Porsche's returning to Le Mans this year with the still-camouflaged 919 hybrid prototype racer, and the brand is doing everything it can to prepare for battle with Audi. That means Porsche is scrutinizing its entire program, including pit stops. It's a bit cliché, but races really can be won and lost in the pits, so Porsche's been practicing its scheduled race stops, and helpfully created a gloriously slow-motion video to show us how it's done.
After a 16-year hiatus from Le Mans, Porsche's looking at its return to the famed endurance race as rekindling a long-lost love affair. We get where the automaker is coming from on this, but let's hope that in real life at the real Le Mans, Porsche's guys move a little quicker than this.
- First Drive: 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder
- Instrumented Test: 2014 Porsche 911 GT3
- Comparison Test: 2014 Porsche 911 Carrera S vs. Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51
