“To be at the start of the championship as a works Porsche driver is an honor for me”, says Pascal. “I’ve always followed the brand in its long motorsports history and I have a huge respect for what they have achieved. I would like to thank Porsche for offering me this fantastic chance, as well as Monaco Increase Management and Salvatore Gandolfo for their support to my career in those years. Now I can’t wait to get acquainted with the team and start working at Weissach!”.
