911 RSR prepares to go for gold

Two factory Porsche 911 RSRS will be on the driver line-up for 2022’s World Endurance Championship

Porsche has set its sights on racetrack glory this year, with a pair of 911 RSRS entering the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). A slightly revised driver line-up will feature over the championship’s six races. Gianmaria Bruni and Richard Lietz will once again drive the No. 91 RSR, while in the sister car Kévin Estre will swap seats with Michael Christensen in the No. 92. The pairing took class victory at Le Mans three years ago as well as taking title victory in 2018/2019.

The first race of the new WEC season takes place on 18 March at Sebring, Florida, USA, while in the summer the two 911s will tackle the historic 90th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. There the driving team will be bolstered by support from two further Porsche factory drivers: Frédéric Makowiecki and Laurens Vanthoor.
