WEC: Porsche shakes down 2023 LMDh prototype

Porsche shook down its LMDh (Le Mans Daytona hybrid) prototype, set to contest the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2023 in parallel factory programs run by Team Penske and other private teams.

The first run, delayed from before the Christmas break, saw the car driven by Porsche factory river Frederic Makowiecki and took place at Porsche’s Weissach test track.

Porsche has provided these images and short video.
