Jurassic Park Le Mans
Project 1 has been synonymous with successful Porsche customer entries in worldwide GT racing for 25 years. This was obviously the best possible reputation for P. J. Hyett and his AO Racing Team to work with the experienced Porsche squad for the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans. The 100th anniversary of the endurance classic also signalled the spectacular GTE cars' retirement from the World Championship stage. At its last appearance, the Porsche 991 RSR once again provided a real spectacle as the team brought the Rexy livery so popular in the IMSA series to Europe. The grinning Tyrannosaurus Rex was the idea of Hyett's children.
At Le Mans, the green prehistoric beast with big feet, short arms and bared teeth quickly became an absolute crowd favourite. Starting driver Matteo Cairoli also showed his teeth when he drove the 911 from 15th position after qualifying to the top of the GTE class in just 12 laps. Matteo Cairoli, P. J. Hyett and Gunnar Jeannette led the class for almost half of the race and were still battling for a podium finish 50 minutes before the chequered flag when a suspension damage forced the Dino into the pits. Three laps lost due to the late repair meant only 7th place in the GTE Am in the end. Rexy was angry!
