This story also came up before the opening World Endurance Championship race in Qatar.  Porsche will not debut the updated crankshaft for the Porsche 963 GTP/Hypercar until after the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June.  So, the car will only have the revision for the second half of both the IMSA and WEC seasons.

GM and Cadillac Racing boss Laura Wontrop Klauser state firmly, and unequivocally, there are no plans for the brand to offer the V Series.R to customers.  Therefore, the two factory teams in the form of both Chip Ganassi Racing and my mates at Action Express, will be the ones to race it for the long haul.  This means, I believe, that Porsche is still the only brand with a customer level Hypercar/LMDh/GTP, with their 963.

A story that crosses over between IMSA and WEC since both championships are affected by it and so is Harry Tincknell's racing schedule between his roles in a Proton Competition Porsche 963 in WEC and a factory Ford Mustang GT3 in IMSA, both fielded and operated primarily by Multimatic.
