Before porsche rs spyder ALMS official penske program, Bernhard had not any prototypes experience, and in few years he became one of the best, if not the best, audi lmp1 driver. Lieb can do the same path IMHO.

Porsche need someone who can come in and perform right now though. Not in three year's time.

I think he is able. He wouldn't be testing if they had no faith in him. If he ends up in a seat, he impressed.

Pretty much stating the obvious. It's a try-out. He doesn't know how he'll do. Us keyboard experts don't either. Good luck to Marc.

Given his technical expertise he could be very valuable if he's also sufficiently fast behind the wheel. None of the other drivers are also engineers!

Can someone explain in a nutshell Lieb's "engineer" status now and in the past? This is often mentioned but never read anything about it. Does he also have a degree or something?

He works approximately 25 hours per week as an engineer in the Porsche Motorsport Performance department, which is responsible for racing activities. In addition, he was professionally involved in developing the 911 GT3 RS 4.0.

He has an engineering degree from the University of Applied Sciences in Esslingen.

Didn't he actually take time off from his racing in '08-'09 to finish that degree? I remember a longer interview with the RLM guys at the Nurburgring 24h back in '08 and he was talking about both his racing career and his engineering degree.

I believe he's being groomed to be the next Norbert Singer

Yeah, I think he was willing to step away from racing and put his priority on engineering as a longer and more secure career, but Porsche of course let him do both. Pretty nice setup.

car did for sure some laps today, late morning...access to the Autodromo is forbidden, even the outside zone from "Prima variante" to "Ascari" (not strictly Autodromo but, instead, Monza park) is covered with security personnel...when Peugeot did the same some years ago the "Prima variante" outside grandstand was open, not the case this time...I prefer to stay out of trouble so I won't try to get in, maybe a pro can consider it, to get some worthy ($$$) spy pics

for some unknown reason, yesterday porsche started the test with a 2008 RS spyder evo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhdVv...layer_embedded

the green, white and red kerbs confirm that is a genuine and fresh video and not a 2008 clip.

I was trying to catch a glimpse of the helmet to see if it was Marc Lieb by any chance, maybe getting an acclimatization run in a relatively recent LMP car before actually jumping in the 2014 LMP1 car?

EDIT: Scratch that, Endurance-Info has a clearer picture of the car and it's Timo Bernhard's helmet. Odd. http://www.endurance-info.com/fr/por...acing-a-monza/

Picture also shows a crude DSLR rig on the front end which is most likely in filming mode.
