Spectators at next weekend's Nurburgring 24 Hours are in for a treat, with Porsche's Timo Bernhard set to demo the manufacturer's world championship winning 919 Evo during a demo run at the venue.

But wait, there's more! Bernhard will be joined by sportscars legend Hans-Joachim Stuck who will take to the daunting track behind the wheel of a venerable Porsche 956C.

The 919 Evo, which underwent extensive mechanical and aerodynamic modifications, recently shattered the F1 lap record at Spa as Porsche initiated the car's 'World Tour' that celebrates the LMp1 machine's distinguished career and WEC drivers' and manfacturers' titles.
