When the racing season kicks off in North America with the 24 Hours of Daytona (28/29 January), the Porsche Penske Motorsport team will launch a new Instagram account focusing on the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the FIA World Endurance Championship WEC with the new Porsche 963. Simultaneously, @Porsche.Motorsport will also start on Instagram. This social networking service covers all of Porsche’s motor racing activities. Moreover, additional personal contacts with their specific areas of expertise are available to journalists for any queries.
With Porsche’s return to the fight for overall victories at the world’s largest endurance races, the sports car manufacturer from Stuttgart steps further into the international spotlight. To satisfy the increased media interest, Porsche Motorsport and the Porsche Penske Motorsport team provide additional services. In addition to the popular Twitter channel @PorscheRaces, which reports virtually in real-time on all motorsport activities from the GT and sports car segment, @PorscheFormulaE covers the brand’s commitment in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
