Tuck, Levorato Return to Proton’s Ford LMGT3 Effort

Ben Tuck and Giammarco Levorato will remain part of Proton Competition’s Ford LMGT3 effort in the FIA World Endurance Championship, as the Christian Ried-led squad prepares for its third season with the Blue Oval.

Tuck and Levorato, who are both Silver-rated by the FIA, will each pilot one of the team’s two Ford Mustang GT3 EVOs for the globetrotting championship, which kicks off with the Qatar 1812km in March.

The lineup announcement comes on the same day that Proton confirmed that it will not return to WEC’s Hypercar category with its customer Porsche 963 effort.

Levorato scored Proton’s only podium finish of the season last year, capturing second in class during the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps in May.

The remainder of the lineup for the two cars will be confirmed at a later date, with the full season entry list for the championship expected to be released early next week.
