A new video presents the Porsche Motorsport highlights from the 2019 season - with works driver Patrick Long (USA) as narrator.
The TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team has achieved another top-ten finish in Marrakesh. In the fifth race of the 2019/2020 ABB FIA Formula E Championship, Porsche works driver André Lotterer crossed the finish line in eighth place. He had started the race from third position.
A day after the Marrakesh E-Prix, the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team took part in the official rookie test for the ABB FIA Formula E Championship. Porsche works driver Frédéric Makowiecki (FR) and test and development driver Thomas Preining (AT) took to the track for the first time in the Porsche 99X Electric on Sunday. In the two three-hour sessions, they completed a total of 172 laps on the 2.971-kilometre track in Marrakesh (MA) and provided the team with valuable insights. In the race on Saturday, Porsche works driver André Lotterer (DE) finished in eighth place; Neel Jani (CH) crossed the finish line in 18th place.
For Porsche, 2019 was all about electric mobility. But there were also some highlights away from the Taycan. A look back.
The passenger compartment of the Taycan remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of theknees and femurs of the driver and passenger. Porsche showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants ofdifferent sizes and to those sitting in different positions. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of all critical body areas was good oradequate for both occupants, with the exception of the rear passenger's chest, for which dummy readings of compression indicated amarginal level of protection. In the side barrier impact, protection of all critical body areas was good and the car scored full points in thistests. In the more severe side pole test, protection of the chest was adequate and that of other body areas was good. Tests on the frontseats and head restraints demonstrated marginal protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometricassessment of the rear seats also indicated marginal whiplash protection. The standard-fit autonomous emergency braking (AEB) systemperformed well in tests of its functionality at the low speeds at which many whiplash injuries occur. However, the Taycan was not awardedthe points for these tests as good dynamic performance in the front seats is a prerequisite for AEB scoring.
