I attended my 3rd consecutive Rennsport Reunion this weekend. They have all been fantastic events - every Porsche nut NEEDS to go. It is indescribably amazing.
During Saturday's 919 demonstration laps the car hit 149/150 mph at the Mother's bridge. A guy we talked to has been coming to Laguna Seca for many years, & he said that is by far the highest speed he's ever seen there. I think he said 137 or so was the highest previous speed he'd seen. I think they said he was hitting 155 before the Andretti hairpin.
It was very cool to see the 919 at speed, & up close in the Porsche factory display. Does anyone know who was driving it for Saturday's demo laps? They probably announced it but we couldn't hear. I saw Mark Webber there, but I know other LeMans drivers were there too. I'm just curious who we were watching.
Thanks.
