The drivers of the Class 1 Le Mans prototypes in the FIA World Endurance Championship have a computer in their hands. They operate 24 buttons and switches on the front along with paddles on the back to control the most complex racing car built by Porsche to date. before they are lapped. When pushed once, it causes the headlights to flash three times. In daylight, the drivers keep their thumb on it almost permanently, as naturally the headlight signal is more difficult to see at that time. The red button at the top left of the steering wheel is also frequently used. Its function is to demand electrical power from the battery, often referred to as "boost". The drivers can boost to pass but must be clever about rationing the power. The amount of energy per lap is specified. The yardstick is one lap in Le Mans, where six megajoules are available. The amounts are converted accordingly for shorter circuits. The amount of energy a driver uses in the middle of a lap to get free of the traffic will not be available at the end in the straightaways. Although it is called a steering wheel, it is not round but a flat rectangle. The shape is due to the space required during driver changes. Tall drivers, such as Mark Webber or Brendon Hartley in particular, would otherwise have a difficult time getting in and out of the vehicle quickly. There is a large display in the center, which displays a multitude of information to the driver. This includes the speed, what gear is engaged, the currently selected motor management, and the charge status of the lithium ion battery, which states how much electrical energy is available to be called up to drive the front axle. The electric motor on the front axle supplements the turbo charged two liter, four cylinder combustion motor, which powers the rear wheels. The control button at the top left is used to select the displayed information, while the drivers use the control button in the right grip handle to dim down the display brightness at night. The identical control button in the left grip handle is for the volume of the pit radio, and the fourth rotary-type control at the top right varies the interval timing of the windshield wiper. A bit further inside on the right and left of the steering wheel are the plus and minus switches to adjust the front and rear traction control and to distribute the brake balance between the front and rear axle. The buttons and switches on the steering wheel were carefully positioned to accommodate the drivers and facilitate reliable operation at racing pace. The most frequently used buttons are positioned along the top outside edge, so they are easily reached with the thumb. The blue button at the top right, which is almost always in use, is the headlight flasher, used by the fast prototypes to warn the slower vehicles in the WEC field 2 Porsche of Farmington Hills December 2014 Porsche 911 RSRS Qualify Seventh and Eighth Despite the challenge of working through the emotions of an accident that sent team driver Richard Lietz (Austria) to the hospital earlier in the day, the No. 912 Porsche North America Porsche 911 RSR qualified eighth for tomorrow's Oak Tree Grand Prix at Virginia International Raceway (VIR).
