The 2023 6 Hours of Portimão was an endurance sports car racing event held at the Algarve International Circuit, at Algarve, Portugal, on 16 April 2023. It served as the second round of the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship, and was the second running of the event as part of the championship.[1]

Background

[edit]

The 6 Hours of Portimão was the first time since 2021 that Portimão returned to the World Endurance Championship calendar.

Entry list

[edit]

The provisional entry list was revealed on 6 March 2023. The entry list consisted of 11 Hypercar entries, 12 LMP2 entries and 14 LMGTE Am entries. There were no changes in entries compared to the Sebring entry list. There was one change for the entered drivers: António Félix da Costa replaced Will Stevens in the No. 48 Hertz Team Jota Oreca 07 LMP2 entry.[2]

On a revised entry list revealed on 11 April 2023, Project 1 – AO replaced their drivers P.J. Hyett and Gunnar Jeannette with Miguel Ramos and Guilherme Oliveira, respectively. Both Hyett and Jeannette had duties in the Porsche Carrera Cup North America during the weekend. Other changes included Juan Manuel Correa taking over Andrea Caldarelli's seat in the No. 9 Prema Racing LMP2 machine. At United Autosports, Ben Hanley subbed for Filipe Albuquerque and Giedo van der Garde subbed for Tom Blomqvist in the No. 22 and No. 23 LMP2 machines, respectively, since both Albuquerque and Blomqvist drove in the GTP class during IMSA's 2023 Grand Prix of Long Beach.[3]
