Under the motto "Mission 2014. Our Return" Porsche is returning in 2014 to the LMP1 class of the FIA World Endurance Championship after an absence of more than a decade. The new efficiency-based regulations of the WEC requests future orientated hybrid technologies which also will be realised in the serial production. DMG MORI, as the exclusive technology partner of the Porsche Team, will support Porsche in its return to the top class of sports car world motor racing championships (WEC).
