That's what I was thinking maybe a high power lithium polymer battery setup, and in the r/c car world as off late the same thing is happening with unbalanced cells or over discharged cells.

Pheeewwww!!! Thanks!

I've been racking my brain about Jani's birthday....

(in other words, who gives a sheet?)

Bandicoot17 · 8 Dec 2013, 16:45 (Ref:3341632)

That's the info he gave out on twitter...

Yet it was a more informative post than yours.

The idea behind my post was to inform that the LMP1 is up and running and being tested (after the rumored fire), not to communicate Neels birthday. My apologies if the backdrop to the comment was what was highlighted for you.

deggis · 8 Dec 2013, 18:07 (Ref:3341650)

I don't understand though why you didn't mention it was from Twitter even if you were too lazy to copy-paste a link.

So: https://twitter.com/neeljani/status/409673510152568832

That's the same photo Auto Zeitung article had - didn't look like a spy photo anyway.

deggis · 8 Dec 2013, 18:14 (Ref:3341651)

Remembering what Autosport earlier revealed about their testing plans, this one could be at Algarve:

Bandicoot17 · 8 Dec 2013, 18:19 (Ref:3341652)

Looks like it would have been around 18C as Jani mentioned in huis tweet

Bandicoot17 · 8 Dec 2013, 18:22 (Ref:3341655)

Check out @TheClosedOne's Tweet: https://twitter.com/TheClosedOne/sta...63777482940416

Definitely Algarve.

Edit:Asked if he's got anymore info but seems they're still testing the Spyder alongside it.
Edit2: No more information.

Good God man! Does it make any difference? If it is soo important to you , I'll be sure to post the link next time.

Actually what is said is that he does not recognize the "smaller LMP" that they are testing alongside the LMP1.

Bandicoot17 · 8 Dec 2013, 18:45 (Ref:3341666)

Well LMP2 is smaller than LMP1 and we know they've been using the LMP2 alongside so I just went with that assumption

Spyderman · 8 Dec 2013, 18:57 (Ref:3341667)

Right, but as everyone is so prissy about information shared here, I thought I would regress to a 12 year old mind set and make sure that what is being posted is word perfect.

Yes it does make a difference, original source is original source. Since no source was mentioned now it gave the impression as if it was some sort of inside knowledge.

Only to you. If you had asked for the source , I would have gladly posted it. Please relax. I'm a 54 year old Porsche fan, not a budding journalist or trying to be something I'm not.

In my opinion it is the poster's obligation to say it automatically. At least in good netiquette. Btw, nothing personal.

Spyderman · 8 Dec 2013, 19:19 (Ref:3341678)

Alright . I'll say 3 "Hail Mary's" and a "Glory Be"and hopefully I'll be absolved of my crime. I'll be sure to post all links in the future.

You really are pointlessly nitpicking.

I thought this was already over (expecting moderator interruption any moment): lets imagine Porsche burns downs again, and I'd just post "Porsche just burned down.", but in reality it could be a news story, tweet or just made up rumor.

broadrun96 · 8 Dec 2013, 21:56 (Ref:3341731)

Wow, are you a journalist or do you just think everything in a forum is supposed to be triple sourced news?? If i see something that says, Jani's birthday and testing the LMP1 in such a short snippet I'm smart and discerning enough to assume it was read from a twitter feed. Especially as the particular poster has in the past referenced twitter feeds of various Porsche associated people. But then I actually use my own common sense to sort news and don't need information spoon fed to me like a primary school student.
