The development work on the new Porsche LMDh prototype continues and the race car was recently put to its paces during a test session in Barcelona. The Circuit de Catalunya where the sixth round of this year’s Formula 1 competition will be held hosted high-speed evaluation procedures for the new hybrid track monster.
Following the initial tests at Porsche's in-house Weissach track (see the related links below), the LMDh prototype was recently brought to Spain where Porsche factory drivers Felipe Nasr and Dane Cameron spent a few days behind the wheel. The duo covered more than 1,200 miles (2,000 kilometers) and the feedback has been very positive. The main mission the engineers from Zuffenhausen had was to develop the tires and optimize the interaction between the V8 engine and the components of the hybrid system.
