Why they (PORSCHE AG) don´t release a sketch of the 2014 car, like Toyota didwith the TS 030???

Because Toyota released their sketch 3 months before the car hit the track, and the LMP1 Porsche's track debut (in testing) is only scheduled much later this year (definitely in the second half of the year).

According to sportmotores.pt, there are rumors of Mark Webber (Red Bull driver) going to Porsche in 2014 for Le Mans!!!!!
Anyone know anything about it???? Link: http://www.sportmotores.com Sorry is only in portuguese :-), i can translate but he will take time :-) |

Nothing new in this story either. Someone asked Webber about it and he's denied it so they made a story out of it. Webber is on a one year deal (again) with the best team in F1. I'm sure he's quite happy to wait for at least the first half of this season before re-evaluating. Do people really think he's already made an agreement with Porsche? EDIT: Here's the original story in English if people want to see what he said: http://www.pitpass.com/48383-Exclusi...-Porsche-links |

Personally I STRONGLY suspect that 2014 will be fielded by the drivers they got in the GTE's this year.
2015, or a third car is whats up for anyone else. (I don't see a third car in 2014) |

Timo Bernhard/Romain Dumas/Nick Heidfeld
Neel Jani/Jean-Karl Vernay/Not sure (If we are lucky enough to get a third car for '14 - agree CTD, not sure we will) Not sure x3 Personally I don't think the likes of Lieb/Lietz/Bergmeister/Pilet will get race seats. If they conduct a lot of testing this year you'd imagine it will be Dumas/Bernhard who do the bulk of it. Hard for the GT boys to get seat time. |

Along with Bernhard and Dumas, Pat Long is the other Porsche driver with (Porsche) prototype experience. How much that weighs in the final judgement remains to be seen I suppose. Bergmeister is fairly tall by prototype standards, but it's dependent on the tub whether or not that is too tall to fit.
Will be fascinating to see how much Porsche pulls from within their own program vs. without. Always the possibility for drivers to swap brands unexpectedly (Wurz) within the P1 community. Also a need to keep factory GT pilots around with the 991 sure to be entering wider use in 2014. Interesting times ahead. |

First only sponsoring, and in the future a Red Bull Team with Renault (INFINITI). Uau!!!! that would be nice. When Red bull loses Vettel to Ferrari they might turn their attencion to Endurance and contest for overall win |

Regarding Porsches return next year do we think it will be a test year like Audi had in '99 or will they be gunning straight for a win more like the Peugeot in 2007? |
