Lmdh is going to be so good. Next year might be weird with the best we can hope for is a comedy Le Mans Toyota Breakdown.

But that doesn’t mean it won’t be interesting or good racing.

harperdc posted:I think so - plus, back in the day, it was the Jaguar XJR-14 that I think also got very close to F1 times (if memory serves), but that was because it had mountains of downforce and 1991 Formula 1 was kind of a transition still. And I think there's also apocryphal stories of Group B cars lapping Estoril almost as fast as F1 cars in the 1980s as well. The Group B thing is false, btw. Also 1991 wasn’t really a transition year, it’s just that the new 3.5L Prototypes were essentially enclosed F1 cars. Frond fucked around with this message at 15:38 on Dec 16, 2020 |

So stupid that the JSPC still stuck to the old rules, so Toyota had two different Group C prototypes in the 3.5L era. It only worked for the XJR-14 because the HB was developed with money by Ford for F1 already. The Group C cars were more like enclosed F1 cars by that time anyway. Peugeot did take their Group C engine to F1 with middling results. Frond fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Dec 16, 2020 |

For forced induction, the V6 is best compromise. Reason being is that they can be very short and very narrow for aero considerations while being economical and also making big power. They can also be used as a stressed member easily, unlike Flat and Inline engines which require more work or a cradle.

Facts and logic = bad Bizarre, noisy engine configurations created by contrarian egomaniacs = good Get with the program

Unless GM shows up with an NA v8 and then you get to argue about torque curves (although maybe the hybrid will negate some of that)

At least Audi and Porsche are looking at non-V6 options. Here’s hoping Mazda does The Thing and brings back the keg of bees

Man RIP to the Corvette program. I missed it at the time but Dan Binks quit in may, then recently Pratt & Miller was bought by Oshkosh (?????????) And now Doug Fehan was forced out. Never mind they're going to end up running alone in GTE soon.

Excellent Race. I do feel bad for Hirakawa though - both times he lost out to Yamamoto with him in his sight.

harperdc posted:Porsche’s motorsports head mentioned the ‘80s and ‘90s specifically in interviews, and said whether it’s customers or the factory team, “a Porsche win is a win!” I don't think they did, Oreca ran a 908 and ByLOLes R10s immediately prior to the hybrid era but I don't remember a customer hybrid.

I got the Dakar stuff as a youtube rec, but what the hell is going on with the coverage. Like the only video on the classics stuff is like 30 seconds long and most of the other videos are like a couple of minutes

Like the only video on the classics stuff is like 30 seconds long and most of the other videos are like a couple of minutes The clips they show on YouTube are the same that are shown during the daily recap shows. The daily recap show supplements that with interviews, news, special features, host banter, etc. If you're just wanting to follow along with the action of the race what you see on YouTube is just the bare minimum of it. RedBull TV has the daily shows if you want the juicy fat bits with your meat. https://www.redbull.com/int-en/events/dakar-rally

Dubai 24 starts in a jiff. Is that a proper 24 h race or one of those "easier on the crews" split races?

Yeah the whole pitch as I understood it was for it to basically be prototype innards in a road car shell. If it's just a rebranding of LMP1 then what's the point?

Porsche, Aston, Mclaren and Ferrari were talking about it weren’t they? Assumed they were trying to get back to the days of clk gtrs and 911 gt1s and F1s and stuff. This sucks and I’m into it the exact same amount as I was with lmp1.

Everyone is cutting their motorsport stuff as it costs too much and it doesn't align with pushing for EV's idk. I don't even have anything against ev's I'd love to see a balls to the wall ev series openwheel or hybrid. Weren't porsche going in on the LMDH which is like a hopped up hybrid lmp2 or summat? I really lost interest in motorsport over the last year lol
