Porsche supports London foodie heaven at Tobacco Dock, London

Auto culture and culinary flair rev up with Porsche at Taste Festive

A worldwide culinary platform representing foodie heaven and a renowned sports car manufacturer will come together in a mouth-watering collaboration when Porsche joins the line-up at Taste Festive in Tobacco Dock, London, this weekend.

Taste Festive presents stunning food prepared by the world’s top restaurants, globally-renowned chefs hosting masterclasses and cooking demonstrations, superb drink and outstanding entertainment, all set in a bustling and iconic city location.

Porsche will be celebrating its entry into the 2019/2020 ABB FIA Formula E Championship at Taste. The highly-anticipated participation by Porsche in the innovative all-electric single-seater race series has already seen a podium finish for the team in the first event at the Diriyah E-Prix today.

The Porsche booth has been designed for visitors to sit and relax in a custom lounge area, with canapés and shots of health drinks on offer, where they can discover more about the famous sports car marque. A replica of the Porsche 99X Electric raced by the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team will also be on display, blending this new flavour of motorsport with the taste sensations of the food festival.

Taste Festive is live until Sunday 24 November, located in the Tobacco Dock, a Grade 1 listed warehouse in Wapping, East London.

Weekend opening times are:
23 November 11:00 – 16:30 18:00 – 22:30
24 November 12:00 – 17:00

Porsche in Formula E
The TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team, like the other teams contesting the Championship, had a total of 15 days of testing available to them between 1 January and 1 October 2019. This was followed by the official Formula E test at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo near Valencia in mid-October, where the twelve teams competing in Season 6 had their first encounter on track together. The Porsche 99X Electric completed more than 5,000 test kilometres in the test and development phase, led by drivers Neel Jani (CH) and André Lotterer (D).

In terms of the design, the traditional Porsche motorsport colours were chosen for the Formula E racing car. From a bird’s-eye perspective, the Porsche emblem is clearly visible around the cockpit Halo system. As usual, the naming format is three digits which represent Porsche racing cars and two-door sports cars. The highest number, nine, was used twice, to re-emphasise the importance of the Formula E project for Porsche, while the X stands for the forward-looking approach and prototype racing. The Porsche 99X Electric also serves as a development platform for fully electric, future production models.

In this respect, the 800-volt technology used in Formula E is also used in the series production of the new, fully electric Porsche sports car, the Taycan. In addition, energy management and efficiency are the keys to success in both Formula E and production road cars. This is where the permanent synchronous motor comes into play which has an important role in optimising the drive concept.

The development of the Porsche powertrain, the ‘Porsche E-Performance Powertrain’, has played a central role from the start. The Formula E regulations stipulate a standardised chassis and a standard battery, while the drive technologies are developed by the manufacturers. The engineers were able to make use of their LMP1 experience when developing the Porsche Formula E powertrain. With the hybrid technology, the foundations were laid for electric mobility.

“We laid the foundations for our future involvement in Formula E during the LMP1 project. We used the insights gained during that time in the development of the Porsche Formula E powertrain. We focussed on building a highly effective powertrain with the highest level of efficiency,” says Malte Huneke, Technical Project Leader Formula E.
