After being responsible for the manufacturer’s GT program and hold the role of head of the Porsche motorsport department since 2019<\/strong>Pascal decided to step aside.<\/p>\n

But nevertheless, Zurlinden will continue to have the Porsche LMDh prototype under his supervision<\/strong>, the great project that the German firm had when Pascal Zurliden left the company. A circumstance that can only occur with the appointment of Pascal Zurliden as the new Director of Performance Engineering at MSVO, Multimatic’s racing department<\/strong>.

Multimatic’s MSVO department has a very defined job and deals with the development of high performance vehicles and Multimatic’s commitments in competition. For that reason, the arrival of Zurlinden is an incentive for the company<\/strong>, since under Pascal he has extensive knowledge of the LMDh regulations after playing a decisive role in the decision of Porsche and Audi to develop prototypes under this regulation. Thus, all their knowledge is kept within the projects of both brands<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

larry holt<\/strong>, Executive Vice President of MSVO, has welcomed Pascal Zurlinden: \u00abWe have competed against Pascal and he has proven to be an exceptional technical partner<\/strong> and a tough rival when we pitted our Ford GT against the Porsche 911 RSR. He is a highly skilled engineer with an intuitive sense and great focus to lead any project. We are very lucky to be able to have him on MSVO<\/strong>. As Porsche partners, it can only improve both companies keeping Pascal in the fold<\/strong>\u00bb.<\/p>\n
