I'm also a bit disappointed by the lack of color on the car, but it'll look good all flyspattered, oily and with loads of brakedust on the sides.

Here is a strong family resemblance. both Audi and Porsche are white and grey. I wish Dave Maraj would get, if possible, some of these cars to bring them several colors.

Since the debut (excluded 2010 and 2011 #1 darth vader car at spa and le mans) audi always used a white-grey-silver base colour to respect this tradition. |

If these pictures are correct, the 919 is using springs instead of torsion beams for its front and rear suspension.
![]() ![]() Note how extremely short the engine is on the second drawing ![]() The gearbox casing appears to be partially made from carbon. The cooling air seems to be ducted to the radiator (left side) and the intercooler (right side), a bit similar to the Aston Martin AMR-One. ![]() |

You're absolutely right, but as you can see modern lmp1 don't have a so important main sponsor that could influence the livery design. Work and Semi-Work DBR9 GT1 were racing green, then prodrive obtained gulf sponsorship and the official cars changed livery because of the new sponsorship. The official 911 GT1 and GT1 evo were white too, mobil1 and IBM were sponsors.

http://www.motorsport-total.com/wec/...-14030403.html contains a bit more technical details.
This article mentions a rev limit of 9000 rpm for the 2.0 V4 monoturbo engine. It confirms that Porsche will run with the 8 MJ hybrid configuration and that the exhaust recovery system only acts as an electric generator (so no anti-lag possibility). |

9000rpm? wow, sincerly I'd expect no more than 7500 from a 2.0 turbo with fuel flows.

There hasalways been a lot of helicopter footage from LeMans - not so good for attendees but good on TV, way back when that was about all the US saw of the GT40s. |

The Porsche's official specs says the width of tires is 360mm,but in my memory,the new LMP1 regulation limits it in 350mm。The regulation has been changed?

That must be a typo, because the dimensions of the 2014 Michelin LMP1 tyres is 31/71x18.

This video was posted a few pages back...
http://special.porsche.com/microsite...iler_en-us.mp4 But it does seem to definitively answer the questions to the purpose of the color correction cards we have seen taped to the cars during testing. As I and others suggested, they digitally removed the dazzle paint and then dynamically applied the livery. They also took it another step to insert a CGI version of the car exposing the interior tech. It all is pretty much as I expected. Just compare the video above with the video from the early February Monza tests (dazzle livery + color correction cards + CGI reference markers).

It seems odd to me to use coil springs for a few different reasons. First, it just isn't what everyone else is doing today in prototypes or F1 (for quite awhile I assume). Second, the RS Spyder used torsion front and rear and it worked for them then! Last (combining both points actually) I would expect that everyone involved, between existing and new (sourced from other prototype or F1 teams) design and engineering staff would have a large amount of experience dealing with a torsion setup. So why pick a tech that is generally unfamiliar to them (at this level) and likely has no known benefits. Personally I don't believe they are going to use old school springs. Richard |
