The objective? Win! Porsche has a great history in Le Mans, having won 16 times in the LMP1 category, including seven in a row from 1981 through 1987, but their last win was in 1998.
The first tests with the new car should happen in the first half of 2013, but the drivers are not known yet, but rumors point to Nick Heidfeld as one of the pilots. But this won't mean Audi will leave Le Mans, they had nothing to say about this decision, meaning the VW Group will have two brands competing in the LMP1 class.
