I like that the "new" livery carries the roof/window line of the 911:

Well that is better, three different looking cars at le mans, perhaps they listened to everyone saying how boring their cars looked and did something qbout it, well done porsche

I quite like the red livery. Can't wait to see it in action!

Good catch, that is spot on!

Simmi · 26 Mar 2015, 21:32 (Ref:3520045)

I love that Porsche are doing three different liveries for Le Mans. That's going to make it so much easier. I wish Audi would return to doing the same.

What's pretty crazy is that, despite slating the white livery for 12 months, I actually like it the most out of those three.

Giba · 26 Mar 2015, 22:20 (Ref:3520072)

Love it that each car will look noticeably different for Le Mans. Still not convinced on the livery itself but I do associate the livery with Porsche now so I guess it works on some level.

Salamus · 26 Mar 2015, 22:36 (Ref:3520083)

I wish they replaced the white car with yellow. Perhaps that is a bit too nationalistic.

Now if only they would listen to everyone saying how ugly the PIP livery is. But I guess nothing is ever perfect.

Would have preferred Silver over red. They need a silver German car

White or silver are the German racing colors. Porsche have used both, but white has been used more in its more recent history.

As I posted before, the white has grown on me too. I prefer the black. The red is the most eye-catching IMO.

GT6 · 27 Mar 2015, 08:04 (Ref:3520197)

i am sure everyone sees things slightly differently but IMHO the lack of imagination in the paint schemes on the LMP! cars is not helping the WEC push out into new audiences, the cars themselves will look broadly the same but a bright brash colour scheme can make a car stand out.

Spyderman · 27 Mar 2015, 08:16 (Ref:3520201)

Perhaps, but the lack of Live Timing at the prologue is more worrying for me. It's a lost opportunity to engage with the fans (world wide). They could really cash in (in PR terms) and they have missed it.

Spyderman · 27 Mar 2015, 08:40 (Ref:3520212)

I take it back!!! There is Live Timing!!!

My apologies WEC!

Creep89 · 27 Mar 2015, 08:45 (Ref:3520214)

Then please tell me where!

Edit: well, found it.

Ephaeton · 27 Mar 2015, 08:50 (Ref:3520215)

live.fiawec.com, of course. Still amateur, but better than nothing.

Spyderman · 27 Mar 2015, 09:09 (Ref:3520223)

Times are already way better than last year.

1:39.292 for Marc Lieb (?). That's pretty impressive.

Quick question however: Is there any fuel allocation restriction in place for the Prologue or are the LMP1-H guys free to use as much fuel as they want ?

Spyderman · 27 Mar 2015, 11:38 (Ref:3520279)

I don't know, but I would assume they (the teams) would want to stay within the fuel limits other wise it renders the exercise useless.

Rodger Davies · 27 Mar 2015, 13:14 (Ref:3520297)

Fine with white, but I genuinely thought the 'intelligent design' thing was a joke when I first saw it; it doesn't fit on the car - not that intelligent! Really don't like that livery.

However, they're bringing three 8MJ P1s so they can paint them however they damn well want. Unfortunately.

Wonder if someone forgot to tell Lieb to back off at the end of that lap this morning!

Spyderman · 27 Mar 2015, 13:14 (Ref:3520299)

oh boy! Dumas has just done 1:39.028

Bandicoot17 · 27 Mar 2015, 13:19 (Ref:3520302)

Absolutely flying!

Spyderman · 27 Mar 2015, 13:27 (Ref:3520307)

1:38.715 for Bernhard

gwyllion · 27 Mar 2015, 13:32 (Ref:3520308)

Impressive, next lap of Bernhard is 1:39.066.
