Sebastian Vettel, four-time Formula 1 world champion (2010 to 2013), will soon test the Porsche 963 Hypercar. The Porsche Penske Hypercar team will indeed offer the German driver an opportunity to participate in a test in the form of a 36-hour simulation, scheduled for next week in Aragon (Spain), as part of the preparation for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. . Vettel will share the wheel with the team’s drivers, including Andre Lotterer and Michael Christensen.
An announcement which in no way prejudges a possible involvement of the German driver in the Le Mans event next June. And this even though he recently worked on the simulator with Porsche and completed a few laps on the German manufacturer’s private track.
Sebastian Vettel, however, explained: “I have always followed categories other than F1 and my curiosity for Endurance encouraged me to try. I can’t wait to get behind the wheel of the Porsche. I’m even excited. It will definitely take some getting used to, but everyone on the team is helping me. We will see what this new experience will bring me. At the moment there are no other plans for the future. ” For now.
Porsche has obtained a third invitation to enter a 963 for the 24 Hours of Le Mans and only one driver is confirmed to date, Mathieu Jaminet. An additional clue.
