The 5th round of the FIA World Endurance Championship, the 6 Hours of Fuji, took place at Fuji International Speedway on October 11th and 12th. The Porsche Team celebrated its second podium finish of the season with the Porsche 919 Hybrid, while the second car finished fourth in the six-hour race at Fuji, Japan. The two Porsche 919 Hybrid cars proved again their uncontested supremacy over the race.
In the LMGTE PRO class category, the No. 92 Porsche 911 RSR lost all its chances of clinching a top spot after the start on the challenging Grand Prix circuit. Heading into the race, Patrick Pilet (France) was tangled in a collision caused by another competitor, which resulted in major damages to his 911 RSR. Re-entering the race having undergone repair, Patrick Piletand and his compatriot Frédéric Makowiecki saw the flag in sixth place. Jörg Bergmeister (Germany) and Richard Lietz (Austria), competing together for the first time for Porsche Team in Fuji, arrived two positions in front in fourth position.
