WEC - Tyre testing in Abu Dhabi concluded
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Today the #porsche Team concluded its second test of the year in #abudhabi. In total the current World Championship winning team has spent eight days driving on the 5.554 kilometre long Formula One circuit in the United Arab Emirates. The main target was tyre testing with partner Michelin. Furthermore, new components on the #porsche 919 Hybrid for the 2016 season have been tested. The programme included aerodynamic comparisons as well as testing the latest developments on the powertrain, including the hybrid system.
After drivers #romaindumas (FR), #neeljani (CH) and #marclieb (DE) completed 2,059 kilometres in three days in #abudhabi earlier in February, the new drivers’ World Championship trio of Timo Bernhard (DE), Brendon Hartley (NZ) and #markwebber (AU) were on duty for five days and covered 4,142 km. Fritz Enzinger, Vice President LMP1, was at the track observing the test.
The team spent busy days testing the various Michelin tyres. In the 2016 #wec three different slick tyres will be used. Their names are soft cold, soft hot and soft hot plus, and cover a range in track temperatures from cool to very hot. In #abudhabi the team had to find out which of the two constructions on offer would suit the 919 best. Furthermore, for each of the three tyres three to four different compounds were available. The team also had to choose one for the upcoming season.
Team Principal Andreas Seidl said: “We are very pleased with this test. It is a demanding and important task to make the right choices out of the variety of tyres, as we will spend the season on them. Consistent conditions are essential to get reliable results. In #abudhabi we didn’t only have dry conditions, but also constant temperatures. We can’t find such conditions in Europe at this time of the year.”
Tyre testing is a special discipline. Seidl: “During such comparisons changes to the car are very limited because they would falsify the results. You have to strictly separate tyre testing from the car’s development. In the end, of course, both have to be brought together and work well as a package.” The #porsche Team’s next #endurance tests will be back in Europe.
