Last year, Porsche served motorsport fans a big plate of disappointment with an added side of sadness by announcing it was pulling the plug on the FIA World Endurance Championship"s top-flight LMP1 class to focus its efforts on a Formula E entry for 2019. Wahh. But, to publicise its endurance racing efforts, for the last year the 919 Le Mans car has been on a farewell tour a global crusade to show the masses how awesome and technical the hybrid 919 really is. You may have seen the 919 Evo a lighter, more powerful 919 Hybrid unshackled from the WEC"s many rules and regulations that recently set a 1m 41.770s lap around Spa. That"s just one of the PR prongs. Porsche still has a couple of standard 919s which it"s also using to spread the love.
