They probably left the wec for f-e more to save face than anything. But that's an old argument, just not as old as the to F1 or not one

Onboard video of the 919 Evo.

This isn't the record lap. According to Porsche on Twitter this lap is 2 seconds slower.

In that case, it's hardly worth the effort to watch an obsolete LMP1.....

That's 10 seconds faster than the best we saw last weekend. It doesn't even look like it broke a sweat either. Too bad the cars can't really be that fast. I'd love it personally. That way every other class can go faster and no need for such stringent bop.

1 car =/= 15+ prototypes. There's no proof of that 1 car even flying except a picture with it's back up which probably came from hitting the tires. When cars flip, the front is usually up not the rear.

I could be wrong! But the one picture I have seen floating around has the rear in the air. My guess is he hit the tires and it spun/flipped?

If it does 1 rotation then the rear is in the air. I have no idea what happened, or even if the fact that 2 bad accidents happened to the same chassis is anything but a coincidence. But if I'm a driver of said car, I would sure like a full incident report from Spa.

Could be as simple as drinking from a plastic bottle without letting air in?! The bottle compresses and once you remove your lips from the bottle, air streams in.


Is there anything in the regs that bans flexible fuel tanks?

On a similar theme, you sometimes get a mild vacuum in your road car fuel tank leading to a hiss when you remove the cap to refuel (normally due to a blocked breather pipe) - perhaps you could take advantage of this phenomena to suck fuel into the tank at a greater rate.

Porsche is currently letting a multitude of journalists test drive the 919 hybrid from last year at Aragon.

If you are talking about the Spa record setting car, I don't believe it's that one but the 'regular' high downforce 919. At least that's what was shown on their Twitter account.

The Spa one that will never be used in racing you mean? I don't know if anyone will be thrilled by the Porsche. But it should be an enjoyable experience for them
