Looking back at WEC Pit Lane Action 2017

November 24, 2017 by: Glen Smale | 1 Comment

The inaugural FIA WEC season kicked off in 2012 with the Silverstone race being the first on the calendar that year. Since then, we have had six years of world endurance sports car racing under the auspices of this organisation, and numerous teams have come and gone. While the current WEC set up has lost some of its early lustre, there have been some great moments that we can … [Read more...]

#2 TS040 Hybrid at the 6 Hours of Silverstone 2015

It seems only a few days ago I was packing up and leaving the Silverstone media centre after witnessing a superb opening race to the WEC 2015 season.

Porsche 911 RSR timing comparison

May 16, 2014 by: Virtual Motorpix | Leave a Comment

With two rounds of the 2014 WEC season behind us, this would be an interesting time to compare the performance of the current Porsche 911 RSR against its predecessor. As the rules of the WEC require, those cars in the GTE AM class run with the technology of the previous year’s GTE PRO car, so according to the regulations, a car running in the AM class will always be a year … [Read more...]

Silverstone 6 Hours

April 25, 2014 by: Virtual Motorpix | 1 Comment

The opening round of the FIA World Endurance Championship, the Silverstone 6 hours, over the Easter weekend was always going to be a humdinger of a race, and it didn’t disappoint. From Thursday, the first day of the weekend’s events, the atmosphere was charged with anticipation with Porsche’s re-entry into the top echelons of sports car racing. In fact with three top … [Read more...]
