Niko Posted 3August, 2017 Report Share Posted 3August, 2017 I think it would be great to see Porsche engines back into F1. Now lets but DR in the seat and away we go.... That dreaded FORMULA E mentioned in last couple of paragraphs, maybe used as a stop gap until they go to F1 http://www.luxury4play.com/luxury-cars/formula-1/porsche-considers-kicking-ferraris-ass-formula-1-20170714/?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=planet-9.com_sold&utm_source=planet-9.com20170801 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGB Posted 3August, 2017 Report Share Posted 3August, 2017 This was rumored a year or two ago with TAG backing them into Red Bull. Toro Rosso are talking to Honda as a back up to RB's Renault deal. So looks like RB are out? Don't know which team Porsche would go to? All the potentially available teams are 2nd, 3rd string...no money and no potential. Perhaps McLaren, again!And I'm very concerned about your reading habits... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KGB Posted 3August, 2017 Report Share Posted 3August, 2017 And likely 2-3 years of catch up to be competitive with their Stuttgart neighbours and the Pizza munchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvs11 Posted 3August, 2017 Report Share Posted 3August, 2017 http://flatsixes.com/porsche-motorsports/formula-e/porsche-leaving-wec-lmp1-join-formula-e/Damn.....Despite the recent successes in WEC this looks like Porsche aligning their racing/marketing budgets to showcase hybrid/electric technology which is becoming more prevalent in their road cars. Don't forget they are a car building business so it's not all about history and entertaining the fans. They need to make money to continue. Getting into FE is a bit of win on Sunday, sell on Monday.

Pauly Posted 3August, 2017 Report Share Posted 3August, 2017 I think Porsche going into Formula E is a great thing. It's where the future is. As they're also doing their Mission E car so it would seem like the right way to head. I dont see electric cars just being the future of cars, but hydrogen cars too. Eventually we'd probably see a race program developed around that one day i hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 3August, 2017 Report Share Posted 3August, 2017 Boring cars n coffee chats in the future then 'Yeah mate.

Shady Speedway Posted 8August, 2017 Report Share Posted 8August, 2017 I think there is a good chance. The bean counters that pull the strings know that there are very few trophies left in thd world of internal combustion racing. They want as many of those trophies as they can Makes sense, doesn't it?

Coastr Posted 16August, 2017 Report Share Posted 16August, 2017 Well at least street racers in the future wont make to much noise and up set old people ................you think it's the noise rather than a desire to be upset?Some people are just plain irritated by the existence of others enjoying themselves. They'd find something to complain about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airhead Posted 16August, 2017 Report Share Posted 16August, 2017 Going through some of my old magazines, and found this out of a MODERN MOTOR November 1962 edition.Had the pleasure of driving behind that car at PI a few years back when it was out here. I was catching it into turn 12 and went to pass it on the straight. Thought.. bugger that. This opportunity won't happen for me again so I backed off an followed it for a lap and just watched and listened.Very memorable experience.
