[WEC] Porsche Prototype Discussion

[deggis]

The uploader confirmed in the comments that it was filmed last October, as suspected by the grass color etc. I think he simply did not bother uploading it earlier.

If you look close you can see that the car has the colour palette square-thingy on the nose. You see it from the shots above at 1:10.

Dont know why, just noted it

The actual P1 car had the same things, on the nose and on the fin. Their purpose is still a mystery.

Prediction:

Porsche AG (Porsche 919 Hybrid): Dumas / Jani / Hartley

Porsche AG (Porsche 919 Hybrid): Bernhard / Lieb / Webber

It's just a speculation by endurance-info. Nothing official at all.

[Spyderman]

yes

[Simmi]

It makes sense though.

Splitting the experience of Timo and Romain across the cars - then having the tall guys together.

[Simmi]

I'm sincerely hoping this isn't a design cue for the new P1 livery

Why 912 on the door and hood? O_o

because porsche north america has 2 entries. One is #911 the second is #912. I agree, ugliest livery so far... lacking of fantasy too because grey-white-red was also the same colour pattern of the 2012-2013 audi e-tron quattro livery.

[PorscheFanNo1]

Ah, gotcha

[Maelochs]

Doesn't quite stand out like the Core car ... not ugly, just not inspiring. The GT3-R Hybrid had a popping livery, which would have served well here.

Of course, the cars are likely to be among the fastest GTLMs, so no one will have to look a them for long before they are gone down the track..

[Brake dust]

Hope it's not the livery for any of the works teams!

[wewantourdarbyback]

Is the shade they've used for the bonnet even a recognised colour?

It's the Whipped Blueberry Purple.

It's only for the Daytona?

That is the works team livery for Daytona.

I'm not a fan in the least.

I read somewhere it glows in the dark..

[Gingers4Justice]

Looks like Audi had spare paint and stickers from the previous R18, and the VAG board told them not waste them.

Terrible livery!

[Bandicoot17]

Looks like a "we ran out of time" job to me.

[Simmi]

Maybe it'll look better when it has wing mirrors? (It won't).

[Rodger Davies]

Ouch that's poor, the Core car looked so pretty...

Michael/Andrew Cotton column in Porsche Club Panorama magazine sounded like there are plenty of teething problems…We need an inside line, I am nervous but still can't wait to see it in action!

It looks like primer to me.
