Preview of the 24 hours of Le Mans, LMP1 (3rd race of the World Endurance Championship)
Porsche 919 Hybrid, Porsche Team: Romain Dumas, Neel Jani, Marc Lieb
Stuttgart. After an absence of 16 years, Porsche will once again compete in the top category of what is certainly the world's toughest car race, which starts at 3:00 pm on June 14, 2014. Porsche is fielding its most innovative prototypes at the 24 hours of Le Mans.
The two Porsche 919 Hybrid cars with start numbers 14 and 20 will be driven by two trios of drivers: Romain Dumas (France), Neel Jani (Switzerland), Marc Lieb (Germany) and Timo Bernhard (Germany), Brendon Hartley (New Zealand), Mark Webber (Australia).
2014 Le Mans cars
These six world-class drivers have between them a total of 37 appearances at Le Mans. Despite being a record holder at Le Mans with 16 overall victories, this year the sports car manufacturer has no experience to benefit from. For the first year of the LMP1 project the target is to get one of the fast Porsche 919 Hybrids to the finish line at the marathon.
Quotes before the race:
Fritz Enzinger, Vice President LMP1:
"Porsche is facing the biggest moment of the LMP1 project – its first start in the top category at Le Mans in 16 years. Whatever the results, we have successfully completed a lot of stages to get here. Above all, we have established a strong, innovative engineering team in the Porsche Development Centre in Weissach. The new know-how generated in-house by the great efforts of all those involved is something that no one can take away from Porsche. The pole position in Spa showed that the Porsche 919 Hybrid is fast, and, as newcomers, we earned respect for this achievement. I am very proud of this young team, which is as competent in its technology as it is in its drivers. I wish each individual the best of luck and success in this marathon."
Alexander Hitzinger, Technical Director LMP1:
"The challenge of developing a car for Le Mans was always to build a fast yet durable car. The constraints of the new race regulations have made this task even more difficult, but fascinating as well. Even in areas that were routine for the competition, we had no experience whatsoever. Nonetheless, we chose the boldest solution for our drive concept, because it offered the best future potential. In the pre-testing period, the aerodynamics that were once again modified to achieve lower air drag for the Le Mans event proved themselves, as did advanced developments that enhanced durability. The Porsche 919 Hybrid is our first LMP1 race car design. It is fast – but not all of its potential has been realised yet; that is the reality."
Alexander Hitzinger, Technical Director LMP1
Andreas Seidl, Team Principal LMP1:
"The operating task for a Le Mans team is enormous. We had to build an organisation with new personnel from the ground up. They are all excellent people. But even a hundred top soloists must first learn to play together as an orchestra. Responsibilities, communication, procedures, manual tasks – everything must mesh together perfectly. We have only competed in two races so far: in Silverstone and in Spa-Francorchamps. Everything went remarkably well. Our training was intensive. The team will have carried out 1,573 pit stops up to race week at Le Mans. We have also tested at night. Nonetheless, we have not yet experienced the stresses of a 24-hour race as a team. Everyone is looking forward to this challenge."
Andreas Seidl, Team Principal Porsche Team
Drivers, starting number 14:
Romain Dumas – 36, France.
(13 races: overall victory 2010, 3rd place overall 2007, class victory GTE 2013, 2nd place GT class 2001 and 2002, 3rd place GT class 2004)
Porsche works driver Romain Dumas
"Le Mans is the most famous and toughest race in the world, and it is even more special for me as a Frenchman. I have been driving here since 2001, and I also lived here. In 2010 I won the race; I would love to repeat that one day – together with Porsche. So many people have been anticipating this return to LMP1 by Porsche. It makes me very proud to be one of the six drivers here. I have wanted to be with Porsche ever since my father put me in a 962 as a child. My favourite part of the track is the Porsche bends. Not because of their name, but because they are so quick and difficult. When you race down the Hunaudières at 330 km/h at night – all by yourself in your own world – you live a dream. You see and smell what is happening around the track. But you have to remain focused. We want to get to the finish line."
Neel Jani – 30, Switzerland.
(5 races since 2009)
Porsche works driver Neel Jani
"Le Mans is living motorsport history. That is more true of Porsche than with any other brand. To be part of the return to the top class after 16 years is a dream come true for me. Most racing car drivers would agree. It is a great honour, but also a tremendous responsibility. My best result at Le Mans was in 2012 when I finished fourth with a privateer team. I knew I could only improve on that result in a good factory team. Now I have reached that point. But, regardless of which class or which car, this race stirs up an emotional feeling. I will never forget my first time racing at night; it was awesome. Yet, it is important to block out all of that and concentrate on doing your best – for yourself and your team-mates. We want to be competitive in our first year."
Marc Lieb – 33, Germany.
(8 races: class victory GTE 2013, class victory GT2 2010, class victory GT 2005, 2nd place GT class 2003)
Porsche works driver Marc Lieb
"Porsche took me on board in 2000 when my bank account was empty and the prospects for my Formula racing career had almost run out. It means a lot to me to now be part of a return to the top class, especially since we have this incredible technology that our engineers have created for the 919 Hybrid. Starting in the LMP1 class changes your perspective entirely compared to racing in the GT categories. You look less in the rear-view mirror and more at the cars out front that you are going to lap. Radio contact with the pit crew is also much more intensive to achieve efficient energy usage. The racing is incredibly tough for everyone involved. Whenever I won class victories, the most enjoyable thing for me was to look down from the podium and gaze at the tired but happy faces of the mechanics."
Timo Bernhard – 33, Germany.
(7 races: overall victory 2010, class victory GT 2002, 2nd place GTE class 2013, 2nd place GT2 2005)
Porsche works driver Timo Bernhard
"In my first start for Porsche in 2002, Le Mans was stunning. And people always asked me: When will you return to the top league. I was involved with the building of the LMP1 team right from the start, and in 2013 I drove at the roll-out, then did testing and development work. The entire time I had the big goal in mind; I can hardly express how much I am ready for it now. The week leading up to the race will still be intensive, right up to the starting ceremony. I always found it satisfying to be the starting driver, and to finally close the door after all the pre-race show was over. And then at some point on this long circuit you find a very special rhythm. Especially at night when everything gets even faster, and when it might drizzle or rain … It is indescribable; there is a certain magic to it."
