No 2024 Le Mans race for Seb
2024 Le Mans 24 Hours entry list confirmed without Vettel
Sadly for those who want to see Seb in a race car again it wont be happening as many hoped at this years Le Mans......Seb Vettel is not among the 186 drivers who will compete in this year’s Le Mans 24 Hours.
The Automobile Club de l’Ouest which organises the Le Mans 24hour, the classic jewel round of the World Endurance Championship, has confirmed the list of competitors for next month’s race. No Vettel on the list, even as a reserve.
Seb tested a Porsche 963 Hypercar back in March in a full Factory test programme, prompting speculation he was considering an appearance in the race. Porsche has, as expected, added a third factory-run car for the La Sarthe event but it will be shared by Felipe Nasr, Nick Tandy and Mathieu Jaminet.
There are also three Porsche 963 Customer cars entered, 2 for Jota and one for Proton. Jenson Button will be driving in one of the Jota entries.
Maybe next year for Seb.
