Kévin Estre rumored to be loaned to Toyota for WEC in 2027

Here’s a real silly season doozie: Porsche is rumored to have struck a loan deal to let Kévin Estre drive for Toyota in the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2027. A guy like Estre doesn’t sign a factory Hypercar deal only for his team to pull out of WEC, so it seems only right. He does not deny the rumor, but he does affirm that he will still drive for Porsche next year, meaning in IMSA.

This connects with a rumor that Mike Conway will leave Toyota to join the Ford Hypercar program, so Estre would be filling that seat. There’s a lot bubbling under the surface for Toyota drivers, with growing influence over Haas F1, a new GT3 car coming soon, lots of pieces to move around.
