WRC Rallye D'espagne
MEDIA INFORMATION September 1 Round 4: 2013 6 Hours of Sao Paulo New MICHELIN endurance racing tyres: Medium compound for hot weather… mission accomplished! The 2013 6 Hours of Sao Paulo saw Audi Sport Team Joest claim a one-two finish. The job of the two Audi R18 e-tron quattros was facilitated by the early elimination of the TOYOTA TS030 Hybrid following a tangle 35 minutes into the race. However, that didn‟t prevent the German team‟s drivers from producing an exciting fight as they battled for WEC FIA World Endurance Championship points. Their clash lasted until Lap 142 when the N°2 Audi lost a wheel as it re- joined the track after a pit-stop. It was compelled to complete a whole lap with just three corners attached before the situation was corrected during an unscheduled stop. Despite all these incidents, MICHELIN Motorsport‟s technical staff were able to carry out a thorough analysis of the brand‟s latest LMP1 endurance racing tyres after they had used the summer break to develop new solutions adapted to the more abrasive tracks visited by the second half of the 2013 FIA World Endurance Championship. Audi Sport Team Joest and Toyota Motorsport GmbH were both able to use these new tyres during Friday‟s free practice session. They were won over by their performance and chose to use them for qualifying. “We were pleasantly surprised because we had very few opportunities to test the new medium- compound MICHELIN tyres before leaving for Brazil,” observed Audi Sport Team Joest driver Benoît TRELUYER before the start of the race.

Gianmaria Bruni on the 911 RSR
www.porscheroadandrace.com Gianmaria Bruni on the 911 RSR Published: 30th June 2017 By: Glen Smale Online version: https://www.porscheroadandrace.com/gianmaria-bruni-on-the-911-rsr/ The #912 Porsche RSR that Gianmaria Bruni will share with Laurens Vanthoor There was great excitement in Porsche circles around the world, when it was announced earlier this year that the Italian Ferrari driver, Gianmaria Bruni, had split from his AF Corse Ferrari team and was to join the Porsche GTE ranks. His contract precluded him from racing for an opposition team inside six months, and so he has been limited to testing the 911 RSR. Bruni will join Porsche in the USA in its challenge for honours in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. www.porscheroadandrace.com “I was very impressed with the team’s professionalism,” said Gianmaria Bruni. The Italian has waited a long time for this opportunity, but on 2 July in Watkins Glen in the American state of New York, he will contest his first race for Porsche with the 911 RSR in the IMSA SportsCar Championship. “It’s a big challenge for me to switch in the middle of the season to such a strongly supported series like the IMSA SportsCar Championship with a new car,” said the new Porsche works driver in an interview. After securing victories and titles for Ferrari over the past years, he now joins forces with his Belgian works driver teammate Laurens Vanthoor to tackle North America’s premier sports car championship for Porsche. “There are many things I’ll have to get used to, but I’m very grateful for this chance and I’ll do everything to achieve successes with Porsche as soon as possible.” Gianmaria, up until now you’ve only tested the new 911 RSR.

Double Victory for Porsche at Sebring
www.porscheroadandrace.com Double victory for Porsche at Sebring Published: 19th March 2019 By: Glen Smale Online version: https://www.porscheroadandrace.com/double-victory-for-porsche-at-sebring/ WEC 1000 Miles of Sebring, 15 March 2019: #92 Porsche 911 RSR driven by Michael Christensen and Kévin Estre leads the pack through the first corner of the race There was a double victory for Porsche at Sebring, as the #91 Porsche 911 RSR of Gianmaria Bruni/Richard Lietz won round six of the WEC in Florida on Friday. Not to be outdone, Nick Tandy/Patrick Pilet/Frédéric Makowiecki also grabbed a win in the #911 Porsche 911 RSR in round two of the IMSA Weathertech SportsCar Championship, the 12 Hour of Sebring. www.porscheroadandrace.com WEC Round 6, 1000 Miles of Sebring First up, in the 1000-mile race WEC race on Friday, which was capped at eight hours, ran without incident over long stretches for the Bruni/Lietz pairing. Sitting in second place around 25 minutes before the finish, the rain arrived necessitating an additional pit stop, but the Manthey-Racing factory crew did a perfect job ensuring that the #91 car left the pits first. WEC 1000 Miles of Sebring, 15 March 2019: #91 Porsche 911 RSR driven by Gianmaria Bruni and Richard Lietz However, for the pairing of Kévin Estre/Michael Christensen, their start from pole position was marred by a collision with a rival car. In the ensuing chase, the #92 car fell back down the field as a result of a stop-and-go penalty. The few overtaking manoeuvres possible on www.porscheroadandrace.com this infamously bumpy track hampered the car from catching the leading pack, and they finished in fifth place.

