I would love to see the 991 win on its first time out, that has to be Norbert Singer at scrutineering, I know he's officially retired, but I'd bet big $$$ that he is giving input to both the factory and Manthey

This blurb on Autosport caught my attention:

Porsche mounts a factory campaign with its latest-generation 911 in conjunction with the Manthey team, which also played a key role in developing its predecessors. The longer machine, now with double-wishbone suspension at the front, is more of a true racing car than what came before, but Porsche is suggesting that the car won't be the real deal until Le Mans. Bernhard and Dumas, who will focus on testing and developing Porsche's forthcoming LMP1 hybrid, join the line-ups for Le Mans and the races beforehand.

Interesting....and how is that legal as a GT car? Since its completely different to road going 911's McStrut....

I'm wondering if there should be a page dedicated to the Mk2 911 911 RSR, since that is actually a very different car to the 2013-2016 car (ie, a tech waiver from the ACO allowed Porsche to make it into basically a mid-engine car)?

If someone has some photos of this newer mid engines 911. I'll make a new thread for it
