Also - Porsche has offered all their current LMP1 drivers a program that will allow them to continue with Porsche in some capacity.

Only endurance racing that Porsche is doing outside of GTE and GTLM is GT3, which is in common with fellow VAG marques Audi/Audi Sport, Bentley and Lamborghini.

Porsche is considering use of Low downforce package at Fuji:

Yes, congratulations Porsche, they've been brilliant since they first came to the championship and they are quite rightly ending on a high. They've been a welcome addition to the championship.

Congrats to Porsche, just wish they didn't resort to team orders letting the team who lucked into the LM win take easy victories the rest of the season. I feel it cheapened the championship fight.

I agree, they should have allowed the other car to beat the Toyota crews.

In some motorsport they are worried that the SC is too slow.

hope memory helps me, but as far I can remember, 2014 porsche 919 had some kind of FRIC (a system introduced in f1 by mercedes the same year, but later banned). During le mans race, in late hours, rear supensions failed (because of V4 huge vibrations according to some rumors).
2015 919 was basically a whole new car from scratch under the bodywork, and if am I not wrong, FRIC layout was dropped. |

Porsche announced publicly that they'd be running the 919 in a modified and unrestricted form throughout this year as a "farewell tour" to try and break some track records as well.
Well... http://www.endurance-info.com/fr/la-...francorchamps/ ...apparently the mods include a Pikes Peak-style rear wing. But in all seriousness, the article says the car was spotted running at Spa with a near-army of engineers on hand. |

That is really cool!
I wonder if they will be allowed to do a lap on Circuit de la Sarthe? |
