It definitely got me excited, & I haven't decided if I'm going yet.

In the video it sounds like they may be running a turbo charged petrol engine. Perhaps a smaller capacity engine, with a big(ish) turbo & the hybrid system filling in the hole where lag would be. Makes sense to me if they are.

any technical info out there ive missed? Are there going to take on toyota etc with a small capacity big turbo engine i see the ts030 last race this weekend and its replacement is said to have electric motors on each wheel .

come on porsche spill the beans ...

Porsche being very secretive about everything so far.

Mulsanne Corner's probably the bast place to check for any details.

Indeed they are, apparently one of the test cars caught fire of which was kept hush hush. Also it's suspected they are still sandbagging with the design on all public outings.

Be very interesting to see what comes about early in Dec with the official release.

will they be allowed to beat Audi though?

Clip of people sat outside the Cafe Honduras separated by nothing but the Armco barrier. Priceless. Did they realise how lucky they were to experience that ?

Not this...again.

I doubt they'd bother spending their money on it if they weren't

And not even that busy either! Maybe it was a test day?

My only experience of test day was in the late 90s and I was able to saunter up to the armco by the Mulsanne and stand and watch 'em screaming by for a good few minutes until gently moved back to the cafe by a gendarme.

It's a common lament about most things but Le Mans REALLY was better in the old days...
