Looking forward to hear your thoughts!
Welcome to the forum!

I think your final statement rings very true in this situation. Porsche could experience some problems finding the perfect balance with the weight and, of course, the handling, but as long as their car is durable than they should be doing just fine.

As far as the engine specification and performance goes, I can't add much because I primarily concern myself with the slightly more trivial points, predictions, media buzz, driver changes, et cetera, but it all sounds very promising. But in terms of next year's competition, we can't expect too much attrition, at least if we measure it by this year's standards which was, of course, very minimal.

I'm looking forward to seeing it on the track competing against other LMP1 cars. Very exciting times in sportscar racing ahead.
