Porsche takes third and fourth places at Spa-Francorchamps

On May 6th 2017, Chopard continued to support Porsche Motorsport LMP1 team as official timing partner during the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps. In the last race before the Le Mans 24-Hours, the Porsche 919 Hybrids finished third and fourth in front of 61 000 spectators.

The trio of Earl Bamber, Timo Bernhard and Brendon Hartley lost time due to a slow puncture and ended the race in third position. The sister car of reigning world champion Neel Jani, André Lotterer and Nick Tandy started from pole position but was unfortunate with the timing of two “Full Course Yellow” periods that neutralized the race. They finished just behind their team mates. Chopard ambassador, Brendon Hartley set the overall fastest race lap that underline the 919 Hybrid’s potential. Chopard and the whole Porsche LMP1 Team are ready for the fight of the race at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and will campaign for victory.

After the second of nine rounds in the FIA World Endurance Championship, Porsche ranks second in the constructors’ standings. In the drivers’ world championship, the Porsche crews are currently second and third.
