1997 Porsche GT1 Rennversion !

The car’s motorsport debut was at the 1997 FIA GT Championship under the banner of the Rook Racing Team. Later that year, it qualified in 11th place at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Rook teammates Stéphane Ortelli, Allan McNish, and Karl Wendlinger, but failed to finish the actual race.

Greater success was found with Rohr Racing, as it was piloted to four wins and helped contribute to the team claiming the crown for the 1997 IMSA GTS-1 class.

El Porsche 911 GT1 es un automóvil de carreras diseñado por el fabricante alemán Porsche para competir en la clase GT1 de deportivos, que también requería una versión de calle para fines de homologación. La versión de calle, producida en edición limitada, se llamó 911 GT1 Straßenversion (versión de calle). Aquí tienes toda la información existente sobre el Porsche 911 GT1:

- El 911 GT1 se presentó en 1996, como respuesta al McLaren F1 y al Ferrari F40, que dominaban la categoría GT1. Sin embargo, el 911 GT1 tenía muy poco en común con el 911 de la época, solo compartiendo los faros delanteros y traseros con el deportivo de producción. Su chasis frontal se basaba en el 911 (993), mientras que su subchasis trasero se derivaba del 962C, al igual que su motor bóxer de 6 cilindros biturbo de 3.2 litros, refrigerado por agua, que generaba unos 600 CV de potencia. El motor se montaba en posición central-trasera longitudinal, en lugar de la posición trasera habitual de los 911. El 911 GT1 debutó en las BPR Global GT Series (el predecesor del campeonato FIA) en las 4 horas de Brands Hatch, donde Hans-Joachim Stuck y Thierry Boutsen ganaron cómodamente. También ganaron en Spa y Ralf Kelleners y Emmanuel Collard triunfaron para el equipo oficial en Zhuhai. El 911 GT1 alcanzó una velocidad máxima de exactamente 330 km/h en la recta de Mulsanne durante los entrenamientos de las 24 Horas de Le Mans de 1996¹².

- En 1997, Porsche presentó una versión evolucionada del 911 GT1, llamada Evo, que tenía un aspecto más aerodinámico y una carrocería más ligera. El motor también se mejoró ligeramente, alcanzando unos 630 CV. El Evo dominó el campeonato FIA GT, ganando seis de las once carreras y logrando el título de constructores y pilotos con Stuck y Boutsen. Sin embargo, en las 24 Horas de Le Mans, el Evo sufrió varios problemas mecánicos y accidentes, y solo uno de los tres coches inscritos logró terminar la carrera, en el segundo puesto detrás del McLaren F1 GTR²³.

- En 1998, Porsche desarrolló una nueva versión del 911 GT1, llamada simplemente '98, que tenía un diseño completamente nuevo y más parecido al 911 (996) que se lanzaría ese mismo año. El motor se modificó para cumplir con las nuevas normas de la FIA, que limitaban la cilindrada a 3 litros y la potencia a unos 550 CV. El '98 también tenía un sistema antibloqueo de frenos (ABS) y un control de tracción (TC). El '98 se enfrentó a una dura competencia por parte del Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR y el Toyota GT-One, pero logró ganar las 24 Horas de Le Mans con Laurent Aïello, Allan McNish y Stéphane Ortelli al volante. Fue la última victoria de Porsche en Le Mans hasta el año 2015²⁴.

- Para poder homologar el 911 GT1 como un GT1, Porsche tuvo que producir un mínimo de 25 unidades para uso en carretera. Estas unidades se denominaron 911 GT1 Straßenversion y se vendieron a un precio de unos 900.000 dólares cada una. El Straßenversion tenía un aspecto similar al Evo de 1997, pero con algunos cambios para adaptarse a las normas legales, como faros elevados, parachoques más grandes, retrovisores exteriores más grandes, intermitentes naranjas y un alerón trasero fijo. El motor se redujo a unos 537 CV para mejorar la fiabilidad y el consumo. El Straßenversion podía acelerar de 0 a 100 km/h en unos 3.7 segundos y alcanzar una velocidad máxima de unos 310 km/h² .

Grosjean joins Lamborghini for its 2024 WEC hypercar entry | WEC

Romain Grosjean will be one of Lamborghini’s drivers when the manufacturer enters the top class of prototype sportscar racing in 2024. The former Formula 1 racer who has spent the last two seasons in IndyCar has become a Lamborghini factory driver. He will be one of the development team next year for Lamborghini’s hypercar before it makes its race debut. He will spend 2023 combining those duties, and his IndyCar campaign with Andretti Autosport, with appearances in endurance racing for Iron Lynx in a Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2. The first outing will be January’s Daytona 24 Hours, where he will share the car with his fellow hypercar test drivers Andrea Caldarelli and Mirko Bortolotti. “First of all, it’s an honour to be joining Lamborghini, it’s such an iconic brand for everyone who loves cars, including myself and my kids,” said Grosjean. “On top of that, I am very excited about two things: the first is starting in Daytona with the GT3 which has been very successful in Daytona and a really good team like Iron Lynx and team-mates around me, so that is going to be a nice discovery for myself. “And then, later in the year developing the new LMDh which is a beautiful car – I’m lucky to have seen it – and an incredible project in endurance. It’s becoming a very exciting category with all the constructors coming. With Lamborghini being such a successful brand, I hope we can do well in the future.” This is not Grosjean’s first venture into sportscar racing. He won twice in the FIA GT1 World Championship in 2010 and also contested the Le Mans 24 Hours that year. The 36-year-old spend nine-and-a-half seasons in F1, starting a brief stint with Renault at the end of 2009. After losing his drive he landed in GT1, and also won the Auto GP title with DAMS. The team ran him in GP2 too, where he was champion in 2011 and earned his way back onto the F1 grid. Grosjean claimed 10 podiums from four seasons with Lotus, then spent a further five years with Haas. After a fiery crash at the 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix his F1 career came to an end, and he moved on to IndyCar where 30 starts across two years have yielded four podiums and a pole position. “Romain is a great addition to the team,” said Iron Lynx team principal Andrea Piccini, who raced against Grosjean in GT1. “Since we last shared the track in 2010, Romain has gone on to achieve brilliant things in both F1 and IndyCar, showing himself to be a driver of great calibre, who always rises to the occasion. He added: “I’m very happy that we will get the opportunity to work together, in the capacity as team principal and driver, and I know that he will bring a great deal of experience to Iron Lynx as we embark on our new chapter with Lamborghini.” World Endurance Championship Browse all World Endurance Championship articles via RaceFans - Independent Motorsport Coverage https://www.racefans.net/

the bad GT1 on the track

No, no, it’s not (unfortunately) about the return of an elite GT championship, with unbridled monsters, but about the “GT1 Sportsclub” series which occurs on some meetings of the GT World Challenge, the latter giving pride of place to GT4 and GT3.
