quite some good news IMO 
sorry, no details even for us availale now, but be sure i´ll keep you up to date and post everything asap here on JW....
anyone left who´s complaining about Porsche, saying they sold out....!?

I was just curious if there were any updates, or anything I missed about Porsche at Le Mans in 2006... |
…well, as you can imagine this is more or less top secret and PAG always want´s to keep their secrets, just think of the CGT presentation in Paris…
so, I can only tell you some details, there are some major plans for a quite big comeback in endurance racing, LeMans of course, then ALMS and european endurance racing leagues…
a “good” step towards all this has been the replacement of mr. Ampferer who´s been in charge for all this since ´95, his successor, mr. Hartmut Kristen is one of the most courageously motorsport „freaks“ i know, and those who know something about Hartmut´ll know that he´ll die for a motorsport comeback with Porsche…
as far as the “with what?” is concerned, there´re some options, but as an official i´m not allowed to talk about ANY details, just some hints…
so we already talked about the mid engine V8 car, some say there´ll be an LMP car, and the latest rumor after the 997 launch…time for a new 997 GT1…
…sorry guys i´d love to do some discussions with you on that topic cause motorsport is what i´m also interested the most…
i´m afraid we have to wait and see, another little info: PAG plans an official statement on all this by the end of ´04 … 8)
