The Porsche 919 Hybrid looks pretty impressive. Take a look here: http://www.porsche.com/usa/eventsand...19-hybrid/car/

IMHO, both Porsche and Toyota are still "working" on aero bits..and they probably were validating some "audi 2016" stuff to see if it works.
Even Audi are doing that... validating aero "things" |

It won´t be the first time that someone in sportscar racing presents a weird innovation just to make the other teams go mad, the 16 cylinder 917 for example.

The front end looks pretty much the same as in 2015. The rear end is less boxy. The car looks great in black. |

Thus far, I believe updated 2016 components are under the skin of the 2015 body. That is, what us public are privy to see. Very curious to see this year's iteration.

That's my thought too. Wish every car raced in bare carbon. Looks sweet!

Looks like there was a small off on Tuesday and a new tub was flown in. Car was ready for testing on Thursday.

Kinda obvious, but they have officially taken #1 #2 for their cars this season.

Not a great mileage for 3 days.....
Audi has been track testing with their new aero(at least with the initial basic iteration of it) since november, while Toyota and Porsche seems to have only used their 2015 cars' aero so far. This might put Porsche on a back foot with a more developed rival, afterall, it's only 7 weeks until the Prologue. At this point, I find it hard to picture Porsche showing up at Silverstone with a great HD car. |

Finally, it is important to remember that they had an off and the car had to be rebuilt, so I'm sure they spent quite a bit of time on setup. |
