I'd still love to see the F1 rule compliant engine though......

I agree. Very interesting article about the focus on technology, teamwork, trying new things and knowing that there will be mistakes but also knowing that the team will learn from these and improve. The two buildings close to each other that have different purposes but they are connected and there is realtime interaction between the two.

Being 'Mr. Relevance', I liked this comment (Google translation from French to English), "...relevant ideas to the production car. It has been the case for me. I started my career in motorsport and, thereafter, I worked on production cars and will bring my ideas."

To me, this means that the philosophy of the connection (relevance) between prototype endurance racing and the production street cars is important, is real and is a goal. This is super important to me and one of the reasons this sport is so intriguing.

You can't run just Le Mans nowadays. The invitees need to take part in one of the LM Series or the WEC. And since P1 are eligible exclusively in the latter, Porsche need to sign up for WEC in order to run in LM24.

LM24 debut? I figured that might be a bit too late. Maybe they will try for Spa if everything is going well.

I'm sure if Porsche wants an LM24 Debut. Porsche gets a LM24 debut.

Mr Domingos Piedade (former AMG Chief) said in Eurosport Portugal that he had a chat withMr. WOLFGANG HATZ who said about the new Porsche LMP1 that everyone was going to be amazed by the technology that Porsche will bring to Le Mans, especially the engine...

Porsche Rules....

If that doesn't mean more like in a "similar technological level" way, but instead refers to configuration, then

It is confusing since Cayenne doesn't have just one engine or what is "the" engine for the Cayenne it is most known for?

I'm thinking there will be a LOT of disappointed fans/posts on here when they announce some low displacement turbo something. They are the only ones to run an F1 engine if VW wanted to make use of the regs but there's no way their interest could have been kept quiet long.

Porsche will reveal its LMP1 drivers today.

http://www.motorsport-magazin.com/we...jungspund.html summarizes the rumors from the paddock: Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas, Mark Webber, Nick Heidfeld, Neel Jani, and Jean-Karl Vernay.

He will complete the current season for them, yes. But he'll still be employed by Porsche in the meantime (for testing).

Great choice, by far the fastest Rebellion driver.
