RIP Pescarolo Team

Just read that. 8(
I'll miss 'em, a lot, they're a huge part of Le Mans and I will never forget Pescarolo explaining the track on TV when I was a kid.

They looked like they were going to regroup a bit after 2012... not really the Le Mans they should have gone out on

I don't get why they are releasing teasers. It's not like they are going to be selling the car to the general public. No matter how cool that would be.

To keep us excited.

This will be epic. It's Toyota's time in WEC .

 

[Bram Turismo]

Why don't they just unveil the damn thing and get on with testing. Putting time into making teasers isn't going to make it any faster. And judging from last year, they have a lot to catch up on.

That was awesome.

 

[PsuPepperoni]

See me drive into the the sunset
On your color TV screen
Flying down the Mulsanne straight
If you know what I mean
Peugeot to the left of me
Audi to the right
I run all day, and run all night
Don't you start no fight.

'Cause I'm LMP
I'm prototype
LMP
And I'll flash my lights
LMP
458's in the road
LMP
Watch me explode!

Here's the article to that picture. http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/geneva-motor-show/porsche-919-hybrid-racer-gets-early-debut

This is the livery they will run on the GT and LMP Porsche.

 

[Brutaka]

Nice livery. I like it, but it honestly looks better on the 911.

Definitely, I am actually a little bit disappointed by the 919 livery.

 

[LancerEvo7]

It's not too bad imo. Let's be honest, anything less than Martini or Gulf would be a disappointment to most of us.

 

[Bo]

It's just white with grey lines. They could have at least been creative with it.

Maybe, yes. I liked this mock-up from some time ago: http://www.andwerndesign.com/porsche-wec-2014/

Boring livery. I know it should be predominantly white, but they could have done something a bit more creative and appealing than just spelling out your slogan over the top.

 

[Nish]

PIP is 919 mirrored they are so clever . In all seriousness I don't like the design of the body or the livery but will be excited to see what they can accomplish on the track.
