Some interesting facts:
  • the release rate of the hybrid system (short burst vs smoothly over a longer time) can be changed depending on the track characteristics
  • they have not yet done a 24 hour endurance test
  • the decision to run only one hybrid car after Le Mans can still be changed
  • they balance the car better because of the weight reduction
  • the side pods are lower
  • they have a rear view camera now, but the visibility to the right is still terrible
  • Bernhard and Dumas are not in the hybrid version because they are involved in the Porsche 2014 program
Sounds a bit strange, but makes a lot of sense.
Personally i would have taken in new drivers instead.