Brendon Hartley – 24, New Zealand.
Porsche works driver Brendon Hartley
"For me, Le Mans is my whole passion. I have the feeling that racing here fulfils the entire reason I climbed into a kart for the first time at six years of age. To now start as a Porsche factory driver, for the greatest sports car icon is like a dream. And then there is this special project with technology that never existed before. Hybrid systems, all-wheel drive, intuitive operating systems – the Porsche 919 is fantastic. Sometimes I can hardly believe that I have been chosen to sit in this car. I especially like Le Mans at night; that is the best. The lights fly past you, and everything feels a lot faster. You nearly get tunnel vision – that is when the cockpit is the perfect place for me. I also have a sporting score to settle at Le Mans."
Mark Webber – 37, Australia.
(participated 1998 and 1999 at Le Mans but not in the race; 9 Formula-1 victories)
Porsche works driver Mark Webber
"To return to Le Mans is emotionally very special for me. Le Mans stands for endurance, trial of man and machine, an incredibly long day, often with changing conditions and, above all, there is the teamwork. Naturally, I want to leave here with happier memories than previously, which should not be too difficult. And, of course, I want to win this race sometime. We have a fast car with fantastic technology. I also like the seating position, tucked behind the windscreen, and I am looking forward to the night-time driving at Le Mans. The team is still very young, but the bonding in the team has been very quick. If we were to come up with a good result in our first year that would be a massive statement for Porsche as a brand."
Porsche 919 Hybrid, Porsche Team: Timo Bernhard, Brendon Hartley, Mark Webber
• With 16 overall victories, Porsche is the record holder at Le Mans.
• The first Porsche overall victory dates back to 1970 (Hans Herrmann/Richard Attwood in a 917 KH Coupé), and the last victory to date was on June 7, 1998 (Laurent Aiello/Allan McNish/Stéphane Ortelli in a Porsche GT1).
• According to the official archives, 812 Porsche cars have raced at Le Mans, and that too is a record.
• The fastest qualifying lap was driven by Hans-Joachim Stuck in 1985 in a Porsche 962 C (average speed 251.815 km/h). That record will likely stand for eternity, since chicanes installed in 1990 now break up the long Hunaudières straight.
• The longest race distance was covered by Timo Bernhard/Romain Dumas/Mike Rockenfeller in 2010 in their overall victory for Audi, a total of 5,410.713 km (397 laps, average speed 225.45 km/h).
• The Porsche 919 Hybrid car numbers 20 and 14 stand for the year of the return.
• In qualifying (Wednesday and Thursday until midnight), every driver must run at least five laps in the dark. While WEC rules call for averaging the two fastest laps of two drivers (i.e. the mean of four lap times), the classic Le Mans method is to simply take the fastest lap driven with the car.
• The Le Mans night is one of the shortest of the year: the sun sets on Saturday at 9:55 pm, and it rises again on Sunday at 5:53 am.
• In normal racing mode (without any safety car periods), the Porsche 919 Hybrid must refuel every 13 to 14 laps.
• Refuelling and wheel changing may only be made sequentially, not at the same time. Only two mechanics may work simultaneously when wheel changing. That takes a lot longer than in Formula One, for example.
• Drivers are normally only changed when new tyres are needed.
• Two fuel tank fills with one set of Michelin tyres are the absolute minimum; three should be standard, and sometimes it might even be possible to do four – an open issue and a tremendous challenge for the drivers.
• During the race, no driver may drive for more than four hours within a six-hour period. No driver may drive for more than 14 of the 24 hours.
• Due to the length of the circuit, there are three safety cars at Le Mans.
• The equipment taken to the track – in addition to the two race cars – includes a spare chassis, six engines, five front gearboxes, five rear gearboxes, six front wings and six rear wings, 80 rims, over 100 radios and headsets.
• The amount of electrical energy that a driver can use for what is known as boosting is limited. The Porsche 919 Hybrid may consume exactly 1.67 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity on each 13.629 km long lap.
• In 2013, the Le Mans victor completed 348 laps. Over this distance, the 919 Hybrid would generate and utilise 581.2 kilowatt hours (kWh) from its energy recovery systems – an amount of electrical power that would light a 60-Watt incandescent light bulb for a full 9,687 hours. Or expressed differently: this amount of energy would power the new Volkswagen e-Golf, which is currently the most energy-efficient electric car in the compact class, over 4,576 kilometres – enough to drive one-way across the USA from New York to Los Angeles.
• All in all, there is even more honour and glory to be won at Le Mans: twice as many points are awarded than in the other seven races for the World Endurance Championship (WEC) that are each six hours long.
• In the WEC standings, the Porsche team with 36 points is currently behind Toyota (84) and ahead of Audi (28) after two of eight races.
• The Porsche 919 Hybrid was designed and built at the Development Centre of Porsche AG in Weissach. 230 team members work there.
• The core team of Porsche for LMP1 racing at the race circuit in Le Mans consists of 86 team members (engineers, mechanics, team management). Add to that personnel from communication and marketing, sponsoring and driver support.
• For Le Mans week, supplies include well over 1,000 team shirts and other clothing.
• The shopping list for food and refreshments for the team and the media hospitality area include: 50 boxes of salad, 50 kg of strawberries, 300 melons, 1.2 metric tonnes of meat, 500 kg of fish, 600 kg of noodles, 2,000 eggs and 1,100 loaves of bread.
• While most of the team members catch some sleep during the night of the race whenever they have time and space, the drivers have beds in containers located behind the pit. It is impossible to get a quiet rest, sleep from exhaustion is more likely.
• The organiser, the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), expects over 250,000 spectators at the race.
Schedule of the Porsche LMP1 team:
The technical inspection of the 56 racing cars, which are subdivided into four classes, is done on the Sunday before the race, June 8, at the Place de la République. A public event in the middle of the city. The scrutineers examine the cars, and the 168 drivers must present their paperwork.

