The Proton Competition Porsche is set to be withdrawn from this week’s Sebring 1000 Miles World Endurance Championship season-opener following its crash in free practice.The #88 Porsche 911 RSR-19 entered in GTE Am sustained chassis damage when Ryan Hardwick clashed with the Chip Ganassi Racing Cadillac V-Series.R LMDhProton boss Christian Ried said: “It’s the chassis; we have a spare one in Europe, but not here.
Any remote hope of Proton continuing with the #88 entry at Sebring hinges on the German-based team being able to borrow a car and get it to Sebring in time for the race on Friday.The damage occurred when Hardwick hit the wall on the run to the Turn 7 hairpin after he was clipped by Richard Westbrook as the Caddy driver moved over to take the racing line for the braking zone into the right-hander.
“On the onboard, Ryan is on the left side and [going] straight – there is nothing he can do – he just gets pushed out.”
