Thaw Daggerslash should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I have to say, I'm very impressed with Porsche in many ways already.

In fact, I'm almost inclined to give them the title of favourite for next year.

That seems pretty ludicrous right now, particularly as it'll be their first year back, but the fact they've been testing the new car for quite a while, well before Audi and Toyota have, makes me think they'll be very competitive from the word go in the WEC next year. Unlike Toyota, expense doesn't seem to be (as much as) an issue.

Plus it is clear Porsche won't be at Le Mans to make up the numbers. Their whole promotion for this new project has been based on previous success, and surely, it'll be bad for them if they aren't in contention for the win in their first year.

Sure, it'll be difficult, but it is just an inkling I have. If I was Audi and Toyota, I'd be pretty worried.
