    Press Information Meet the Heroes of Le Mans Mission 2014. Our Return. Porsche at Le Mans Meet the Heroes of Le Mans • Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans 1 Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans Porsche in the starting line-up for 63 years The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the most famous endurance race in the world. The post-war story of the 24 Heures du Mans begins in the year 1949. And already in 1951 – the pro - duction of the first sports cars in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen commenced in March the previous year – a small delegation from Porsche KG tackles the high-speed circuit 200 kilometres west of Paris in the Sarthe department. Class victory right at the outset for the 356 SL Aluminium Coupé marks the beginning of one of the most illustrious legends in motor racing: Porsche and Le Mans. Race cars from Porsche have contested Le Mans every year since 1951. The reward for this incredible stamina (Porsche is the only marque to have competed for 63 years without a break) is a raft of records, including 16 overall wins and 102 class victories to 2013. The sporting competition and success at the top echelon of racing in one of the world’s most famous arenas is as much a part of Porsche as the number combination 911. After a number of class wins in the early fifties with the 550, the first time on the podium in the overall classification came in 1958 with the 718 RSK clinching third place.

  • 1990 Jaguar Twr Xjr-11
    1990 JAGUAR TWR XJR-11 D E T A I L S Year: 1990 Conguration: RHD Engine: 3500 cc Price: SOLD D E S C R I P T I O N 1990 Jaguar XJR-11 Chassis 490 This important Jaguar is one of just three XJR-11 World Sportscar Prototype Championship cars and the most successful example. Despite dominating the 1988 World Championship and winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans, it was becoming clear that the normally aspirated V12-engined TWR Jaguars were gradually losing competitiveness, especially in view of the shorter sprint events that FISA were introducing. Cars powered by the latest turbocharged engines, which were lighter and more compact, were gaining the upper hand and in response TWR JaguarSport (a collaboration of Walkinshaw's TWR and Jaguar) started the development of a purpose-built V6 engine for the 1989 season. The design allowed for two variants; a 3-litre engine for the American IMSA series and a 3.5 litre Group C specication for the World Championship. To accommodate the more compact dimensions of the new V6, JaguarSport's Tony Southgate also designed an all- new chassis, which would be known as the XJR-10 for the IMSA series and the XJR11 for the Group C entries. The new engine was a thoroughly modern V6 with twin overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder. Of all-aluminium construction it weighed just 143 kg and was tted with two Garrett turbochargers, which boosted the power to around 750 bhp in the 3.5 Litre Group C specication engines.

  • In Touch the Official Magazine of Dunlop Motorsport [ ] Le Mans Race Edition
    IN TOUCH THE OFFICIAL MAGAZINE OF DUNLOP MOTORSPORT [ www.injection.tv ] LE MANS RACE EDITION Dunlop came away from the Le Mans 24 hours delighted with the performance of its dry and light wet tyres after a difficult race in which the changing condi- tions contributed to the overall result. “We were pretty competitive in all conditions other than full wet conditions,” says Dunlop’s chief tyre technician Matthew Simpson of the LMP2 tyres. “On the slick tyres and the light wet tyres, we had a performance advantage, but in full wet conditions we struggled to get temperature into our compounds. The Essex car had engine trouble so we were never going to do better than we did, but we have to look at the tyre perform- ance in wet conditions and make it better. “The Virgo Ferrari team were very strong and our development construction at the rear allowed us to double stint safely. There was no sign of difficulty in doing so, and there was zero deterioration from the first lap to the last in a double stint, according to the drivers. Le Mans podiums for Essex Perhaps we could have triple stinted, but we didn’t test that before the race and during the race was not the time to try. Porsche and Farnbacher Ferrari “The Creation team had four punctures and three of them were caused by debris. There was not enough left of the tyre to establish the cause of the fourth.” The 2008 edition of the Le Mans 24 hours produced was difficult to drive because sometimes the power was everything from a record breaking qualifying and race there, other times it wasn’t and we couldn’t know what to John Nielsen, Casper Elgaard and Sascha Maassen pace, a record crowd of 258,500 turning out in eager expect.

  • Silvio Moser E La Bellasi F1
    20 AUTOMOBILI D’EPOCA L’incredibile avventura di Silvio Moser e della sua Bellasi F1 Silvio Moser ha iscritto il suo nome nella leggenda dei motori: un pilota indipendente, che riuscì nell’incredibile exploit di costruire una propria Formula 1 e corrervi rivaleggiando contro i grandi team durante la stagione agonistica 1970. AUTOMOBILI D’EPOCA 2121 ® Nato a Zurigo nel 1941 e successiva- mente stabilitosi a Lugano, tentò l’inverosi- mile pur di raggiungere i massimi livelli ago- nistici. Dopo un periodo di gavetta nelle formule minori, approdò in F1 il 21 maggio del 1967, in occasione del Gran Premio di Siracusa (al volante di una Cooper T77). Nel 1968, grazie al magnate Charles Vögele, gli fu proposto di condurre una Brabham BT 20 V8 Repco, ma la squadra non riuscì ad in- serirsi tra le migliori. Decise quindi di creare una propria scuderia (era il 1969), la «Silvio Moser Racing Team SA», con lo scopo di partecipare al Campionato del mondo. Con l’aiuto finanziario d’Aldo Sonvico e Aldo Pes- sina, acquistò la sua prima vettura da corsa, una Brabham BT24, utilizzata in precedenza dal team di Frank Williams per Piers Cou- rage (poi riverniciata in rosso-arancio, con una banda bianca longitudinale). ® Debuttò nel Gran Premio di Monaco di quell’anno, qualificandosi al 15esimo rango. Al di là di un incoraggiante sesto posto negli Stati Uniti, la stagione fu estremamente difficile. Alla sua conclu- sione giunse pure la beffa relativa ai nuovi più possibile le caratteristiche della Bra- regolamenti, che imposero serbatoi a bham, altrimenti sarebbe stato oltremodo struttura deformante.
