Vettels Porsche test in Aragon
On Tuesday, Sebastian Vettel completed his first real test in the Porsche 963 LMDh car of the WEC in Aragon, completing 118 laps and seemed to make a good impression. Vettel, in any case, was in good spirits and said, "Driving the Porsche 963 here in Aragon on the track was definitely fun." He further explained, "I had to get used to everything and find my rhythm. The feeling of driving is different just because of the roof over my head, as well as dealing with the higher weight and the tires. The Porsche factory drivers were very helpful and explained to me what is special and what I need to get used to."
Jonathan Diuguid, the head of the Penske-Porsche racing program, also seemed very impressed with Vettel's test, but left open whether Vettel will be at the start in Le Mans. "Sebastian Vettel testing for us here is a unique opportunity for the team. As a four-time Formula 1 world champion, he has immense experience with hybrid systems and high-performance racing cars. His fresh and unique perspective on where we stand with our Porsche 963, and his feedback on our systems, are extremely valuable," said Diuguid. Regarding Vettel in Le Mans, he said, "He got out of the car with a smile on his face, which is a good sign."
I will definitely keep you updated on the topic of Vettel and Le Mans.

Total missed Porsche opportunity
Come on Porsche, why did you never get Andre to take photos of Mark Webber for bonus publicity? He'd smite Marks homophobia with some film and a smirk. Plus he can actually take photos unlike some.
