The new Porsche 911 RSR (2019 model year) will meet rival vehicles in the GTE-Pro class for the first time at the prologue of the FIA World Endurance Championship on 23 and 24 July in Barcelona, Spain. At the official tests prior to the start of the 2019/2020 FIA WEC season, Porsche, as the reigning world manufacturers’ champions, will run two of the new ca. 515 hp racing vehicles from Weissach. The new Porsche 911 RSR was unveiled at the beginning of July at Goodwood in Great Britain. In the GTE-Am category, the customer squads Project 1, Gulf Racing and Dempsey Proton Racing will field a total of five 2018-spec Porsche 911 RSR racers.

Will Owen returns to the Europeans Le Mans Series with United Autosports in the LMP2 class for the 4 Hours of Barcelona.

“The championship starts now. After two positive races and a long break, we are set to be back on-track to confirm the good showings of the first part of the season.” For Jerry Canevisio, the leader of Oregon Team alongside Giorgio Testa, the 4 Hours of Barcelona race marks a turning point.
