Following a double stint, the French driver relinquished the car to Kvyat who, along with Bortolotti, ended up taking fourth. During the opening portion of the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps Pin took the race lead in mixed weather conditions before dropping to second after an overtake from Tom Blomqvist. She lost second to the #31 WRT car in the pit stop phase, but would soon take back the position she held until the end of her run. Despite strong drives by her two teammates, a three-minute stop-and-go-penalty for a Safety car infringement meant that the #63 ended up tenth by the chequered flag.{{Cite web |date=2023-04-30 |title=WEC: Doriane Pin stars as late race penalty ends podium chance |url=https://www.racers-behindthehelmet.com/post/wec-doriane-pin-stars-as-late-race-penalty-ends-podium-chance |access-date=2023-05-19 |website=Racers |language=en}} At the end of the season, she won the FIA WEC Revelation of the Year Award, becoming the first woman to do so.{{cite news|url=https://www.irondames.ch/news/doriane-pin-crowned-2023-fia-wec-revelation-of-the-year/|title=Doriane Pin Crowned FIA WEC Revelation of the Year|publisher=Iron Dames|date=5 November 2023}}
