🗣️'We barely had a chance. Under these conditions, we weren’t able to achieve more than fourth and fifth place.' PorscheRaces believes a Balance of Performance change prior to the Monza FIAWEC race left it at a disadvantage to Ferrari and Corvette ⬇️
The German manufacturer propped up the five-car GTE Pro field in the 6 Hours of Monza, with the best of the two 911 RSR-19s finishing nearly a minute down on the race-winning #64 Corvette C8.R.
“Because of this rating, we barely had a chance. Under these conditions, we weren’t able to achieve more than fourth and fifth place.” Estre questioned the stewards' decision to hand him a penalty for what he felt was “tough but respectful racing”, but conceded that the Porsche simply didn’t have the pace to keep up with its rivals at Monza.
“I don’t agree with the pitlane drive-through penalty towards the end of the race – that was tough but respectful racing. It wasn’t enough for a podium result today.”
