By the way, I think your Toyotas are going to be a real threat this year.
I hope GT+ or whatever goes back to a GT1 type formula. A set weight and dimensions with a target power level. Bop is a temporary solution. 500hp 1200kg, go! Thats my take at least.

Porsche won't walk all over WEC but their problem () is they never break and they are just so well versed. Drivers in check. Egos in check etc. The same can't be said of many Ferrari teams. Fast but just lacking in other areas not related to the racecar.

Basically, the rules are set and the cars are build. The 991's will be as fast as all the top teams but they'll simply outlast everyone else. As long as they won't run into any amateurs or something like that.

I kind of just didn't know where to throw this but it's GT? oh maybe the TUDOR thread. But within the article. It says that this film was applied no only to the Rahal indycars but also the Z4 ALMS cars.

Well ..... I think Porsche could have done a nicer job with the livery . I got more color variety in my underwear .....

I can see somehow it growing on me cuz its base colour is white which I like ..... but Im not pleased with the Gt car .

Between American and WEC ..... whats all the gray and white about . Complete lack of colour which in my mind is a bit sad .

Does anyone have a list of the Porsche factory drivers for this year?
I got a list of the 14 who were at Daytona 24Hrs - http://www.autoweek.com/article/2014...scar/140129920
But are there others?

These are the drivers that have full factory driver contracts as far as I'm aware (GT and LMP1):

Nick Tandy
Patrick Pilet
Richard Lietz
Patrick Long
Joerg Bergmeister
Michael Christensen
Fred Makowiecki
Timo Bernhard
Romain Dumas
Mark Webber
Brendon Hartley
Neel Jani
Marc Lieb

The others named in that article are "juniors".

Missed Wolf Henzler & Marco Holzer. I'm also not sure if Earl Bamber is a junior.

Also_ I believe Klaus Bachler has been given a full contract.

Bachler is still a 'Porsche Junior'. This will be his third year with the funding.

It's the same level as Ribera, de Phillippi and Sven Muller.

Some more info here: http://www.motorsport-magazin.com/po...or-kader-2014/

No, they're saying that they're going to decide next year what they're going to do, and admitting that F1 was an option.

No- "Porsche is committed to racing its new 919 Hybrid in the World Endurance Championship, a programme announced in June 2011, for the next three seasons.

Hatz said that a decision on its motorsport future beyond that would likely be made sometime next year."

Okay, I was reading the comment in the context of whether the move to F1 after those three years was already decided or not. Misunderstanding on your comment on my part, sorry.

No problem!

I really hope they stay in Sportscar Racing. It will help if they have done their homework correctly with the configuration of the 919.
