Vanthoor and Estre will be paired in the No. 6 Porsche 963. Felipe Nasr continues in the team’s No. 7 Porsche 963 alongside Andlauer. Nick Tandy, who co-drove to three-straight victories with Nasr to open the 2025 GTP season, has been reassigned to GT racing by Porsche.

Matt Campbell, who co-drove to the 2025 drivers’ title with Mathieu Jaminet, will be the No. 6 team’s third driver in the longer distance Michelin Endurance Cup races. Jaminet has departed to join Genesis Magma Racing’s new LMDh prototype program.
Porsche has promoted Laurin Heinrich from the GT ranks as the third driver in the No. 7 entry for the long-distance events.
It is expected that Penske will use four drivers at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, adding Josef Newgarden and Scott McLaughlin from its IndyCar program.
