For the 1998 GT Racing Series season, Porsche developed an
  +
all-new state of the art car. Created after lessons learned from the previous
  +
season, where Porsche was regularly defeated by Mercedes-Benz and McLaren, the
  +
911 GT1-98 featured carbon-fiber bodywork closer to traditional
  +
sports-prototypes than the previous 2 models. As per regulations, a
  +
street-legal version of the 911 GT1-98 was also developed. During the 1998 FIA International
  +
GT season the 911 GT1-98 struggled to match the pace of the Mercedes-Benz. The
  +
main reason was the newly-imposed air-restrictor rules regarded as unfavorable
  +
to the Porsche turbo engine. At the 1998 24-Hours of Le Mans however, the 911
  +
GT1-98 excelled. The BMW V12 LM retired with wheel bearing trouble, and the Mercedes-Benz CLK-LM entries suffered
  +
engine oil pump break-down. The Toyota GT-One, which has posted the fastest lap times, also suffered
  +
gearbox reliability problems. The 911 GT1-98 took both first and second place
  +
overall, giving Porsche its record-breaking 16th overall win at Le Mans.

Description

For the 1998 GT Racing Series season, Porsche developed an all-new state of the art car. Created after lessons learned from the previous season, where Porsche was regularly defeated by Mercedes-Benz and McLaren, the 911 GT1-98 featured carbon-fiber bodywork closer to traditional sports-prototypes than the previous 2 models. As per regulations, a street-legal version of the 911 GT1-98 was also developed. During the 1998 FIA International GT season the 911 GT1-98 struggled to match the pace of the Mercedes-Benz. The main reason was the newly-imposed air-restrictor rules regarded as unfavorable to the Porsche turbo engine. At the 1998 24-Hours of Le Mans however, the 911 GT1-98 excelled. The BMW V12 LM retired with wheel bearing trouble, and the Mercedes-Benz CLK-LM entries suffered engine oil pump break-down. The Toyota GT-One, which has posted the fastest lap times, also suffered gearbox reliability problems. The 911 GT1-98 took both first and second place overall, giving Porsche its record-breaking 16th overall win at Le Mans.
