Bring Back The Open Cockpit! Ride Onboard With Earl Bamber In The ’98 Porsche LMP1 Prototype

The first weekend of the Porsche Festival at Hampton Downs in New Zealand took place January 15th to 17th. With Porsche as the featured marque, there was lots of action including appearances from Porsche’s two Kiwi factory drivers, Brendon Hartley and Earl Bamber. While the show continues next weekend (the 22nd to the 24th), some great footage from the event has already surfaced on the web. The video below takes you on a ride with 2015 Le Mans 24hr winner Earl Bamber as he laps Hampton Downs Motorsport Park in a 1998 Porsche LMP1 Prototype.
