Porsche to return to Le Mans 24 Hours with new LMP1 car in 2014

Porsche will return to the Le Mans 24 Hours with a full factory LMP1 prototype in 2014, the Stuttgart-based sportscar manufacturer has announced.
As the event's most successful manufacturer, the company has not been represented in a works capacity in the top class at Le Mans since 1998 when Porsche claimed the last of its 16 outright victories with Allan McNish, Stephane Ortelli and Laurent Aiello in the 911 GT1.
It has retained a strong presence in the GT class since then, however.
 
Should be fun, the old 1998 car was evolved from a TWR

This will be all Porsche, probably biofuel ethanol/petrol mix

In the lower series they had the RS Spyder which is related to the new 918 that they are now selling for road use (750k)
