Porsche Penske Motorsport has announced that Pascal Wehrlein will join its driver roster for the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans and will drive alongside Felipe Nasr and 2015 Le Mans winner Nick Tandy in the #4 Porsche 963.
30-year-old Wehrlein is the current ABB Formula E World Champion, having secured he tile in the #94 TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team Porsche 98X in a season that saw the German pilot take three wins and a further two podium finishes.
2025 has seen Wherlein experience prototype competition for the first time when he joined JDC Miller Motorsport for the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January. Alongside teammates Bryce Aron, Gianmaria Bruni and Tijmen van der Helm, Wehrlein and the JDC Miller squad brought the #85 Porsche 93 home in 6th.
Vice President Porsche Motorsport Thomas Laudenbach is delighted that Wehrlein is joining the Porsche team for the French endurance classic.
“Pascal Wehrlein has fully convinced us with his performance in testing and his participation in the 24 Hours of Daytona,” he said. “As the reigning Formula E World Champion, he has earned his Le Mans debut at the wheel of the Porsche 963.”
For Pascal Wehrlein, competing at Circuit de la Sarth is the fulfilment of a long-held ambition.
“Competing for Porsche Penske Motorsport at Le Mans is a dream come true for me,” said Wehrlein. “I’m looking forward to this major challenge because, unlike Formula E, I have to share everything in the Porsche 963 that I would normally tailor specifically to myself: seating position, setup, strategy and more.
“Of course, I want to add major titles in other series to my Formula E World Championship victory but my primary goal is to do a strong job for the team and learn as much as possible. Porsche has such an iconic motorsport heritage; I am extremely grateful for this opportunity.”
The 2025 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans gets underway on June 14th.
