Although I still think 2014 will be a learning season, and one test session does not a season make, it certainly is a very good start for Porsche.

There has been a lot of hand wringing in the past little while over fear that Porsche has lost its way with the racing program. I think some things (such as the turnover) might be greatly exaggerated. The main reason I have faith in Porsche is the 918, which is an engineering masterstroke in its own right and shows that Porsche is right at the sharp end of integrating hybrid technologies.

Oh, and 340 kph... WOW.
