  • Press Release October 31, 2016 No
    Press Release October 31, 2016 No. M 220/16 FIA World Endurance Championship WEC, LMP1, Round 8, Shanghai (China), Preview Match point for Porsche in the fight for the manufacturers’ championship Stuttgart. On November 6 the FIA World Endurance Championship is having its eighth and, at the same time, penultimate round of the 2016 season. One year ago in Shang- hai Porsche celebrated an early win in the manufacturers’ world championship. Noth- ing less than the defence of this title is the target for this year’s six-hour race at the Chinese Formula One circuit. So far this season the Porsche Team has achieved five race wins with its two 919 Hybrids and leads the manufacturers’ world championship with 263 points ahead of Audi (204) and Toyota (174). With the current advantage being 59 points, the team could start partying if the gap was at least 44 points after six hours of racing. We very much regret the loss of Audi as a great competitor from the 2017 WEC season on. Porsche will compete in the entire 2017 WEC season as planned. So far Porsche has derived a huge benefit in terms of knowledge and innovations for production cars from the LMP1 programme – this applies in particular to the 24-hour race at Le Mans. To be too relaxed in this year`s fight for the championship would be wrong, warned Fritz Enzinger. The Vice President LMP1 points to last year’s experience: “At the final race in Bahrain in 2015, it was the drivers’ title that seemed fairly easy to get.

  • Matra P29 Prototype
    Matra P29 Prototype Two years after Matra stopped manufacturing the Matra engineers were not content to simply produce a Murena, they showed their first new car. Of course, it pretty face to catch the attention of showgoers; they was a prototype, and as such its parent company wanted to make something that did justice to their Renault ensured it stayed that way. But to be truly technical skills and imagination. Indeed, the P29 was honest, it was a car that only a well-established small built mainly to showcase the company’s technological volume manufacturer could have ever contemplated know-how as automotive consultants, and while doing building for sale, such was its composition and makeup; so, match and better any innovative studies that yes, perhaps if Matra had stayed ‘single’ the P29 may companies like Lotus or Porsche might produce. have become a limited edition M29. The car was first displayed at the Salon de Paris in None-the-less, it was an interesting possibility, or 1986. It was the 29th prototype from Matra, and hence design study, whichever way one views it. As always, its name, Matra P29. It is now a part of the collection of cars in the Matra Museum, and all but forgotten by automotive historians. Aimé Saugues The basis of the P29, or of any car, is its chassis. Its front and rear ailerons, or ‘wings’, too. However, where floor is a flat-bottomed sandwich constructed of the bodywork is more decorative in nature, such as the aluminium/aluminium-honeycomb bonded together front cover and rear engine hatch, the panels are made using heat cured epoxy resin adhesive.
