    Re: VW Group at Le Mans

    Joost:

    Thanks for explaining Spyder and Kudrya! When you mentioned “oval”, I was looking for something like 911-style oval, and couldn’t for the life of me see what you meant!

    You are welcome Joost! 

    Have wondered a bit on design too. Cant say its a 100% porsche language.

    No rear wing. Interesting look from the rear:

    Yep, pure shadow concept. In theory it is the best from aero point of view. In reality - very sensitive to suspension setup and kerbs.

    Great! Considering that williams engineering has changed the owner several days ago it will be funny to see everyone without the hybrid system)))

    Re: VW Group at Le Mans

    What I see is the 200 bar direct fuel injection pump. Also looks like the gearbox is made from metal casing, magnesium i think. No expensive solutions like carbon fiber case with alu cartridge in 919. From the engine that is chosen, brake disks and gearbox config this car is much much more conventional than a totally inconventional 919.

    Around the exhaust shielded toray carbon fiber heat protection. Probably it is hot vee.

    919 was not the beauty, but it was the highest tech car. This one no, but it was expected

    I dont know... maybe, however weissach is too small to test such a car. Maybe they continue to test the systems.

    Re: VW Group at Le Mans

    Yes. It would be just a general test.

    However, it is more likely that they are testing on an undisclosed track somewhere away from the prying eyes of the motorsport paparazzi.

    Re: VW Group at Le Mans

    My speculation of what the 12 driver line-up could look like:

    Porsche works drivers (age/nationality) Championship Class
    Gianmaria Bruni (39/Italy) WEC LMDH
    Kévin Estre (32/France) WEC LMDH
    Mathieu Jaminet (26/France) WEC LMDH
    Frédéric Makowiecki (40/France) WEC LMDH
    Pascal Wehrlein (26/Germany) WEC LMDH
    Nico Hulkenburg (34/Germany) WEC LMDH

     

    Porsche works drivers (age/nationality) Championship Class
    Matt Campbell (25/Australia) IMSA LMDH
    Neel Jani (36/Switzerland) IMSA LMDH
    Laurens Vanthoor (29/Belgium) IMSA LMDH
    Josef Newgarden (30/USA) IMSA LMDH
    Felipe Nasr (29/Brasil) IMSA LMDH
    Dane Cameron (32/USA) IMSA LMDH