First qualifying in Le Mans for Porsche 911 RSR, Sports Car WEC round 3, Le Mans 24 Hours/France
Porsche AG Team Manthey
Stuttgart. Porsche AG Team Manthey used the first qualifying for the Le Mans 24 Hours on Wednesday primarily to work on the set-up of the new Porsche 911 RSR for its first outing at the world's most famous long distance race.
The 911 RSR with the starting number 92, shared by Porsche works drivers Romain Dumas (France), Marc Lieb (Germany) and Richard Lietz (Austria), performed impressively in free practice by setting the best time in the GTE-Pro class, and went on to post the fifth quickest time during the first qualifying held in the night.
At the wheel of the second 911 RSR with the starting number 91, their works driver colleagues Joerg Bergmeister (Germany), Timo Bernhard (Germany) and Patrick Pilet (France) were clocked as seventh fastest.
The best Porsche in the GTE-Am class was the 911 GT3 RSR run by Proton Competition on second place. Christian Ried (Germany) and his Italian teammates Gianluca Roda and Paolo Ruberti share the cockpit.
The IMSA Performance Matmut 911 with Porsche works driver Wolf Henzler (Germany) clinched the third quickest time.

Quotes after the first qualifying
Joerg Bergmeister (# 91):
"My main priority was to turn my mandatory laps. I was driving on used tyres and everything went really smoothly. As a driver you're never really satisfied but I think that as far as the race is concerned we are on the right track."
Patrick Pilet (# 91):
Patrick Pilet and Timo Bernhard
"The balance of the car was okay. On the fastest lap I encountered a lot of traffic which cost me some time. For tomorrow we have to keep working on the balance."
Timo Bernhard (# 91):
"Today wasn't really a labour-intensive day. In free practice I turned three laps before the session was red-flagged. When I wanted to climb in the car for my last qualifying stint the red flag came out again and after that it was no longer possible to do anything. Now I hope that I get to drive a bit longer tomorrow."
Marc Lieb (# 92):
Marc Lieb, Joerg Bergmeister, Porsche AG Team Manthey
"The qualifying was quite good. I went out on used tyres and that worked well. I'm happy with the car's balance. Of course we have to tweak the set-up but I think that we'll manage that before the race. Compared to Spa and Silverstone we've made great strides."
Richard Lietz (# 92):
(l.-r.): Richard Lietz, Romain Dumas, Marc Lieb
"My first lap was really good, but I spun in the second. Luckily nothing happened and I then had no problems on the second set of tyres."
Romain Dumas (# 92):
Romain Dumas
"Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to drive during qualifying. I drove a couple of laps in free practice during the afternoon. It was great fun to be out on this track in a GT car."
Marc Lieb, Romain Dumas, Porsche AG Team Manthey
Wolf Henzler (#67):
"Today was my first time with the car on new tyres. The balance is still not quite perfect. I hope that we can attack it again tomorrow."
Jean-Karl Vernay (#76):
"We have made progress in all areas since the last race in Spa. On the straights we are still a little slower but we are closing in on our competitors. I'm getting to know the circuit better with every lap I drive."
Patrick Long (#77):
"I initially went out on used tyres to get a feel for the car. When I then tried to go for a good qualifying time with soft tyres the yellow flag came out at the first corner. Afterwards I only had time to turn the required mandatory laps for the night qualifying."
Patrick Dempsey (#77):
Patrick Dempsey, Dempsey Dell Piero-Proton
"I'm very pleased to compete in Le Mans with Porsche. This is really a fantastic experience. Of course there are still some things that need improving but it's been quite a long time since I've driven laps at night on this difficult track. The Porsche is great fun to drive. I've learned a lot and I'm feeling confident that we'll improve even more until the race."
Paolo Ruberti (#88):
(l.-r.): Gianluca Roda, Christian Ried, Paolo Ruberti
"I was almost a second quicker than in free practice. In the first chicane I was a little too quick and I lost the rear. Luckily I didn't hit anything."

Porsche 911 RSR – Consequent lightweight design for 50th anniversary
Stuttgart. Porsche has developed a new GT race car for the World Endurance Championship (WEC) and the Le Mans 24 Hours. The new 911 RSR is characterised by consequent lightweight design and sophisticated aerodynamics. The exceptional vehicle styling honours a very special anniversary:
From a bird's eye perspective, the numbers 50 and 911 are visible. These stand for 50 years of the Porsche 911. The Porsche AG Team Manthey works squad exclusively fields two Porsche 911 RSR in the 2013 season.
The new 911 RSR, which is based on the seventh generation of the iconic 911 sports car, follows in the footsteps of its successful predecessor, the 911 GT3 RSR. As with the production vehicle, the wheelbase grew by about ten centimetres. A new wishbone front suspension replaces the previously used McPherson struts. Another new development from Porsche Motorsport is the particularly lightweight racing gearbox. The six gears are selected via paddles on the steering wheel. The 460 hp, 4.0-litre six-cylinder boxer engine was taken from the predecessor and optimised in detail.
One of the priorities in the development of the new 911 RSR was the more evenly balanced weight distribution. The centre of gravity is also significantly lower than that of its predecessor. Carbon fibre played a crucial role in the new design. The front and rear mudguards, front and rear lids, doors, underbody, wheel arches, rear wing, dashboard and centre console are constructed from the very light and strong material. Moreover, all windows are made of particularly thin and light polycarbonate. Also contributing to the weight reduction is the lithium-ion battery known from the GT road-legal models.
The look of the new 911 RSR is dominated by the flared mudguards and the deep cooling air intakes at the front. With the new air ducting, the radiator is now centrally-located in the front and even more effective than in the previous model. At the same time, the cockpit air conditioning became more efficient. The quick-change concept of the body parts was specially adapted for endurance racing, allowing for easier maintenance and shorter repair times. The front end, front lid and rear panel are fitted with quick release systems and can be replaced within seconds.
Competing in the Porsche 911 RSR with starting number 92 are Porsche works drivers Marc Lieb (Germany) and Richard Lietz (Austria), who already shared a cockpit in the 2012 WEC. At the first two races of the season in Silverstone (14.4) and Spa (4.5) as well as at the 24 Hours of Le Mans (22.6), they receive support from their works driver colleague Romain Dumas (France).

Factory pilots also drive the #91 sister car, with Joerg Bergmeister (Germany) and Patrick Pilet (FR) making up a team. In Silverstone, Spa and Le Mans, the duo is joined by Timo Bernhard (Germany).

Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid – efficiency yields success-ALMS Monterey, USA
American Le Mans Series, round 8 in Laguna Seca, USA
Stuttgart. It beat them all – on the track and at the gas pump. At its first outing on the West Coast of the USA, the Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid beat all other GT vehicles in Laguna Seca.
With Porsche works drivers Romain Dumas (France) and Richard Lietz (Austria) at the wheel, it turned the fastest race lap on the challenging course in Monterey/California and conquered the six hour distance with just three pit stops, while its fastest opponents in the GT class had to stop five times: An impressive demonstration of Porsche Intelligent Performance.
Porsche's strong performance at the riveting eighth round of the American Le Mans Series was rounded off by Joerg Bergmeister (Germany) and Patrick Long (USA):
With the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, the title defenders won the GT class in a photo finish final and secured their first win of the season featuring the world's fastest sports cars. For Porsche, this marked victory number three after Mid-Ohio and Baltimore.
Interest from the fans for the Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid was enormous in California, as well. And the way the innovative sports car from Weissach – which started from the rear of the grid and was not eligible for points – chased through the field in just a few laps to snatch the lead caused a sensation in the grandstands.
The Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid convinced with its consistently fast lap times and low fuel consumption and finished ahead of all other GT vehicles thanks to its ground-breaking drive concept.
"The start phase was huge fun, because it was relatively easy to overtake the slower competitors," said Romain Dumas. "But it's even more fun because we can apply superior tactics thanks to the lower fuel consumption. We are much more flexible and we made the most of this today."
Richard Lietz stated: "We had the least pit stops of all the teams and showed clearly what the Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid can do. We didn't experience one technical problem and left all the other GT vehicles behind us. Our expectations have been far exceeded."
Thrills and spills also characterized the fight for victory in the fiercely-contested GT class as always.
Spectacular tussles for positions on the track and in the pits as well as frequent changes at the lead were played out over the entire race – and in the last two hours, long after darkness had fallen on the Laguna Seca Raceway, events began to heat up: In the penultimate lap, Joerg Bergmeister squeezed past a BMW into second place with his Porsche 911 GT3 RSR fielded by Flying Lizard Motorsports.
But the most successful GT pilot in the American Le Mans Series wasn't yet finished.
He wanted victory – and in the final lap he pushed fast the leading Ferrari.
"That was our first win this season. We did it at last and it was high time for that," said Joerg Bergmeister. "We didn't have the fastest car in the field today, but we fought to the flag. That paid off. To go from third to first in the last laps – you don't experience this every day in such a strongly-supported series."
Patrick Long added: "Joerg won the race today. Our tactic was to keep out of any squabbles as much as possible and to have the car in one piece at the end to fight for victory. This worked, but the driving style of several competitors was clearly too tough today. It almost cost us the race."
In the second Porsche 911 GT3 RSR fielded by Flying Lizard Motorsports, Porsche factory pilot Marco Holzer (Germany) joined forces with American Seth Neiman to bring home ninth place.
"The track was new for me and has to be one of the most beautiful in the USA. The race was a fantastic experience," he said. "I'm pleased that we finished well. It was great fun."
Sascha Maassen (Germany) and Bryce Miller (USA) saw the flag in tenth with Paul Miller Racing's Porsche 911 GT3 RSR.
After wins from Mid-Ohio and Baltimore, luck evaded Wolf Henzler in Laguna Seca.
The Porsche works driver from Germany had taken over the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR from his teammate Bryan Sellers (USA) and was lying within striking distance of the top when a rival hit his rear shortly before the halfway point of the race.
The impact damaged the water pump and put a stop to Falken Tire's recent run of successes.
"Such a retirement is of course hugely disappointing, especially after our wins of the last weeks," Wolf Henzler said. "Now we have to roll up our sleeves and try to turn the best season for our team so far into a happy ending at Road Atlanta."
The ninth and final round of the American Le Mans Series takes place on 1 October on the Road Atlanta race track at Braselton, in the US State of Georgia.
At the same time as the penultimate race of the American Le Mans Series, Porsche teams were also fighting for championship honours in the equally as popular Grand-Am Series which held its final race on the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington/Ohio. With the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup run by the successful customer team Brumos Racing, which is based on the lightweight 911 GT3 RS sports car, Americans Leh Keen and Andrew Davis secured the title with fourth place. The highlight of the exciting season was the Daytona 24 hour race in Florida, where Porsche kicked off the season with a double victory for the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup.

This is the American Le Mans Series
The American Le Mans Series (ALMS) was created in 1999 for sports prototypes and GT vehicles. The regulations correspond to those of the Le Mans 24 hour race.
GT class: This most popular class amongst car manufacturers is traditionally extremely well supported: Slightly modified standard sports cars with 440 to 500 hp and a minimum weight of 1,125 – 1,325 kilograms (e.g. Porsche 911 GT3 RSR).
GTC class: This class is reserved for vehicles from one-make race series (e.g. Porsche 911 GT3 Cup).
LMP1 class: Sports prototypes with up to 550 hp and a minimum weight of 900 kilograms.
LMP2 class: Sports prototypes with ca. 440 hp and an 825 kg minimum weight.
LMPC class: Prototype brand trophy series for the ORECA FLM 09.
All race cars start together but are classified separately according to their respective classes. This ensures exciting and diverse racing with many overtaking manoeuvres. Points are only awarded for placings in each class.

Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid at Laguna Seca Raceway in California on 17th September 2011
Porsche Intelligent Performance
Stuttgart. The race outing of the Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid Version 2.0 was trend-setting. The innovative race car achieved the same quick lap times as its top rivals yet used considerably less fuel. Just two broken transmission flanges and a collision thwarted a possible podium spot.
The next test under race conditions for the further development of the particularly efficient drive technology of the 911 GT3 R Hybrid 2.0 is planned for the American Le Mans Series race on the Laguna Seca Raceway in California on 17 September.
The vehicle is not eligible for championship points, as the hybrid technology is not yet a part of the GT regulations.

Dumas has already driven the world's most innovative GT vehicle last year at the "Petit Le Mans", the ALMS race on the Road Atlanta circuit.
Lietz piloted the Hybrid-911 at the 24 hour races on the Nuerburgring in 2010 and 2011 as well as at various long distance races on the Nuerburgring.
"I'm so looking forward to showing this very special car at race speed to the spectators in California. Many Porsche fans live on the west coast of America, and some of them have already discovered the advantages of the hybrid system at the wheel of a Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid," says Romain Dumas.
"I'm very curious, because Laguna Seca is one of the most exciting race tracks on earth. I only know it from computer games and onboard videos. Its layout with a series of up and downhill passages should actually suit our 911 GT3 R Hybrid."
The Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid 2.0, with two 75 kilowatt electric motors on the front axle supplementing the 465 hp four-litre, six-cylinder power unit at the rear, particularly embodies the philosophy of "Porsche Intelligent Performance": The electric energy is generated during braking and stored in an electric flywheel in the 911 GT3 R Hybrid 2.0, which has undergone further development since 2010.
During acceleration, this energy is automatically delivered to the front wheels, supporting the combustion engine. This leads to a reduction in fuel consumption and increases the cruising range on the circuit.
Moreover, drivers can manually utilise the stored energy with a boost-paddle on the steering wheel for overtaking.
Compared to its predecessor, the weight of the 911 GT3 R Hybrid was reduced from 1,350 to 1,300 kilograms.

PORSCHE MOTORSPORTS: Nürburgring 24 hour race – Smooth first qualifying for Porsche teams
Stuttgart. The Porsche teams are in a good position for Friday's final qualifying for the 24 hour race.
Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, Manthey Racing: Marc Lieb, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas, Lucas Luhr
With the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR fielded by Manthey Racing, Porsche works drivers Marc Lieb (Germany), Timo Bernhard (Germany) and Romain Dumas (France) together with Lucas Luhr (Switzerland) posted sixth place. The quartet won the 24 hour race four times straight from 2006 to 2009.
The seventh quickest time was claimed by Porsche works driver Wolf Henzler (Germany), Peter Dumbreck (Great Britain), Martin Ragginger (Austria) and Sebastian Asch (Germany) in the 911 GT3 R of Falken Motorsport.

