🗨️ JANI'S VIEW: @NeelJani has revealed that he had committed to being part of a continued Porsche 963 effort by @ProtonRacing in the @FIAWEC and was taken by surprise when the project collapsed at the last moment.

Sometimes things are hard to understand when everything was in place to go racing in 2026! Thank you @ProtonRacing for the last 3 years of racing and a shame you were denied to keep competing in Hypercar @FIAWEC

[Proton Competition @ProtonRacing]

Despite weeks of discussions and every effort from our side, our team Proton Competition will not be able to field a Porsche 963 in the 2026 FIA WEC.

After the exit of Porsche Penske Motorsport, Christian and Michael Ried explored every possible option to keep two Porsche 963s on the grid next season. Unfortunately, the conditions needed for a private entry could not be reached.

We want to express our gratitude to the people who stood with us throughout this journey: Ferdi Porsche, F.A.T., Mustang Sampling, Ken & Brenda Thompson. And a warm thank-you also to ACO and LMEM for being by our side until the very last moment.

To all Porsche fans: we know this will be disappointing. We truly hoped to continue seeing the 963 racing in WEC and at Le Mans, and that same passion motivated us to keep pushing for a solution. Still, we look back proudly at what was achieved.

This update concerns only the 963 project. All our other Porsche programmes continue to be evaluated as we shape the best possible lineup for the future of Proton Competition.

We’re not slowing down.
We keep moving.
And, as always… thank you for being part of this journey.

Challenging last race for us 🫣 We lost our torque sensors early in the race leaving us 25hp down on power for the rest of the race🙃
Thank you to the team and both Nico’s for your efforts during this year💪 Highlight clearly was leading the race shortly in Fuji😃!

🗨️ "ONE MAN SHOW" @NeelJani has asked Porsche to share more information with its customer @FIAWEC team @ProtonRacing, which he described as a “one-man show” following a disappointing @24HoursofLeMans.

💬 HIDDEN GAINS: @neeljani feels Proton Competition is performing better in its second full @FIAWEC season with the Porsche 963, but that its progress has been hidden by the Weissach marque's wider competitive struggles.

[Porsche Motorsport @PorscheRaces]

#WEC - Did you know? In the 2024 #6HSpa, the #Porsche963 from customer team @ProtonRacing led the race for 57 laps - more than any other car in the top #Hypercar class. At the end, the No. 99 finished the @FIAWEC at @circuitspa in P5

[neel jani @neeljani]

That was a fun first quali for me in the 963 :)!

[Proton Competition @ProtonRacing]

Congrats to @neeljani for sealing an impressive P4 finish in today’s #HypercarHyperpole
He finished in P10 in the first qualifying phase, he then powered through the Hyperpole to clinch one of car #99’s best results in this #WEC season 👏🏻

#ThrowbackTuesday

We are going back to 2014 a decade since @FIAWEC last hit the @InterlagosTrack #6HSaoPaulo it was the first victory for the new LMP1 car #Porsche919 with @RomainDumas @LiebMarc & @neeljani behind the wheel, sadly the sister car had a dramatic crash at the last turn with @AussieGrit onboard #PorscheOnTrack

[neel jani @neeljani]

LM24 wasn’t kind to us this year. We had a quick car in the race & good strategy calls but a door issue & broken drive shaft forced us to focus on just finishing on privateer podium. Thanks to Proton for the hard work and to the fans, who once more made Le Mans special🙏🙌.

[Woidherr @Woidherr90]

tada here is the finished @neeljani @ProtonRacing #drawing
and yeah as i said i fucked it up in the end, so don´t look closer🤣
also big thx to Neel for his time and the short talk! Feel so bad for you guys, cause you deserved the win in spa😐️
