Porsche has confirmed that it has decided to withdraw its two IMSA-based entries from this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans amidst cost-cutting measures brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to RACER, the decision is is understood to have been prompted by the need to reduce the cost of running at the event amid COVID-19 restrictions. This has brought the number of entries in the GTE Pro category down from 11 to 9.

The two entries, run by CORE Autosport, were supposed to feature the trio of Nick Tandy, Earl Bamber and Matt Campbell for the #93 Porsche 911 RSR-19, while the #94 car was supposed to be piloted by an all-French lineup of Patrick Pilet, Mathieu Jaminet and Julien Andlauer. It is currently unclear if all six drivers will see involvement in the French endurance classic elsewhere.

Porsche’s two FIA WEC full-time entries remain on the entry list. Reigning champions and 2018 class winners Kevin Estre and Michael Christensen once again team up with Laurens Vanthoor in the #92 car, while Gianmaria Bruni and Richard Lietz are joined on board the #91 car by Fred Makowiecki.
