Bahrain suits the Porsche better than most on the calendar, however the #8 Toyota has won everything else but LM. Once the green flag drops, the Toyota's will be gone.

Well, it should be an interesting race, that's for sure. The faces in the Toyota camp didn't exude much confidence with the 919 sitting P1-P3 for the start.

Myself, I'm not going to bet against German rocket science...that a 4-banger is right there in the hunt against a V-6 and V-8 regardless of the recovery system/hybrid in itself is pretty amazing.

There's a 919 at my local Porsche dealer's showroom. Might be a static model, I didn't get close yet.... From the outside it looks smaller than my 912 !!! It's TINY !!!!
