Will be very interesting. Do we know yet what livery the Porsche LMP1 will be racing in or have I missed this?

Was hoping to go wow!
Bit disappointed, rather drab IMHO.
Preferred the camo paint job they had on it while testing.

The new Ligier (Oak) revealed today, that has been rather overshadowed by Porsche.

Isnt it going to reflect a certain energy drink? I think Mr Webber is still on the pay roll?

No sign of energy drinks on Mr W's race suit...

From Hartley's facebook :
Anyone in the neigbourhood ?
Quote
The Porsche 919 Hybrid has arrived!!!
While you all drool over the pics, Myself and the other drivers will be driving this beauty in Sebring, Florida over the next 4 days.
It may seem strange to send the 919 hybrid and the team half way across the world to go testing, but with 28 degrees air temp and a track that tests the strength of a car like no other, it makes perfect sense.
Enjoy the pictures and I will try to keep everyone updated on testing

Agreed. The porsche also looks small. Prefer the Oak car.

Unless they are running closely 1-2 together at the end of the race. Would make perfect sense then :-)

The OAK / Ligier looks pretty ugly in naked CF.

That doesn't look like the same car?

You are correct, Steve. The obvious differences are the fin, upper air intake, front lights and nose configuration. Apart from this, the cars are only totally different.
Edit: The ugly one is the JS 55, whilst the new LMP2 car is the JS P2.
