The Portuguese racetrack in Portimão hosts the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) for the first time this weekend and Porsche’s works team has been preparing with the two 911 RSR cars with the utmost consistency.

The crew knows the 4.684-kilometre circuit from test drives there with the previous model. Prior to travelling to the event, the setup of the two latest-generation ca. 515 PS racing vehicles was finalised at the development centre at Weissach. A cutting-edge simulator with its powerful electromechanical actuators from the company VI-Grade replicates even the tiniest details of the Autódromo International do Algarve. The driving behaviour of the virtual 911 RSR in the 180-degree panorama comes close to reality.
