I like the coupes look more than the Spyders.
But in these times, I'll take any Prototype there can be raced! |

I wonder will Porsche make customer cars available of their new prototype?
They usually do after a year or so. If I were looking at P1 that is the route that would most likely offer the strongest package but probably cost more. |

Cost would likely be the reason you took this over an OAK/Dome/HPD but there's sometimes value in running something different to the rest. |

I think what he means is the relationship between Hugues de Chaunac (Oreca boss) and Toyota. |

I was under the impression that they didn't have any sponsorship at all, and therefore they choose the pig-livery. Not that there were no sponsornames on the car because they found the car pig-ugly.

I seem to remember reading the full Pink Pig story in Motor Sport a while back, and having quickly checked in Norbert Singer's book (24:16, well worth a read) I think the principle was that the got the French aerodynamicists at SERA to come up with a body kit for the 917 (the 917-20) it ended up being painted with the butcher's cut livery due to a level of disparagement about what the car looked like. Now falling back on memory, I think there was a degree of controversy over how fast it was and what impact the aero mods had on certain parts, which has led to a debate over what it should have been able to achieve, perhaps reinforcing the reputation of the car, which the livery established. If I can be organised enough I might be persuaded to wear my Pink Pig appropriate t-shirt, which I think a couple of you have seen, to the Saturday morning meet for a quick comparison to see whether the 917 was accurately labelled... |
