Job adverts in Autosport for engineers ...

Well we know it will be a turbo.

A bit late in the game to start looking for staff, no?

I'm always struck glancing through the situations vacant columns in Autosport by just how much churn there is at the top level of motorsport, okay not so much at the chief engineer / c-suite level, but it strikes me that if you've a reasonable background there's a fair whack of jobs out there, and for Porsche to be fishing in this pond doesn't strike me as too surprising.

If nothing else it's a signal of intent that they're interested in hiring people of F1 calibre, which can only be good as sign of commitment.

Yes I was looking at those they are all engine or power train related, an area where I thought Porsche would be quite strong on.
I would have thought chassis and aero related areas would have been a weakness as other than the Spyder they have not built too many protypes in recent years.

It stopped at the end of 1971 when 5l prototypes were banned (917, 512M...).
