Porsche provides safety cars and support cars until 2020
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
A light bar on the roof was addedPorsche not only supplies the safety car for the FIA #wec, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans, until 2020, but also provides eleven intervention vehicles. Two #porsche #911turbo will travel as safety cars to all #wec rounds worldwide. Three #911turbo head to Le Mans as permanent vehicles. Furthermore, various #porsche models are provided for motor #racing medics and track safety personnel.
911 Turbo: Ideal prerequisites for the taskThe race director deploys the safety car whenever the field needs to bunch up in the event of dangerous situations. The #911turbo production vehicle possesses the ideal prerequisites for this task: The 3.8-litre six-cylinder engine catapults the Turbo to a top speed of 320 km/h, with the ex-works Sport Chrono Package ensuring the best possible intermediate acceleration.
The #911turbo generation’s close affiliation to motor #racing is also highlighted by the way the seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission is operated: In manual mode, the shift lever is actuated like in a race car. Paddle shifts mounted on the steering wheel are another standard feature. For its racetrack job as support to the World #endurance Championship, the vehicle is fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres on standard 20-inch rims. Full-shell #racing seats with six-point harnesses for the driver and front passenger, a monitor to display track signals, a radio to contact the race director, a signal light system on the roof as well as flashing LED lights at the front and rear have been added to the intervention car for its racetrack duties.
Only a few race-specific modifications were added“We’re delighted to have the chance to supply the safety cars and intervention vehicles for the Sports Car World #endurance Championship until 2020. As a sports car manufacturer, it was rather easy for us to find a suitable car. Basically, many of our production models fit the bill for this special task on the race circuit. Ultimately, however, we chose the #porsche 911 as the safety car. In total, 16 vehicles from different model lines will fulfil different functions in the #wec,” explains Alexander Stehlig, who is responsible for the safety car project on behalf of #porsche AG as the GT Motorsport programme manager.
