Porsche go retro at Le Mans 2018

Post by gordon »

I don't know how many of you saw any of last weekend's 86th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, so in case you didn't know, they celebrated their 70th anniversary in a couple special ways. First off, they painted their two works GT cars in two famous Porsche liveries of the past, the blue and white "Rothmans" Porsche 956 and the "pink pig" Porsche 917/20 liveries. Here are the original cars:

And here are the 2018 GT cars which actually finished first and second in class:

But they went further than that. They also re-designed their pit garage to give a retro look, complete with brick walls, wooden tool kits and cupboards, retro flooring and the mechanics had retro-coloured overalls:
