Race
The Porsche customer team KCMG concluded this year’s 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps in seventh place. With Nick Tandy from the UK and Norway’s Dennis Olsen, works driver Laurens Vanthoor from Belgium turned heads with a sensational charge through the field: after experiencing problems in qualifying, the trio had to start the Belgian endurance classic from the 65th and last spot on the grid. At around 7 o’clock on Sunday morning, the three even snatched the lead with the 911 GT3 R after about 14 hours of racing. Ten hours later, Vanthoor, Tandy and Olsen crossed the finish line 1:13.409 minutes behind the winning Mercedes-AMG of Akkodis ASP.

As the second-best Porsche, the 911 GT3 R fielded by EMA Motorsport took the flag in P22. Works drivers Matt Campbell from Australia, Mathieu Jaminet from France and Felipe Nasr from Brazil were initially relegated down the field by a puncture a good six hours into the race. At around 2am, the three profited from a full course yellow and thanks to a flawless drive, rejoined the leading group. However, they had to bury their hopes when they were shunted by a rival after three-quarters of the race. The repairs that were needed cost them six laps to the leaders.

Position 25 went to the No. 56 Porsche 911 from Dinamic Motorsport, driven by Italy’s Giorgio Roda, Mauro Calamia from Switzerland, Norway’s Marius Nakken and Mikkel Pedersen from Denmark. Dominik Fischli (Switzerland), Patrik Matthiesen (Denmark) and the two Germans Joel Sturm and Vincent Andronaco crossed the finish line with the No. 22 Porsche campaigned by Allied Racing in P29. With Christophe Hamon from France and the two Thai drivers Piti Bhirombhakdi and Tanart Sathienthirakul, the New Zealander Earl Bamber concluded the race in 30th place. This result earned them third place in the Pro-Am classification. In this class, professional drivers share the cockpit with gentleman drivers. In 2015 and 2017, Bamber won the 24 Hours of Le Mans at the wheel of the 919 Hybrid as a Porsche works driver.
