Porsche’s experience in Endurance is invaluable. Porsche has been winning sports car races since before I was even born. As a childhood fan of the brand, I grew up with their successes at Le Mans, Daytona and the Targa Florio. There are times when I just can't believe that I am now a member of this great team. »

It is with the factory driver, his compatriot Patrick Long, that Patrick Dempsey will compete next year. Other appearances in the Porsche Supercup, a championship contested alongside certain Grand Prix of F1, are also planned.