A One-Two in China, Plus the 2015 WEC Manufacturers' Title for Porsche and Michelin After a Race of Two Halves
MEDIA INFORMATION Shanghai, November 1, 2015 2015 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) 6 Hours of Shanghai A one-two in China, plus the 2015 WEC Manufacturers’ title for Porsche and Michelin after a race of two halves Saturday’s all-dry qualifying session in mild conditions saw Porsche and Ferrari top the LM P1 and LM GTE Pro orders respectively, but Sunday’s poorer weather reshuffled the pack somewhat, notably during the early part of the 2015 6 Hours of Shanghai. Sunday’s race was essentially divided into two distinct parts, with the first three hours effected by heavy rain which prompted Race Control to kick off the action behind the Safety Car for the first five laps. When the Safety Car peeled off after round 10 minutes, the real competition got underway as the cars threw up plumes of water, with their Michelin rain tyres capable of clearing up to 120 every second. In LM P1, the Audi R18 e-tron quattros immediately challenged the Porsche 919 Hybrids which were running first and second, and the early battle also involved the Toyota’s two TS040 Hybrids which tried to make life as hard as possible for the two German makes. It was during this phase of the race that the N°18 Porsche (Dumas/Jani/Lieb) span after a tangle with the N°7 Audi (Fässler/Lotterer/Tréluyer). At this stage, the two Audis focused on chasing the N°17 Porsche (Bernhard/Webber/Hartley) as closely as possible in order to prevent Brendon Hartley from pulling out too big a gap, but the Toyotas started to lose ground.

One-Two Finishes for Michelin at Fuji  Toyota Racing Dominates on Home Turf  AF Corse Ferrari on Top at Mount Fuji  LM GTE AM Glory for Aston Martin Racing
INFORMATION MEDIA Gotemba, October 12, 2014 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) 6 Hours of Fuji One-two finishes for Michelin at Fuji Toyota Racing dominates on home turf AF Corse Ferrari on top at Mount Fuji LM GTE AM glory for Aston Martin Racing After Saturday’s close qualifying shootout, which saw the N°8 Toyota TS 040 Hybrid (Davidson/Buemi) beat the N°20 Porsche 919 Hybrid (Bernhard/Webber) to pole position by just 0.043s, this year’s 6 Hours of Fuji got off to a thrilling start. As he approached the start line after completing his formation lap, Sébastien Buemi (Toyota) delayed his acceleration to try to catch his chasers by surprise. Even so, he was passed by the experienced Mark Webber (Porsche) who failed to fall for the Swiss driver’s trap. The two men then duelled for supremacy but were both overtaken in Sector 2 by André Lotterer who put the N°2 Audi R18 e-tron quattro in front. The German’s lead did not last long, however, since his car’s fuel consumption – capped by the regulations – forced him to lift and allow his opponents to recover the initiative, with Buemi emerging on top thanks to the power of his hybrid powertrain and to his ‘low temperature’ soft-compound MICHELIN tyres. Webber managed to stay on the Toyota’s tail until Lap 10 when accident debris from another car sliced one of his tyres, forcing him to make an unscheduled stop. The N°7 Toyota (Wurz/Sarrazin/Nakajima) took advantage of the Australian’s woes to ease into second place.
