Porsche are celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the 917's racing at Le Mans.

They are having a Special one off 40 minute Carrera Cup race on the Saturday morning, before the start of the 24 Hr.

I'm so excited it's untrue, although mega high speed of this track is just daunting !!!

Having to have the rev limiters raised to cope with the high speed sections..

Only 2 hours track time prior to the race to learn it !!!

If you didn't already watch it, check out "Truth in 24". Allan McNish's turn-by-turn commentary on the circuit is awesome.

 

Congrats on the opportunity! Sounds like an awesome time.
