About
A Porsche driver since 2016, Estre was a key part of the 2018 Le Mans class-winning Porsche GT Team alongside Christensen and Vanthoor. He took victory at this year’s WEC season-opener in Qatar, finishing second the following round at Imola and Spa.
An Enduring Spirit
Endurance racing is all about the team. Estre believes putting ego to one side is key: “The whole group has to work, the harmony between all these people makes you win a race, and not your own performance on one lap.”
He credits that team with the improvements for 2024, which have already led to success, and believes “everybody has to be able to work together to create the results.”
Le Mans is a race which the whole world knows about, even if you are not a motorsport fan.
