While +Audi International has justifiably recieved plenty of credit for today's victory at Le Mans with the R18 etron some congratulations should also go to +Porsche and especially the +Williams F1 team

Williams and its Williams Hybrid Power subsidiary actually created the electro-mechanical flywheel system for F1 cars. In 2010 Williams licensed the system to porches where its efficacy was proved in the 911 gt3r hybrid over the past 2 years.

A job well done all around!
