Re: Porsche Back in Le Mans with LMP1 2014
As predicted in my earlier posts and according to Auto Motor und Sport, Porsche plans on start testing their LMP1 early next year (2013) and actually racing it (if the FiA/ACO allow them to) by the end of next year. It wont be scoring points, but the purpose is to gain the experience required so as to have a competitive car at the start of the 2014 season.
According to Wolfgang Hatz, the engine development is going very well and they are already gaining some experience in the wind-tunnel.
Also - Porsche plan to have a GT entry in the 2013 Le Mans as a testing ground for the team.
It will be very interesting to see what car they enter. Will it be the GT3 R Hybrid, or will it be the 918RSR?
