I would say pretty good.

In 2014, when entering the Porsche 919 Hybrid for the first time and competing in the eight world championship rounds, the Porsche Team achieved six podium finishes – including its maiden win at the season’s finale in Brazil.

Just love the sound from the Audi R18 LMP1.


Wonder if he kept his ride for 2015? Probably not.

It will definitely be interesting to see if/when anyone is able to dethrone the Audi dynasty there.

Porsche is the leader in Overall Titles since they started racing LM in '51...time to get back the dominance they had with the 956/962 cars.

They're hitting 205mph on the Mulsanne before the chicanes.  Insane to think there are homes along this stretch  8) ;D
Average lap speed record (which is still standing) 151.2mph.  Porsche 956.  This was before they put the chicanes in :P
