So is there a fed for tommorows practice session?

And will they ever re-use the 90s mobile one livery, my personal favourite?

Audio only on Radio Le Mans site.

Can nobody spell Porsche properly ?

Pink Pig is one of my favourites too.

One of my favourites too. I had this stolen from Maison Blanche back in 2012 following a lengthy bare frame rebuild :'(

If its going to make a return it'll be this year so keep an eye out!

Given that Rothmans cigarettes are still sold around the world (and still in their traditional colours in less nanny-state countries) I wonder how Porsche got round the ban on tobacco advertising with that paint job? They even talk about the "Rothmans" livery on their website.

Not complaining though, I think they both look fab and I might even have a dabble when the inevitable Spark Model collectors' double pack is released...

I'm surprised they officially mentioned the R-word as I assume there isn't a problem having certain colour schemes as long as they aren't getting paid for it.

Yeah, me too. The photo gallery on the link above is labelled "Starting number 91 in Rothmans paintwork"

Cheeky!

It was the factory teams official name for quite a few years so I'm sure (in the same way that Marlboro-Ferrari was allowed in F1) there is a loophole. The historic cars have used the "racing" version of the paintwork for years, much like they did in the non-tobacco races in period.
I think they're great, its just a shame the 919 didn't get something as good when it was racing.

I would have imagined France would have been quite strict on it, as they had the tobacco advertising ban in place before many other countries.

Would have loved to see a pink pig 918.

yes, love the retro pit garage, such a change to all the corporate shiny gloss we normally see these days.

Best sounding car I’ve heard for years - apparently each one is hitting nearly 130db... and there’s 10 of them.
Epic.
