2024 Le Mans 24h, Porsche 963. Proton Competition, a long time Porsche customer team entered a 963 for the entire FIA World Endurance Championship. The livery looks a bit like the old FAT color schemes. The first picture I took at Spa-Francorchamps in May and I must say that I liked that livery much better as it was almost identical to the 1994 Dauer GT1. For Le Mans, Proton changed the look with less red and more green.
