PLR Trackside: FIA WEC RD 1 Silverstone 6 Hours 2015 Video and Gallery

Back in April we did the annual trip down to Silverstone for the FIA WEC 6Hours of Silverstone (A little slow on posting the Video and Gallery I know). The speed of the new/updated 2015 LMP1’s is seriously impressive, a major step up over last year. The Porsche 919 hybrid’s punch out of corners is a sight to behold, the way they are getting the power down is simply amazing. Then there is the cornering speeds all the LMP1’s are now carrying, Although Audi has the upper hand in that department. For LMP2 the new coupé cars are much better looking than the older open top cars (In my view anyway) I was amazed to see the new Strakka Dome 2 seconds of the Ligier’s but I have hope they will sort that out soon. In GTE Pro its was business as usual the Aston GTE sounds amazing like always, and the class is going to be tightly fought through out the season considering they are doing 2:01’s around Silverstone. It was also a welcome return of the Corvette GTE in AM they have been missed, but it does seem AMR has the edge at the moment in that class.

Hope you enjoy the video above and the gallery below, and the results from the race are below as well. (In LMP2 the HPD ARX 03B – HPD of Extreme speed was qualified so the Strakka Dome moved up to 3rd).