Fielded by Porsche Team Manthey, the further-developed Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid (Version 2.0) with its innovative hybrid drive was not able to match the pace of the fastest vehicles after its performance was capped recently by the organizers.

Moreover, Joerg Bergmeister (Germany) had to contend with heavy traffic during his fastest lap and only managed 18th. He shares the cockpit of the 911 GT3 R Hybrid with his factory pilot colleagues Richard Lietz (Austria), Marco Holzer (Germany) and Patrick Long (USA).
The second and final qualifying takes place on Friday from 16.55 to 18.55 hours.
The 24 hour race gets underway on Saturday at 16.00 hours. Television station Sport1 intermittently broadcasts more than 13 hours of the race live on Saturday (from 15.45 hours) and Sunday (from 07.00 hrs). A one-hour highlight program of the race is televised on Sunday at 22.30 hours.
Quotes from the drivers
Marc Lieb (No. 18, Manthey Racing):
"We changed the set-up of our car during the qualifying and turned the fastest lap 40 minutes before the end. Now we're happy with everything. If it stays dry for tomorrow's final qualifying session we'll attack again."
Joerg Bergmeister (No. 9, Porsche Team Manthey):
"We didn't really expect to actually do well. We could have been a bit faster but the heavy traffic prevented a better time."
Wolf Henzler (No. 44, Falken Motorsports):
Wolf Henzler
"We're satisfied with our set-up. The track conditions were very good with loads of grip. Martin Ragginger went out first and set our best time. Still, we're more than eight seconds shy of the quickest vehicle."
Richard Lietz (No. 9, Porsche Team Manthey):
Richard Lietz
"The lengthy qualifying today was a good chance to familiarize myself with the car and to get a good feeling for driving at the limit. The character of our rolling race lab is somewhat different to the 911 GT3 RSR that I drove in Le Mans two weeks ago."
(Marco Holzer No. 9, Porsche Team Manthey):
Marco Holzer
"I got four yellow flags while I was out on the track. It's not easy to get a free lap. We worked some more on our race set-up and tried to bring the tyres up to the optimal temperature. Driving on the Nordschleife at night is exhausting, you first have to get back the feeling for it."
Patrick Long (No. 9, Porsche Team Manthey):
Patrick Long
"Yesterday I drove in the rain for the first time on the Nordschleife and that is something quite special. Our car is well balanced and I'm very happy about that. Regardless of whether it rains during the race or stays dry, I'm feeling well prepared."

A classic biking trail also open to horses and hikers.
This trail can be done like a loop or back and forth on the same trail, whatever floats your boat. To access this trail, you can ride straight off the town discovery trail towards the 6th bridge access. Some use this route to access some canyons and climbing crags along this route. Biking is the favorite mode of travel on this trail.

The Queer Review
Natural Election – Film Review: Bad Education ★★★★
A classic satire comes along every so often to remind me, more than other film genres, that great art can come with a sucker punch to the frontal lobes. Movies such as Network, Nightcrawler, Heathers, and The Lobster remind us that when humans go bad, it's tragic yet devastatingly entertaining. In 1999, Alexander Payne brought us Election, which on the surface offered us a High School Student Council race, but really showed us how the war between ruthless ambition and morality could destroy the very fabric of society. I consider it a masterpiece and have hungered for more films like it ever since. I've waited and waited. Yes, Jojo Rabbit wowed me, but a great satire grounded in the mundane reality of a high school setting has proven elusive. The genre often spells box office poison in this cut and dry storytelling era in which we often find ourselves. Finally, Cory Finley, who brought us the impressive, tonally distinct Thoroughbreds in 2017, has followed it up with Bad Education. It oozes Election's DNA and announce itself as one of the best films of 2020 along with a career-best performance by Hugh Jackman.
HBO Films' Bad Education.
He stars as Frank Tassone, a real life Long Island High School Superintendent, who in 2002 when we first meet him, has brought Rosyln High School into the number 4 position in the country. Everybody loves Frank. He remembers everyone's names, takes part in an otherwise women's only book club, pays attention to his students, and eases complaining parents' worries by allowing their children to take tests again. This, coupled with the fact that so many students get into Ivy League schools and that property values have gone sky high because of his school's desirability, and no wonder Frank gets a virtual standing ovation wherever he goes. His loyal partner-in-crime, Pam Gluckin (Allison Janney) acts as his business administrator, and presides over the development of a multi-million dollar Skybridge for the school, which will add to the prestige. Frank and Pam work hard, banter effortlessly, and have the world at their fingertips. Pay close attention, however, and you'll notice little cracks here and there. It's called Bad Education for a reason. Things go real bad.

Screenwriter Mike Makowsky, who attended Rosyln High around the time of the film's events, impressively peels back the onion layers of the story. He beautifully mines suspense out of each little reveal and twist, giving the film a fantastic forward momentum. I knew nothing about the story going in, and won't spoil any details here, but I haven't felt this confident in a storyteller's abilities since Vince Gilligan blazed a trail with Breaking Bad.
Additionally, he has written for a large cast of characters, all of whom have distinctive voices and a chance to pop. While Jackman and Janney do stellar work, (more on them later), Geradline Viswanathan (a hilarious standout from Blockers) beautifully switches gears by giving a smart, tamped down performance as a student journalist with a great B.S. Detector. She answers to Alex Wolff's Nick, the newspaper editor who only cares about getting into a great college. Wolff, who shined in Hereditary, also surprised me with his ability to inhabit his soul-deprived character. Tony Winner Annaleigh Ashford broke my heart as Gluckin's naïve niece and co-worker, a person who thinks her tiny issues have caused so much trouble while neglecting to see the big picture problems right in front of her. Ray Romano knocks it out of the park as the head of the school board, a man who has had his own financial success but can't or won't acknowledge the nefarious schemes because his school has excelled so much. Rafael Casal plays a former student of Frank's who didn't quite live up to his potential. If you think you know Casal from his street-smart writing and acting in Blindspotting, think again. Here's an actor with true range, making himself nearly unrecognizable by changing his voice and demeanor to effortlessly slip into the skin of this sensitive gay bartender/dancer. Jeremy Shamos stands out as the put upon accountant who Frank plays like a fiddle to keep him from figuring out what's really happening. I wish Allison Janney had more to do in the second half of the film, but she galvanizes the first half with her fearless characterization of a woman who knows how to bulldoze a conversation to her liking. The accents may be broad, but she, like the rest of the cast, find the specifics of their humanity.

