Next weekend, the FIA World Endurance Championship will visit China. On the Shanghai International Circuit, the two Porsche 919 Hybrid cars will again be battling for victory in the top-flight LMP1 class. The Formula One circuit on the outskirts of the Chinese metropolis features wide run-off areas and fast straights. Therefore, high top speed will be crucial in the 6-hour race. Taking it easy on the Michelin tires will be another key to success on the rubber-eating track.
