Default Porsche Sebring Test

There's some pictures from the Porsche test at Last Turn Club

Looks like the 45 has a new nose and rear bumper. It looks a bit longer in the nose. Looks like Darren Law's helmet in the #44. I don't recognize the Helmet in the #45...Doesn't look like Joerg's or Johannes'. Supposedly Troy Lee was going to do a new Helmet for Johannes so maybe that's it.

Butch is driving the Dyson car (#16). Doesn't look like there's any body work changes to the Spyder.

Looking at pictures on the FLM site, and those at Last Turn, the nose on both cars definately looks longer, the rear seems about the same, and rear body work looks a bit narrower.

The angle of this photo makes it look huge.

Evidently Patrick Pilet got a test drive during the session with the Flying Lizards. Wonder if anything will come of it for him? link

Well evidently we don't know yet as we truly do not know what the configuration of that car is as it was probably not an 08.(?)
Quote from a DSC article on why there will probably not be any '08' 997's at the WDWT.
Quote:
“Simple – they are still being built. The Lizards have one car – I don’t know if it will make the test, but the others won’t be delivered until February.”

Andy Schupack does admit that “Porsche did a lot of work on the GT3 RSR over the winter – we hope it makes a difference on the track.”
