Porsche Motorsport chief Thomas Laudenbach has affirmed that the company’s high-performance racing program is set to continue despite Porsche AG’s broader corporate reorganization. Speaking to Motorsport.com, Laudenbach confirmed the ongoing two-car IMSA GTP initiative, stating, “That is correct. Nothing has changed on that.”

The cuts are meant to increase productivity and cut operational costs.
Laudenbach also addressed the implications of Porsche’s evolving stance on electric vehicle adoption and the upcoming unified technical regulations for top-tier prototype racing, which could begin in 2030. He reiterated Porsche’s commitment to endurance racing and participation in the ongoing discussions for the 2030 rules, emphasizing that the firm remains active in shaping the future of motorsport.