The film, of course, belongs to Jackman as Frank Tassone. With slicked-back hair and sharp suits, he commands any room he enters. Sure he's relatable lamenting the perpetual charcoal smoothies he drinks for his diet and smooth as he expertly bats off adoring single parents, but there's also something tightly wound and off about him. His early conversations with Pam feel like romantic comedy banter but the details fly by so fast you're not really sure what they're talking about. Stick with it, because Makowsky and Finley know exactly what they're doing to rope you in and make you hold on tight. As it progresses we see more and more of the real Frank emerging. We experience a touching scene in which Frank awkwardly lets down his guard to share a dance with someone. Moments later, we meet the real Frank and it's the most naked and raw Jackman has ever been. Another late scene gives Frank the opportunity to bare his true feelings and intentions on an unsuspecting parent, giving us a glimpse into Frank's motivations, truly ugly but also understandable. It's clear that Frank has had to perform for people his entire life, as he expertly navigates his image. It's a wonderfully modulated, scary, yet humane performance. We may not like what Frank does, but it's easy to put yourself in the shoes of an underpaid, overworked servant to the community.

Finlay and his cinematographer Lyle Vincent keep the film grounded with a realistic, fluorescent, dull sheen. The events may be extraordinary, but they, like Alexander Payne, know how to find life in the ordinary. Composer Michael Abels, who wrote the brilliant scores for Get Out and Us, brings a sense of grandeur to his symphonic cues and the right type of melancholy to the piano pieces. It adds up to a score which supports the dichotomy of Frank's public persona versus the really troubled man underneath.
Janney's first line says so much about the themes of this film, "A wise woman once said, it's not having what you want, it's wanting what you got". We all want nice things in life whether it be a nice place, a comfortable car, exotic travels, a healthy and happy family, to name a few. Sometimes we may ask ourselves what we would compromise in order to have our riches. Are we entitled to them? Do they make us happy? Bad Education, a perfect microcosm of our world today, seems to be saying that it doesn't matter. Maybe wanting is everything.
Glenn Gaylord's 50 SHADES OF GAY SCALE: Bad Education gets a 50 out of 50. It's ultimately a queer story about the lengths someone will go to in order to compartmentalize their life. The real Tassone has objected to the inclusion of gay subject matter in the film, dismissing it as superfluous. It's anything but, and I think he's simply playing another long con.

Corrections to Algebraic Topology --- last updated March 9, 2019.
Below is a cumulative list of corrections, clarifications, and comments for the various printings of the book. The list can also be downloaded in pdf format, with a few more details in some cases. Most of these corrections have been incorporated into later printings. Undoubtedly more errors remain to be discovered. If you find any, please send them to me for inclusion in this list and to correct future printings and the online version of the book.
Section 2.1, page 127. If you have an early printing of the book where the next-to-last commutative diagram on this page is a small diagram consisting of two short exact sequences joined by vertical maps alpha, beta, and gamma, then add the hypothesis that these maps are chain maps, commuting with boundary homomorphisms. If you have a later printing with a large three-dimensional commutative diagram which includes the boundary maps as well as the maps alpha, beta, and gamma, then nothing more needs to be added. However, in the line preceding this large diagram there may be a typo in the word "sequences" in your printing of the book.
Section 4.1, page 349, 13 lines from the bottom. It should perhaps be mentioned that the deformation of f on e^k to make f(e^k) miss the point p will not make f(e^k) intersect any more cells than it intersected before.

"I never feel lonely." Also, daily writing links, Aug 31 - Sept 4. | Flodesk
"I NEVER FEEL LONELY."
ALSO, DAILY WRITING LINKS, AUG 31 - SEPT 4.
Dear writers,
Real talk: have you ever felt lonely? One week before the community at Louis Place opens up, we're meditating on the paradoxes of solitude, community, and kinship. We present to you, "I NEVER FEEL LONELY: a road trip conversation" (soundtrack note: the new Brandy album, B7 ).
Quincy : To be honest, I never feel lonely, as in sad. It's more that I waver between being alone and being social and enjoying both. I love compromising. I love countering. I love producing something—conversation—that, on my own, wouldn't be possible.
Now I'm looking up "loneliness" in the dictionary, trying to get a handle on what it is. The Oxford English Dictionary links loneliness and solitude: "having no companionship or society; unaccompanied, solitary, lone."
Steffani : And then there's Claudia Rankine, who writes,
Define loneliness?
Yes .
But seriously, have I felt lonely? I wonder. I do love being alone. I love that feeling of being drunk on my work, of living and sleeping and waking and writing without ever leaving. Sometimes I feel like I can eat my work and breathe it, like I can create for myself everything that I need, like the way parents say they can eat their babies, a little cannibalistic. But I agree with you: I get tired of myself. I need freshness. I don't know if I would ever say that "I love compromising," but I do welcome some friction.
Q : I think many writers are like me. We love studying people. We love watching what happens when people come together. I think that's why I love to host. I like reading the room. I can scan and hear and remember. I want everyone to feel seen and taken care of, and to do for them what they need.
S : In her poem "The President's Wife," Morgan Parker asks, "Is loneliness cultural?" I think a lot about the relationship between Blackness and solitude and anxiety and difference, what it means to feel seen, or to feel like you are getting what you need, what it means to be apart / "a part"? Have I ever been seen? Sometimes I feel as though I can barely remember what it feels like to be physically among friends. Six months into the isolation of the pandemic, I have been alarmed to find myself struggling to write about those parts of social life that I haven't experienced in a while.
Q : Yes—when I rejoin society after being solitary for some time, I find living in language challenging. I so easily forget what people have been experiencing in community, thinking about in community, exchanging conversation in community, when I am operating only by and for myself. My writing feels impoverished when I'm alone for too long.
The first monthly Orbit workshop for at Louis Place members will be held on September 16 from 6:30-8:00pm EST, and we'll be focusing specifically on what it means to be in dialogue —on strategies for building polyphony and friction through the collision of multiple voices in our work . Our Orbit generative writing workshops are a quick series of exercises—we think of these as tools for staying flexy and limber and strong, whether you're searching for new resources and directions in a current project or building something new or just playing around. Like all at Louis Place workshops, this follow-along session is open to all members, and will be available after the fact for those who can't make it live (audio or captioned video for those who'd like to follow along, and a text PDF for those who prefer to read).
So if you're planning to join us, why not apply now ? We're sending a series of notes and a complete September calendar this week to help our members prepare, including details about our orientation event on September 7 at 2pm EST—you'll be added to the list when you complete your registration.

