We know that car is economical on fuel, tires, and the driver. That's what I would want to be in over 24 hours. Is their a 911 driver who hasn't spun off in free practice? Those cars don't look comfortable on the track at all despite the speed they have shown.
The drivers have said as much. The rear is loose and it seems the car has been optimised for as much straight line speed as possible. Whether or not they add a little more down force for the race to try and preserve the tyres is another question. You would imagine they will but i guess we wont know until the end of the first stint.
