« Compete in my FIA debut WEC at Spa-Francorchamps is an excellent opportunity in the run-up to the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Alongside Kévin Estre and Laurens Vanthoor, I have two experienced teammates from whom I have a lot to learn. I'm really looking forward to racing on a circuit as legendary as Spa. »

« I am super happy to support Porsche Penske Motorsport as an official reserve driver at Le Mans and to be able to make my contribution to the major goal – although, of course, I hope not to have to intervene, adds Nico Müller. I am also looking forward to returning to the WEC and competing in the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps alongside Julien Andlauer and Michael Christensen. After my stint at Sebring in IMSA and the tests carried out, I will be able to accumulate some more important laps at the wheel of the Porsche 963. It is a fantastic opportunity, and I would like to thank Porsche Penske Motorsport as well as my Formula E team, Andretti, for making it possible. » The two men will replace Matt Campbell and Mathieu Jaminet respectively, who are held up by the IMSA round at Laguna Seca.
