in the FIA World Endurance Championship and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship set to continue, but other series are now also under consideration.
“We’ll closely watch, mainly in Europe, championships we do not attend,” Steiner said. “There is some potential. We’ll also intensively think about what we could do to make customer racing more attractive.”
