Neel Jani will be driving a Porsche LMDh after all despite his split with the German manufacturer. The Swiss driver has joined Proton's WEC line-up for the second half of the 2023 season:
Le Mans 24 Hours winner Neel Jani will join Proton Competition’s LMDh assault on the World Endurance Championship from July’s Monza 6 Hours.Jani will share Proton’s sole #99 Porsche 963 hybrid contender with Gianmaria Bruni and Harry Tincknell in the final three races of the seven-round WEC season.
“I am very excited to join Proton Competition on their new journey in prototypes and want to thank the team for their trust," said Jani."I have known Gimmi and Harry for a long time and am looking forward to teaming up with them for this challenge“. The Swiss driver previously enjoyed a successful stint in Porsche’s LMP1 programme that saw him take the Le Mans 24 Hours/WEC title double in 2016.
Bruni and Tincknell will drive as a duo for Proton’s IMSA GTP debut at Road America in August and then Indianapolis in September, but the team will require an additional driver for the season-ending Petit Le Mans enduro at Road America.
