Re: Porsche RSR caught testing at Sebring
It could be easily argued that what you see in the rear tail opening is one or two intercoolers. Right int he middle there is three lines which look like an intercooler core...
Certainly looks mid-engined if nothing else!

Re: Porsche RSR caught testing at Sebring
The rear diffusers certainly took up the room previously occupied by the rear mounted engine.
I wonder if Porsche also reverse the intake and exhaust too when they moved the engine, like mount the exhaust and turbos on top, and the intake on the bottom, the air flow underneath will certainly help cool the charge even more.
Would be interesting to see the packaging.

Exhaust pipe location seems too low for that.

Mithras:Also looks like the rear wing is attached below the body (goes through cut-outs).
I wonder if the wing acts directly on the suspension instead of the body???

That's what I thought as well but that's been illegal almost everywhere since Chaparral 2E in 1966?

Re: Porsche RSR caught testing at Sebring
By the way, it has just been announced that Audi will withdraw from LPM1 with effect from the end of the 2016 season!
Could well be a shot in the arm for the focus on GTE, with BMW joining in 2018 as well. May be it is time for the FIA-ACO governing body to learn from the IMSA organizers in the US in terms of how to get BoP right.
Re: Porsche RSR caught testing at Sebring
The new RSR came 5th in qualifying practice at the 24h Daytona race, 0.8 sec off the pace, Ford GT first, second and third, 488 was fourth.
Is this the usual sandbagging or does the car lack pace right out of the gates...? The race will hopefully give us a conclusive answer.
Re: Porsche RSR caught testing at Sebring
Boyko23:Number 911 Rsr is leading now with 17s ahead of second place holder.
That is no longer the case...

Re: Porsche RSR caught testing at Sebring
Less than 11 seconds spread between the top 6 cars after 22 hours.
I think the new RSR can be considered competitive, especially compared to last year's car. This is the first race for the new car and perhaps some tweaks can be done to close the gap even further before Le Mans.
