ANF Posted 17April, 2016 Report Share Posted 17April, 2016 Ah, that would explain their non finish. What happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 17April, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 17April, 2016 Hartley was in the lead, and closing real quick on a GT3RSR just out of Becketts series of turns (nearly flat stick) and clipped his wheel on the exit. Turned the LMP1 on its side at huge speed, yet the dorsal fin helped stopped him from rolling over. A very quick crash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANF Posted 8May, 2016 Report Share Posted 8May, 2016 Not a good result for Webber, Porsche still lead the championship though. Webber had a similar start last year, so should hopefully make up some points next round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANF Posted 29June, 2016 Report Share Posted 29June, 2016 Some interesting stats and facts from Porsche for LeMans http://www.fiawec.com/en/news/the-le-mans-winning-no2-porsche-s-facts-and-figures_4193.html• The Porsche 919 Hybrid recuperated and used 2,22 kWh (8 MegaJoule) per lap. If it was a power plant, a family home could be supplied with electricity for three months.• For 327 of the 384 laps the number 2 car was able to go at full race pace. For 57 laps either the safety car was on track or at least one slow zone was in place – this means that only 80 km/h was allowed for safety reasons at certain parts of the 13.629 km long track.No going slow here to preserve tyres or the car.....• The highest top speed of a Porsche 919 Hybrid in the race was 333.9 km/h and was done by Brendon Hartley on lap 50.All the winners over the years in one pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Audi's definately had Porsche's measure today but Porsche hung in there and capitalised on some Audi mistakes. Great race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
