You obviously misread. Don't expect them to win their first year. Thats all. If they win, it was better than expected, even for Porsche.

Reality seems to be sinking in. I hope this does not indicate some "difficulties" encountered during the first tests.

...and then again, it is testing, so it could sound totally different with the finished product. Porsche have already said most body panels have been redesigned from initial look, as well.

(http://msn.foxsports.com/speed/formu...mula-1-return/)

I read that AMUS article via google translation, point of the speculation seemed to be that IF WEC is not so successful and maybe if it is decided that group rivalry vs Audi is not so great idea after all, what would they do then. Just a column and 1+1 speculation, be aware of that if you only read the latter link.

Absolutely thinking it is going to be harder for Porsche to win. Toyota only had to beat one competitor.

Sounds to me like this is a reward for Lieb for his services to Porsche. I hope the tests go well but if I was a betting man I'd have him in a 991 next year.

Yeah, I've always thought of Lieb as a GT driver. He's never driven prototypes professionally, has he?

If it was Bernhard, Dumas, Webber, Jani, Hartley, Turvey rather than Bernhard, Dumas, Webber, Jani, Hartley, Lieb I wouldn't be too broken up.
