Those 2 cars were run by Joest . Daytona outlawed the turbo , leading to the withdrawl of both cars from Daytona where the Andretti's were down to drive one of them .

They were run in Le Mans 95 and 96 by Joest Racing , with Joest contracted drivers . They were basically given to Joest to play around with , as Porsche had nothing to keep Joest busy at the time .

The factory took control in 1997 and did some hideous aero work . I reckon Porsche wanted their GT1 to win and not the proto .

The correct name for the car is TWR Porsche WSC95 .
