Transmission is behind the engine. Mid-engine configuration.

NA engine, based on the new 991 architecture, AFAIK.

Why put it on pole rather than wait for the actual race if you were truly sandbagging? Suspect it's more new platform that's being sorted/learned/developed.

The engine is right behind the driver. Might as well call it the 911 Cayman RSR .. good enough for 2nd at Daytona, but did anyone see how much man-handling Pilet had to do in the wet? normal wet racing or set-up?
