In qualifying for the six-hour race of the FIA World Endurance Championship WEC in Spa-Francorchamps, the Porsche GT Team has secured a solid starting position.
The second pole position at the third round for the new Porsche 911 RSR: Kévin Estre (France) and Michael Christensen (Denmark) beat the competition in the qualifying on Saturday on the 5.451-kilometre Shanghai International Circuit with a fabulous combined time of 1:59.579 minutes. At round three of the 2019/20 FIA World Endurance Championship in China, the identical 515 hp sister car driven by Gianmaria Bruni (Italy) and Richard Lietz (Austria) heads into the four-hour race from position six on Sunday.
Ten years after its launch, the Macan is on the cusp of a second model generation, now in all-electric form. As the first Porsche model built on the new Premium Platform Electric (PPE), the SUV is a completely new development. The test process to ensure the perfect coordination of all components and systems is accordingly meticulous. Porsche places great importance on real-world testing with camouflaged prototypes. At the same time, simulations in both the virtual world and wind tunnel are increasingly precise and play an ever-greater role. This is particularly true when it comes to making a new Porsche not only sportier, but also more efficient.
From the racetrack at the Formula One Australian Grand Prix to rugged Tasmania: motor racing champion and Porsche Brand Ambassador Mark Webber knows how to put a sportscar to the test. He drives the Taycan Cross Turismo and shares his passion for Porsche electric innovation on some of Australia's best driving roads.
Monster Jam driver Linsey Read – who has been at the wheel of monster trucks for a decade as part of the Monster Jam series in the US – invited experienced, and apparently fearless, Porsche racer Leh Keen to take her on at the 72,000-person-capacity NRG Stadium in Texas, in a vehicle of his choice. What transpired was a unique comparison test between seemingly polar opposite machines.
