New 911 RSR takes second place at race debut – victory for 911 GT3 R

A successful race debut for the new #porsche #911rsr at the #24hoursofdaytona: With a fantastic charge through the field in the last hours of the race, #porsche factory drivers Patrick Pilet (France), Dirk Werner (Germany) and Frédéric Makowiecki (France) secured second place in the GTLM class for the #porsche GT Team factory squad. After 634 laps on the demanding Daytona International Speedway, they were just 2.988 seconds shy of claiming victory. However, a win at the season-opening round of the #imsa SportsCar Championship was celebrated by the #porsche customer team Alegra Motorsports: With the #porsche 911 GT3 R and supported by #porsche factory pilot Michael Christensen (Denmark), the squad won the GTD class. For #porsche, this was the 77th class victory at the world famous long distance classic in Florida.