ADD LINKS TO MY CALENDAR
👉🏾 Teju Cole, master of literary introspection, recommends his ten favorite novels of solitude . In his introduction, he writes:
It all began with Crusoe. But it intensified in our time: this is the age of loneliness. The canonical texts are Notes from the Underground, Hunger, L'Etranger, and The Catcher in the Rye. Other presiding spirits are those of Kafka and Beckett. But in my own reading, I'm drawn not only to extreme isolation but to apparently well-integrated individuals who, nevertheless, spend most of their time in their own thoughts. Many of these novels are narrated in the first person, but I hadn't noticed before how many of them are by anonymous narrators, unaccompanied even by their names. Julius, in Open City, is named, but what he shares with all the protagonists below is a shifting, and shifty, relationship with his author. In writing him, I invented situations, attitudes, beliefs and actions, but a great deal of his solitude came out of mine.
Have you read his novel Open City ?
👉🏾 A. H. Jerriod Avant recently curated a special series of Poem-a-Day featuring Black writers from the southern United States. Check out the trippy poem WHO REAL by Marwa Helal ("the return of poem to be read from right to left."). Here's an excerpt:

👉🏾 Amy Long's unconventional "novel in essays" about living with chronic pain, Codependence , uses the present tense to create a sense of instability. "About half the book consists of Bluets-style braided essays with numbered paragraphs, all of which are named after some recovery- or addiction-related term that I use ironically to make readers question their assumptions about drugs and pain. The braided essays have a present-tense narrative that's punctuated by past-tense scenes or ruminations, and the present-tense story was often unfolding as I wrote the essay," she tells us in an interview about her craft. Read an interview with her here .
👉🏾 We're really looking forward to poet and multimedia artist Rachel Eliza Griffiths' next book Seeing the Body . She reads her poem "Chronology" and speaks about its relationship to the Italian painter Alberto Burri in this 20 minute episode of Poet's House Presents . Note: I love how the Poet's House Presents series enables you to hear the poet's voice, see the poet reading, and see the text of the poem itself scrolling alongside.
👉🏾 Here's a roundup of horror stories by Black writers, including novels and graphic novels by Victor LaValle, Ayize Jama-Everett, Rusty Cundieff, and Micheline Hess.

If you would like to organize one or two sessions on a specific topic and have speakers/presenters lined up, contact the CEA Conference Coordinator at cea.conference@gmail.com by January 31.
Individual papers must still go through the regular process using the online system to submit a paper. However, the "Comments" section of the form should make reference to the special session (e.g., "this paper is part of a special session on International Trade Disputes organized by Prof. Jane Doe"). The applicable submission and registration deadlines are the same as for regular paper presenters.
In the case of a "panel" session, the session organizer needs to provide a title for the panel and a brief outline of the panel topic. As well the full name, affiliation and email for the presenters in order that they can be added in the system. Typically a panel includes 3 or more presenters and a chair for the session. Papers will not be attached to the panelists in these sessions, only the name and affiliation for the panelists will be listed along with the title of the panel session and the name of the chair/co-chair.
Affiliate Organizations may submit blocks of sessions for inclusion in the program. They should contact the CEA Conference Coordinator at cea.conference@gmail.com by January 31 to state their intentions of doing so. At this point they should indicate (a) how many sessions they would like to sponsor and organize; (b) the type of session ("regular" 3 paper session or a panel); (c) on which days they want these sessions to be scheduled and the preferred time slots; and (d) if these sessions will require particular preparations by the on-site organizer at our conference venue (e.g., catering, presentation tools).
In the case of a "regular" paper session, the session organizer must ask presenters to submit their papers through the regular process using the online system. The deadline to submit a paper is February 15, 2019. In the "Comments" section of the form, the presenter should make reference to the organized session (e.g., "this paper is part of an organized session by the Economist Group). The applicable submission deadlines are the same as for regular paper presenters.
By February 9 at the latest, the conference organizer must receive a word or text document that will specify the session titles, session chairs, paper titles and authors, and possibly discussants. List of author names must include affiliation and indicate which author is the presenter, as these sessions will have to be entered into the online system. In the case of a panel session please provide the session title, session chair(s) and the name, affliation and email for all presenters.
The Canadian Economics Association will make available funds per study group. The level of funding depends on the scope of contributions to the conference program and the level of available financial resources. The funds can be used to organize sessions at the CEA meetings or they can be used for other initiatives.
In order to receive funding for a given year study groups must organize sessions at the annual CEA conference. The quantity and quality of such sessions will be relevant in assessing whether a grant is made and assessing the amount of the grant. Study groups can hold meetings distinct from the CEA annual conference but not in a manner that would harm participation in the CEA conference (for example, if a study group held a conference at the time of the CEA meeting in a different location, it may disqualify itself from funding).
Study group coordinators must be willing to serve on the program committee or ensure that a representative of the study group will serve if asked by the program chair. A study group must have at least 10 CEA members. Study groups are expected to appropriately acknowledge CEA support and to cooperate on matters relating to marketing and communication including maintaining links to the CEA website on their websites.
Study group awards will be provided on a competitive basis at the judgment of the President-Elect who must base such judgment on the above criteria and who may seek input from others as appropriate. Payment of the grant will be made only to the study group itself (for which the study group would require a bank account) or to a university or other appropriate organization, not to private individuals.

m (→Sample Problem 1: Simplify the Expression)
find the values of all possible inputs that make the expression ''true''." Simplify means writing an equivalent expression using the fewest number of operators.
=== Sample Problem 1: Simplify the Expression ===
=== Problem 1: Simplify the Expression ===
'''Problem:''' Simplify the following expression as much as possible:
Boolean algebra is the branch of algebra in which the values of the variables and constants have exactly two values: true and false, usually denoted 1 and 0 respectively.
The basic operators in Boolean algebra are and, or, and not. The secondary operators are exclusive or (often called xor) and exclusive nor (sometimes called equivalence). They are secondary in the sense that they can be composed from the basic operators.
The and of two values is true only whenever both values are true. It is written as $xy$ or $x \cdot y$. The values of and for all possible inputs is shown in the following truth table:
[math]x[/math]
[math]y[/math]
[math]x y[/math]
The or of two values is true whenever either or both values are true. It is written as $x+y$. The values of or for all possible inputs is shown in the following truth table:
[math]x + y[/math]
The not of a value is its opposite; that is, the not of a true value is false whereas the not of a false value is true. It is written as $\overline{x}$ or $\neg{x}$. The values of not for all possible inputs is shown in the following truth table:
[math]\overline{x}[/math]
The xor of two values is true whenever the values are different. It uses the $\oplus$ operator, and can be built from the basic operators: $x \oplus y = x \overline{y} + \overline{x} y$ The values of xor for all possible inputs is shown in the following truth table:
[math]x \oplus y[/math]
The xnor of two values is true whenever the values are the same. It is the not of the xor function. It uses the $\odot$ operator: $x \odot y = \overline{x \oplus y}$. The xnor can be built from basic operators: $x \odot y = x y + \overline{x} \overline{y}$ The values of xnor for all possible inputs is shown in the following truth table:
[math]x \odot y[/math]
Just as algebra has basic rules for simplifying and evaluating expressions, so does Boolean algebra.

