Last weekend the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) series heated up again after a long summer break at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA). As the Official Timing Partner of Porsche Motorsport since the beginning of the season, Chopard supported the Porsche teams in the Austin, TX FIA WEC as the Porsche 911 RSR teams came in second and fourth position and the Porsche 919 Hybrid cars ended at the fourth and fifth place.
At the six-hour race on the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, the Porsche 911 RSR finished second in the GTE-Pro class race. At the fourth round of the World Endurance Championship (WEC), the French Porsche works drivers Patrick Pilet and Frederic Makowiecki looked like they might even bring home their second trophy of the season in front of 50,000 spectators. But although they held the lead until shortly before the finish, they were finallly beaten to the flag after a fight by a mere sixteen seconds.
Perfectly in line with the spirit of the Superfast watch collection, the partnership with Porsche Motorsport is an extension of Chopard's longstanding commitment to automotive sports.
