Henkel, through its Loctite brand, proudly supported TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team on the journey to their first ABB FIA Formula E World Champion title, won by Pascal Wehrlein.
Porsche Motorsport is constantly improving the Porsche 99X Electric in regards of efficiency and reliability and LOCTITE provides adhesive solutions for many applications, both in the Porsche development workshops and at the racetracks.
LOCTITE joined Pascal Wehrlein for his debut in Le Mans, building on his strong performance as the Porsche’s factory driver and becoming the 2024 Formula E World Champion. Wehrlein drove the legendary Porsche 963 hybrid #4, sharing the cockpit with Felipe Nasr and Nick Tandy.
This collaboration is about top-performance and reliability, as much as it is about technical advancements and innovation. The 24 Hours of Le Mans is one of the world’s most prestigious endurance motorsport events, pushing the limits of engineering, team strategy, and drivers’ precision in the relentless 24-hours-long race.
TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team relies on Gabriela Jilkova for their test drives. One of the top Czech racing drivers, Gabriela started her career in racing at the age of 8 in go-karting. She showcased her talent in many racing categories, her most significant achievement being winning the GT Winter Series in the GTS class. In 2023 she joined TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team as the test and development driver.

The deployment of these products ensures complete mechanical reliability for a host of key applications, which extend from suspension bearings, gearbox housing parts and powertrain bolts, through to steering wheel components, O-rings and cables. Porsche test rigs for engines and gearboxes also benefit from the high-performance LOCTITE solutions.
