Porsche RSR 4.0 at Daytona 24 Hours
Catching the end of the 24 Hrs on Fox and live online, you can switch cars and get in-car views here:
IMSA | TUDOR United SportsCar Championship | #911 Porsche 911 RSR The new 911 RSR is based on the seventh generation of the iconic 911 sports car and follows in the footsteps of its successful predecessor, the 911 GT3 RSR. The new 911 RSR featured a win in its very first 24 Hours of Le Mans appearance in 2013. As with the production vehicle, the wheelbase grew by about four inches. A new development from Porsche Motorsport is the lightweight racing gearbox with the six forward gears selectable via paddles on the steering wheel. The 470 hp, 4.0-litre six-cylinder boxer engine was taken from the predecessor and optimized for 2014. Why does the transmission chirp on downshifts? I assume this is a variation of PDK. It sounds like blowoff on a turbo. EDIT: I think what I'm hearing must be the tranny rev-matching as they downshift to the next gear.
