"Lotterer will be offered a programme by Porsche, along with all its outgoing LMP1 drivers, and he stressed that he wants to "keep a foot in endurance racing whatever happens". - Autosport

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.

There has been some noise (soft) about the possibility of a 3rd GTE entry at Le Mans

Porsche is considering use of Low downforce package at Fuji:

It may do them only good, IMO.

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.

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.
