After a two-year hiatus, 38-year-old Nick Tandy has rejoined the Porsche Motorsport ranks with a seat in the team’s top-category car.  No stranger to the podium with Porsche, Tandy is probably best-known for winning the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans with Nico Hülkenberg and Earl Bamber in the 919 Hybrid.
Frenchman Frédéric Makowiecki, Porsche works driver since 2014, who has been heavily involved in the 963’s development, completes the driver squad for the forthcoming season. Teamed with Gianmaria Bruni and Richard Lietz, he won the 24 Hours of Le Mans LMGTE Pro class this year, in the #91 Porsche 911 RSR-19. 

We’re delighted to welcome Nick Tandy back and to have Frédéric Makowiecki join the squad,” commented Thomas Laudenbach, Vice President Porsche Motorsport. “With Nick and Fred, we know exactly what we’re getting: total commitment, a wealth of experience and incredible talent. The results from the years 2013 to 2020 underlined very clearly what Nick Tandy is capable of. He has won the major endurance classics at Le Mans, Sebring, Daytona, Spa-Francorchamps and the Nürburgring-Nordschleife. Nick is a real winner. I’m certain he’ll bring all of his expertise in 2023. Fred Makowiecki knows our new Porsche 963 inside out. He drove the first metres in the LMDh prototype in January and he has worked meticulously in the simulator, tirelessly testing the car to advance its development. I have no doubt that our ten-man squad for 2023 is a force to be reckoned witThe full list of Porsche Penske Motorsport drivers for 2023:
