24 Hours of Rolex Cheating Scandal: In a shocking turn of events, IMSA reports that Ferrari and BMW were caught cheating during the 24 Hours of Rolex. Both manufacturers were found to have manipulated their cars to produce more power, leading to a strong performance in the race. As a result, all affected cars will be stripped of their points. IMSA is now working closely with manufacturers to ensure a fair Balance of Performance (BOP) and holding teams accountable for any violations. What are your thoughts on this recurring issue?
Nissan's Influence on the Porsche 959: Did you know that the legendary Nissan R32, also known as the "Godzilla," owes its existence to Porsche's iconic 959? It's true! Nissan purchased a 959 from Porsche with the intention of dismantling it to study its technology, including its all-wheel-drive system and engine tech, for the development of the R32. Porsche tried to prevent Nissan from obtaining the car, but ultimately failed. This fascinating piece of automotive history raises some interesting questions. What are your thoughts on Nissan's bold move, and how it influenced the development of the R32?
Porsche's Venture into Cell Phones: Porsche has recently entered the world of cell phones with a folding device that supposedly pays homage to the design of a 911 hood. However, opinions on this collaboration with a Chinese cell phone maker are divided. Some see it as a clever marketing move, while others question the relevance of such a product for a brand like Porsche. What are your thoughts on Porsche's foray into the world of tech?
