How Will Changes To The Safety Regulations Affect Porsche During The 24 Hours of Le Mans
|
Motorsport racing of any kind is inherently dangerous, it's a dangerous sport. In fact, recent accidents and fatalities in the sport have
come almost as a shock to the general public as they've grown so used to seeing drivers walk away from one terrifying accident after another. Even though danger will always be present in auto racing, it's vital to reduce risk to a minimum and that's what the newest changes to the safety regulations for the 24 Hours of Le Mans try to do. Watch the video in this post to learn more about these changes and how it might affect the race.

Why Porsche Should Revive The Front Engine Sports Coupe And Build This 921
|
It seems our story about Anthony Collard's Porsche 921 design concept didn't go unnoticed. Shortly after publishing it, both AutoWeek
and SpeedHunters picked up on the story and before we knew it, we were seeing this car everywhere. Even more interesting than the story and concept has been the response to it. Lots of varied and enthusiastic
opinions. Read why we think Porsche should build this concept (or something like it) and then weigh in with your opinion in the comment section of the post. Don't forget to share this on Facebook, Twitter or other social network of your choice.
