Primo podio per una squadra privata Porsche nella categoria GTP

Incredibile risultato per l’equipaggio della vettura n 59 del Team Proton Competition a Petit Le Mans per l’ultimo round del campionato IMSA. Un terzo posto che vale oro di fronte alle continue difficoltà che sia team che piloti hanno dovuto affrontare considerato l’enorme gap con gli altri equipaggi in termini di esperienza e ore in pista. Si deve lavorare ancora tanto per poter raggiungere costanti risultati ma sicuramente questa gara ha dimostrato che lo sforzo fatto finora sta dando i suoi frutti.

First Customer Porsche podium at Petit Le Mans

Incredible result for the crew of the No. 59 car of Team Proton Competition at Petit Le Mans for the last round of the IMSA championship. A third place that gives positive energy to the whole team after the continuous difficulties that both team and drivers had to face considering the huge gap compared to the competitors in terms of experience and track hours. A lot of work still needs to be done to achieve consistent results but certainly this race showed that the effort made so far is paying off.

ESORDIO DI GIMMI IN HYPERCAR CON PROTON COMPETITION

Il weekend della 6 Ore di Monza 2023 del campionato FIA WEC ha segnato l’esordio di Gianmaria Bruni e il Team Proton Competition nella massima categoria con la Porsche 963 n°99. Nonostante Gimmi e i suoi compagni di squadra, l’inglese Harry Tincknell e lo svizzero Neel Jani, non avessero effettuato nessun test prima della gara, sono riusciti a sorprendere tutti in pista, al punto anche di essere in testa alla corsa in certi momenti e andare oltre le aspettative. Purtroppo un problema tecnica all’auto ha costretto il team a ritirarsi ma Monza é stata sicuramente un banco di prova importante e proficuo. Il pilota romano avrà anche la possibilità di salire a bordo della nuovissima LMDh sempre con il team Proton sul tracciato di Road America il 6 agosto, nel campionato americano IMSA.

The weekend of the FIA WEC Championship’s Monza 6 Hours 2023 marked the debut of Gianmaria Bruni and Team Proton Competition in the top Hypercar class with the No. 99 Porsche 963. Although Gimmi and his teammates, the British Harry Tincknell and Swiss driver Neel Jani, had not done any testing before the race, they managed to surprise everyone on the track, even leading the race at some point and going beyond expectations. Unfortunately, a technical issue on the car forced the team to retire but Monza was definitely an crucial and fruitful test bench. The Italian driver will also have the opportunity to drive the brand new LMDh with the Proton team at the Road America track on August 6, in the American IMSA championship.
