The 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans on Twitter for Porsche Fans

Just like last year, Porsche has amassed a full grid of ten GTE-classed 911 RSR in an attempt to take on the best comers from Ferrari, Ford, BMW, Corvette, and Aston Martin. Because this is a transition season, this weekend’s Le Mans is technically inside the same “super season” as last year’s Le Mans, and will decide a number of FIA WEC championships. Porsche have again recruited four cars in an attempt to defend its LM GTE Pro class victory in 2018, with four factory-entered mid-engine 911 RSRs. The GTE Am category features six cars from four different teams. Both categories feature heavily stacked lineups and incredibly talented drivers. Both categories are really anyone’s game, and you’ll have to watch to find out if Porsche can do it again. Porsche has won three times in the World Endurance Championship GTE Pro class from seven rounds this season, including Le Mans 2018. Astonishingly, the Dempsey-Proton #77 has blitzed the competition winning five of seven rounds, with Team Project 1 grabbing one.

For long endurance races like this one, Twitter can be an invaluable source of information. Not only can Twitter provide an up-to-the-minute view of what’s happening in the race, it can connect you with intimate details and insight from the drivers and teams themselves.  In fact, we know of no other way to stay as closely and accurately informed about what’s happening in the Porsche world before, during and after the race (even if you were at the event itself) than through the “Twittersphere”. You just need to know who to follow.
