Porsche 911 Turbo Air Cooled Years 1975 – 1998 www.porscheroadandrace.com Motorsport Prospects 2020 Published: 18th March 2020 By: Glen Smale Online version: https://www.porscheroadandrace.com/motorsport-prospects-2020/ A busy grid before the start of the Le Mans 24H race on 15 June 2019 – many thousands of fans and hangers-on pack the grid After the music had died down, and the last of the revellers had left the party that had just a few hours earlier welcomed in a new decade, little thought was given to life much beyond the next day or perhaps the next week, at best. And yet here we are, barely two months into the new year, and it seems that the whole world is in lockdown over the outbreak of a microscopic virus that few, if any, had even heard of before. www.porscheroadandrace.com A quiet paddock before the action at the 2018 Goodwood 76th Members’ Meeting To call it by its full name, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and it was first detected in China back in December 2019. In just three months, this virus has brought most countries and economies to its knees, and put the fear up many people causing panic buying in the supermarkets which has in turn led to shortages of a number of key products. www.porscheroadandrace.com Goodwood 76th Members Meeting, 17 March 2018: The #64 Porsche 901 (1964) with driver Lee Maxted-Page makes its way to the pre-race paddock for the Ronnie Hoare Trophy Every day now, we wake to new developments on this front, new statistics, and more negative stories about how we are going to have to change the way we live. ‘Uncertainty’ is the new normal. Major public events, sporting events and more are daily becoming victims to the continuing spread of this virus. The worldwide motorsport industry has not escaped the ravages of this virus, and with this in mind, we ask what is going to happen to motorsport in 2020? www.porscheroadandrace.com Goodwood 76th Members Meeting, 17 March 2018: The #17 Porsche 904 Carrera GTS (1965) driven by David Clark leads a pair of 911s around Woodcote Those who were around in 1974/75 will remember when the oil producing countries, led by OPEC, decided to hold the world to ransom by quadrupling oil prices overnight. The short- term result was job losses, the stock market crashed, a jump in inflation, much higher prices for fuel. There were time restrictions on when you could buy fuel during the day and not at all on weekends, and you were prohibited from storing fuel at your home. Motorways in Germany were closed and reduced speed limits were imposed elsewhere around the world to reduce fuel consumption. www.porscheroadandrace.com FIA WEC Spa 6 Hours, Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, 4 May 2019: The #92 Porsche 911 RSR (LMGTE Pro) driven by Michael Christensen and Kevin Estre calls into the pits Leisure sports such as boating on the weekends and motorsport became easy targets for pressure groups, pointing to the ‘waste’ of fuel in the pursuit of such unnecessary sports. But what folk didn’t consider at the time was that motorsport contributed to the improvement of fuel consumption. Motor racing is by definition, the pursuit of getting from the start line to the finish line in the quickest time possible, while carrying the least amount of unnecessary weight (which includes fuel). The race is then won by the team who produced and prepared their car to run the distance in the most efficient manner possible, assuming that they stayed out of trouble and drove sensibly. It makes sense really… www.porscheroadandrace.com Le Mans 24 Hours, 13 June 2019: The #94 Porsche 911 RSR (LMGTE Pro) driven by Mathiew Jaminet, Sven Muller and Dennis Olsen climbs the hill towards the Dunlop Bridge Chris Aylett, CEO of the Motorsport Industry Association explained to the author many years ago, and his comment is as applicable today as it was back then. “At the heart of motorsport, since its early days, is the efficient use of a given amount of energy which, in most cases, is a fuel tank of gasoline. This focus on gaining maximum efficiency from that energy allocation is the absolute opposite of the general perception. As the weight penalty associated with carrying fuel/energy is so high, race engineers have become expert at delivering maximum power and efficiency from the engine using minimum fuel/weight.” www.porscheroadandrace.com Le Mans 24 Hours, 15 June 2019: The #77 Porsche 911 RSR Dempsey-Proton Racing (GTE Am) driven by Matt Campbell, Christian Ried and Julien Andlauer rounds Indianapolis corner While we are not facing the same fuel crisis today that we did back in the mid-1970s, the effect of the coronavirus is threatening the livelihood of motorsport, and the thousands of folks who rely on it for their income and enjoyment. When you see a racing car at the track, the number of people required to get it to that point is immense, many times the number of crew that you just see in the pit garage. You can add to the crew count, truck drivers, catering and hospitality staff, sponsors, medical staff, marketing, public relations, media and others. Then there is the plethora of support companies who have provided components and manufacturing services, hotels and transport, so the eventual number involved in just one race team is many multiples of those you see in the pit garage. www.porscheroadandrace.com Le Mans 24 Hours, 15 June 2019: The #93 Porsche 911 RSR (LMGTE Pro) driven by Patrick Pilet, Nick Tandy and Earl Bamber approaches the Dunlop Curves So, what are we saying through all of this? The COVID-19 coronavirus is a reality, it is here and it has already affected many events, teams, support staff and players mentioned above. But it will end, and that is the situation we now all have to plan for and work towards. Whether your passion is for current racing or for historic racing, the situation is much the same, and we all have to get through this difficult period. www.porscheroadandrace.com Le Mans 24 Hours, 15 June 2019: The #94 Porsche 911 RSR (LMGTE Pro) driven by Mathiew Jaminet, Sven Muller and Dennis Olsen takes the corner at Inadianapolis We will be monitoring the current state of affairs and we will keep our readers informed as best we can, bearing in mind that the situation is changing daily. It seems likely that many top events scheduled for the first half of the year are going to be postponed and organisers are going to try and fit them in later in the year. The trouble with that development is that the latter part of the year is already planned out and the calendar is full, so to now try and add those events that got pulled from the first half of the year to an already full calendar towards the end of the year – well, there is going to be some severe congestion. It is rather like three racing cars all trying to hit the same apex on the same corner at the same time – it is going to end unhappily! So, it is likely that some events will just become casualties this year, and it is a case of trying again next year. It’s not perfect, but that is just the way it is. www.porscheroadandrace.com Le Mans Classic, 6 July 2018: The #50 Porsche 906 Carrera 6 driven by Sabino Ventura (Grid 4) takes the sweep at Tertre Rouge To date, the following news can be confirmed: The International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) announced today that the 68th Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring scheduled for March 18-21 has been postponed due to the recent United States ban on travel from Europe, which will prevent a number of drivers, teams and key personnel from participation. The Twelve Hours of Sebring has now been postponed until 11-14 November 2020 www.porscheroadandrace.com Le Mans Classic, 6 July 2018: The #2 Porsche 917 (1969) driven by Peter Vogele (Grid 5) approaches Tertre Rouge Masters Historic Racing Tuesday 24 March, Brands Test Day: to go ahead as planned Portimao 17-19 April: it will not be possible to run this event on the planned date. We are currently working on a postponement date with the circuit and will advise you further as soon as we have more information Monza ELMS Support Race 8-10 May: we received news from ELMS on Friday that www.porscheroadandrace.com they were postponing this event to a later date – we have not been advised of the new date as yet Le Mans Classic, 6 July 2018: (From L-R) – #50 Osella PAG BMW, #61 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 3.0, #32 Porsche 935 and #73 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 3.0 all negotiate the Esses Postponement of the TOTAL 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps: the decision has been taken to postpone the 7th round of the FIA World Endurance Championship’s 2019-2020 season.
