Singer to help ACO on sportscar rules

Porsche design legend Norbert Singer is set to work on the regulations for the world’s most famous sports-car endurance race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Singer, who as senior engineer at Porsche led the design of famous race cars such as the 935 and the 956/962, has joined the Automobile Club de l’Ouest–organizer of the 24 Hours–as a consultant. He will be involved in the execution and enforcement of the existing rulebook and the formulation of future regulations.

“It is great to have someone of Norbert’s experience on board at the ACO," said ACO sporting director Vincent Beaumesnil. “He has huge knowledge and a fantastic approach to performance analysis."
