Porsche 919 and Audi R18 LMP1 Cars at Sebring

Post by airkooledchris » Fri Mar 07, 2014 10:53 am

Audi and Porsche both are testing at Sebring right now, and someone was lucky enough to get footage of them both on track.
This is the first footage of their actual 2014 models (and latest aero packages) on track.

First a fun little video from Porsche introducing their new prototype:

And the promised Sebring footage...

With the return of Porsche - the battle between them, Audi and Toyota for top LMP1 honors, in this years WEC series and the 24H of Le Mans, should be epic.

I do not understand the modern aerodynamics. The arcs behind the wheel wells look like negative pressure city . . . freeaaakkkkyyyy looking cars.
