Re: Porsche Back in Le Mans with LMP1 2014
They have already spoiled it...Thanks to God this is the road course and straight closed sections will never be the same as the straight part of Hockenheimring. What a track it was...
Where are old SPA, AVUS, Monza... ehhh
Spyderidol, to your opinion, what is the best era of motorsport?

Spyderidol:
Personally I enjoyed the 70"s . The cars were fantastic,the drivers were excellent , and there was still romance tied into motoracing. It was a time when men were men, and women were nervous.
Me too))) especially 917 vs 512 and can-am. Also, AU vs MB 30's (streamliners). Awesome times
Great true engineering (not todays "genious" developments like blown diffusers) and great drivers.

Re: Porsche Back in Le Mans with LMP1 2014
Ferdie:
Spyderidol:Yes, 650hp + KERS is very likely. If they do decrease the weight, then we will have some reasonably quick cars.
I am not even sure they will arrive at 650+ hp as this power figure is only required to be faster than the LMP2 and GT cars on the straights. I could seriously imagine that they will limit output to less than 600 hp but put a bigger emphasis on the KERS technology and allow them enough thrust for the straights.
Given that the estimated power figure for the new turbocharged F1 engines is circa 650 HP, I doubt that LMP1 cars will have that amount of power with the same V6 1.5 litre, single blower layout. These are endurance racers after all and have to last much longer than F1 cars.

Well they cant go too much below 600hp , as GTE's are already pushing 500 bhp and LMP2's are also in that range.
Now a days, reliability is not the issue that it once was.
In fact here is a quote from an article in Formula1.com that indicates that the engines will be the same as those used in F1:
Q: (Sam Collins - Racecar Engineer) And for Le Mans? The ACO has announced they are going to accept a full Formula One powertrain, including gearbox, engine, everything from 2014 onwards for Le Mans prototypes - so is that another market you could move into and is it something you are looking to do?
Jean-Francois Caubet (Renault Sport F1): I don’t think so.

Re: Porsche Back in Le Mans with LMP1 2014
No) I want to see the real competition between 2 classes, like it was till 1993) F1 has a weak manufacturers support compared to previous years, only MB and Ferrari remain, so lmp1 has got a chance) Toyota returned, Porsche will return, possibly Nissan, Jaguar, Peugeot(there were leaks that they will wait till 2014)... will see)

Re: Porsche Back in Le Mans with LMP1 2014
Rumored: The end of diesel engines expected in the 2014 rules!!!
(Personally this makes me very happy indeed)!
Also - From what I gather: the less a car consumes (petrol) the more it will be allowed to recover from hybrid system. (Not sure I have this right).
I'll try and confirm these rumors ASAP.

If it is true, what will AUDI do when Porsche returns.

Ok - So technical regulation will only be published tomorrow.
In the mean while this may help in showing us what to expect:
Nice graph on page six that helps give clear picture.