Why is Boolean Algebra Important for ACSL Students?
Boolean algebra is important to programmers, computer scientists, and the general population.
For programmers, Boolean expressions are used for conditionals and loops. For example, the following snippet of code sums the even numbers that are not also multiples of 3, stopping when the sum hits 100:
while (s < 100):
if (x % 2 == 0) and (x % 3 != 0)
then s = s + x
x = x + 1
Both the conditional statement s < 100 and the Boolean expression with 2 conditional statements (x % 2 == 0) and (x % 3 != 0) evaluate to true or false.
For computer scientists, Boolean algebra is the basis for digital circuits that make up a computer's hardware. The Digital Electronics category concerns a graphical representation of a circuit. That circuit is typically easiest to understand and evaluate by converting it to its Boolean algebra representation.
The general population uses Boolean algebra, probably without knowing that they are doing so, when they enter search terms in Internet search engines. For example, the search expression "jaguar speed -car is the Boolean expression "jaguar" and "car" and not "speed"; it returns pages about the speed of the jaguar animal, not the Jaguar car.
A law of Boolean algebra is an identity such as [math]x + (y + z) = (x + y) + z[/math] between two Boolean terms, where a Boolean term is defined as an expression built up from variables, the constants 0 and 1, and operations and, or, not, xor, and xnor.
Like ordinary algebra, parentheses are used to group terms. When a not is represented with an overhead horizontal line, there is an implicit grouping of the terms under the line. That is, $x \cdot \overline{y + z}$ is evaluated as is it were written $x \cdot \overline{(y + z)}.$
Order of Precedence
The order of operator precedence is not; then and; then xor and xnor; and finally or. Operators with the same level of precedence are evaluated from left-to-right.
Fundamental Identities
Commutative Law – The order of application of two separate terms is not important. $x+y = y+x$ $x \cdot y = y \cdot x$
Associative Law – Regrouping of the terms in an expression doesn't change the value of the expression. $(x + y) + z$ = $x + (y + z)$ $x \cdot (y \cdot z) = (x \cdot y) \cdot z$
Idempotent Law – A term that is or'´ed or and´ed with itself is equal to that term. $ x +x = x $ $x \cdot x = x$
Annihilator Law – A term that is or'´ed with 1 is 1; a term and´ed with 0 is 0. $x + 1 = 1$ $ x \cdot 0 = 0 $
Identity Law – A term or´ed 0 or and´ed with a 1 will always equal that term. $x + 0 = x$ $x \cdot 1 = x$
Complement Law – A term or´ed with its complement equals 1 and a term and´ed with its complement equals 0. $x + \overline{x} = 1 $ $x \cdot \overline{x} = 0$
Absorptive Law – Complex expressions can be reduced to a simpler ones by absorbing like terms.
$x+x y = x$
$ x +\overline{x}y = x + y $
$x (x+y) = x$
Distributive Law – It's OK to multiply or factor-out an expression.
$x \cdot (y + z) = xy + xz$
$(x+y) \cdot (p + q) = xp + xq +yp + yq$
$(x+y)(x+z)=x + yz $
DeMorgan's Law – An or (and) expression that is negated is equal to the and (or) of the negation of each term. $\overline{x+y} = \overline{x} \cdot \overline{y}$ $\overline{x \cdot y} = \overline{x} + \overline{y}$
Double Negation – A term that is inverted twice is equal to the original term. $\overline{\overline{x}} = x $
Relationship between XOR and XNOR $ x\odot y = \overline{x\oplus y} = x \oplus \overline{y} =\overline{x} \oplus {y}$
Problems in this category are typically of the form "Given a Boolean expression, simplify it as much as possible" or "Given a Boolean expression, find the values of all possible inputs that make the expression true." Simplify means writing an equivalent expression using the fewest number of operators.
Problem 1: Simplify the Expression
Problem: Simplify the following expression as much as possible: $ \overline{ \overline{A(A+B)} + B\overline{A}}$
The simplification proceeds as follows:
$\overline{ \overline{A(A+B)} + B\overline{A}}$
[math]= \left(\overline{ \overline{A(A+B)}}\right) \cdot \left(\overline{ B\overline{A}}\right)[/math] (DeMorgan's Law)
[math]= \left(A(A+B)\right) \cdot \left( \overline{B}+\overline{\overline{A}}\right)[/math] (Double Negation; DeMorgan's Law)
[math]= A \cdot \left( \overline{B}+A\right)[/math] (Absorption; Double Negation)
[math]=A[/math] (Absorption)
Sample Problem 2: Find Solutions
Problem: Find all orderd pairs $(A,B)$ that make the following expression true: $ \overline{ \overline{(A+B)} + \overline{A}B }$
There are typically two approaches to solving this type of problem. One approach is to simplify the expression as much as possible, until it's obvious what the solutions are. The other approach is to create a truth table of all possible inputs, with columns for each subexpression.
The simplification approach is as following:
$ \overline{\overline{(A+B)} + \overline{A}B}$
$= \overline{\overline{A+B}} \cdot \overline{\overline{A}B}$
$= (A+B) \cdot (\overline{\overline{A}}+\overline{B} ) $
$= (A+B) \cdot (A+\overline{B}) $
$= AA + A\overline{B} + BA + B\overline{B} $
$= A + A(\overline{B} + B) + 0 $
$= A + A(1)$
$= A + A$
$=A$
This means that all inputs are valid whenever $A$ is true: $(1,0)$ and $(1,1)$
The truth table approach is as following. Each column is the result of a basic operation on two other columns.
OR of Col#1, Col#2
NOT of Col#3
ADD of Col#1, Col#2
[math]A[/math]
[math]B[/math]
[math]A+B[/math]
[math]\overline{A+B}[/math]
[math]\overline{A}[/math]
[math]\overline{A}B[/math]
[math]\overline{A+B} + \overline{A}B[/math]
[math]\overline{\overline{A+B} + \overline{A}B}[/math]
The rightmost column is the expression we are solving; it is true for the 3rd and 4th rows, where the inputs are $(1,0)$ and $(1,1)$.
