That is absolutely wonderful.

Whow those look good, not sure the rothmans livery would be allowed in the race these days but the pink pig looks brilliant

**joeb** · 2 Jun 2018, 12:11 (Ref:3826201)

That's what I get for complaining about the boring factory liveries! I'm going to try complaining more if it works out that good!

GT6 · 2 Jun 2018, 12:25 (Ref:3826204)

Well i actually saw the pink pig in the eighties so it will be good if it races in 2 weeks, the best porsche livery ever, IMHO.

**Aysedasi** · 2 Jun 2018, 13:30 (Ref:3826207)

Now if only they could do the other two like this.....

I had that same thought, but I guess if it doesn't actually say the name and they aren't getting any sponsorship from a cigarette firm it doesn't count.

Is Rothmans even around anymore?

GT6 · 2 Jun 2018, 14:43 (Ref:3826220)

Well a certain f1 team still get money from a tobacco firm i believe, Yes Rothmans are still about. I know in classic motor racing the cars are in period sponsors so tobacco still aloud but the models in the gift shops are always changed slightly to allow them to be sold.

They actually are. I looked it up, but the Porsche has the colors of Rothmans, but not really a recognizable design, like day Marlboro would be. Which raises the question could you have a car with the red and white chevron design of Marlboro, without the name involved?

Kudos to Porsche, splendid looking cars.

Great liveries and a good reminder of Porsche's heritage in racing prototypes.

I think that TMG carried "implied" Marlboro sponsorship at Le Mans in addition to the Zent (#1), Venture Safenet (#2) and Esso/Exxon (#3) sponsors in 1999:

Doh! Just realised that! Sleepy head this morning!

TF110 · 3 Jun 2018, 08:27 (Ref:3826364)

Rebellion is pretty close to the Toyota's. Only a tenth right now.

Interesting that the sector times are backwards from what was expected (at the moment). S1 and S3, Rebellion purple. S2, Toyota purple.

Akrapovic · 3 Jun 2018, 08:31 (Ref:3826367)

Worth remembering that the Ginetta doesn't have a low downforce kit yet - it still isn't ready. So expect them to be at the back of the LMP1 grid.

**Aysedasi** · 3 Jun 2018, 08:35 (Ref:3826369)

It didn't take Fernando long to get up to some speed......

Elaviel · 3 Jun 2018, 08:36 (Ref:3826370)

What caused the red flag? I was asleep!
