Porsche - Customer teams on pole at Le Mans

Perfect result for the Porsche customer teams in the hyperpole of the 24 Hours of Le Mans: Dries Vanthoor sensationally took pole position in the fiercely contested GTE-Pro class on Thursday evening at the wheel of HubAuto Racing's Porsche 911 RSR in 3:46.882 minutes.

The Belgian, brother of Porsche works driver Laurens Vanthoor, prevailed in a close time chase against strong competition from all factory teams. In the GTE-Am category, the 911 will start from the first three positions on Saturday at 16:00.

Porsche Young Professional Julian Andlauer from France was more than half a second faster at the wheel of the #88 Dempsey-Proton Racing car than Benjamin Barker in the identical GR Racing car and Matteo Cairoli in the #56 Project 1.
