    Re: WEC: Porsche Team management restructuring

    Toyota will be very quick next year (and are revising their engine).

    I have a hard time believing the Audi rumors (although it all makes perfect sense).  I think that Audi will be the car to beat next year.

    GTE pro - All depends on BOP. A really sad state of affairs that has completly turned me off following GTE

    Re: WEC: Porsche Team management restructuring

    I don't share your pessimism with regard to GTE next year.

    If Porsche gets the new RSR right (including power and powertrain configuration, etc), it may well be competitive with the Ford GT, the 488 and AM without overly cumbersome BOP artificially skewed in Porsche favour. 

    Let's wait and see what they come up with.

    Re: WEC: Porsche Team management restructuring

    I have no doubt Porsche may be competitive. I just don't see the point. As soon as one make/car gains dominance, then BOP is applied to the others that are less competitive...and the whole cycle begins again. It's not that I'm against BOP being artificially skewed in Porsche's favor (quite debatable) . It 's the principle of this very intrusive BOP type racing that has me disinterested.
