That commentator brought up a good point which is that these LMP1 cars are almost as fast as F1 cars and have way better reliability than all of the F1 cars. The LMP1 cars were about eight seconds off of the F1 cars in qualifying. It's probably a larger gap now but that's incredible to me.

Yeah because 2009 - 2016 was easily in the pile of one of the worst formulas ever devised for Formula 1.

I think they were talking about Spa, right? *edit* http://fastestlaps.com/tracks/spa-francorchamps last year Nico Rosberg did a 1:46.74 at the Belgian GP and this year the Toyota did a 1:53.66 at the 6 hours of Spa last month.

The LMP1 cars were about eight seconds off of the F1 cars in qualifying. It's probably a larger gap now but that's incredible to me. Yeah, F1's hybrids are much more heavily regulated, the engines are much more insane in terms of engineering tolerances, and LMP1's entire propulsion system won't break down if you look at it funny. Then again, an F1 engine is designed to last 5 races (each race being a minimum of 305km/190.625mi except Monaco, so 1,525km/953.125mi not counting practice and qualifying). Last year, the winning 919 did 384 laps for 5,233.536km/3,252.096mi, or running over 3.4 times what an F1 engine is expected to. So yeah, LMP1 engines are a lot more reliable. Oh, and if anyone wants to know, Indy is 2500 miles on the engine before it can be changed, though there's some weirdness involving the Indy 500 simply because they know how much of hell 400+ miles at full throttle can be on an engine.

Fumble posted:Was that the year that only Merc knew which way round the turbo was supposed to go? No, I think the issue was that Mercedes and Petronas had told the teams that were buying the motors what type of fuel and oil to use, and Mobil (who were sponsoring McLaren at that time) completely ignored Petronas' advice and went another way.

You Am I posted:No, I think the issue was that Mercedes and Petronas had told the teams that were buying the motors what type of fuel and oil to use, and Mobil (who were sponsoring McLaren at that time) completely ignored Petronas' advice and went another way. Close. The other Mercedes teams may have had their own sponsors, but they all used Petronas lubricants and fuels. McLaren still used Mobil for their supply, and so Mobil didn't have all the top-secret best information on speed. This explains the gap not just to the works Mercedes but also to Williams that year. --- Don't forget the LMP1s are probably on less-sticky tires than F1 - Michelin in WEC are more secretive about the compounds and relative grippiness than Pirelli for F1, but that's what you get in more open rules. Also the P1s weigh much more as well - 2017 weight minimums are 702kg for F1 and 870 kg for LMP1H.

They can corner relatively well compared to a F1 car, have tremendous straight line acceleration and braking due to hybrid / turbo / diesel style tech and are amazingly reliable for the technology in place (unless you're Toyota and the powertrain dies within the last 5 minutes of 24 hrs)

Has anyone watched the Le Mans documentary on Amazon? It's quite good, apart from an awful female voiceover that they have altered to sound like she's speaking via a radio. Very odd. She also says "Nee sonn" instead of "Nissan" which is equally awful. And the director of Nissan seems like a giant bellend.

They pronounce every name in French. So you get to watch Laiwiis Amiltone. They do this deliberately, and it's even mandatory for their reporters, because their arrogance and chauvinism comes close to that of English speakers and it's hard to accept that there are other people with different languages on the planet.

Full blown articles usually with illustrations from Giorgio Piola. It's also not information that the other teams don't already know. And lol forever @ Palmer. It doesn't help that his team mate is world class driver Nico Hulkenberg who drags that shithouse car into much higher places than it belongs.

2020 new aero rules kick in allowing movable pre-set aero parts. That's cause the overall aero kit is homologated and they're gonna allow moving parts to accommodate the different tracks. Weirdly, new safety cell rules where the drivers seat will be more.... upright? Ok. Plus more room in the cockpit. Reduction of windtunnel hours from 900 to 600. More interestingly, the LMP1 cars have to travel on electric power for 1km after any pit stops and they're going to introduce battery recharging for the pit stops as well. Definitely more in line with modern electric car trends and will probably push the development of faster and faster charging stations for the masses. That's the way to do it. Let WEC do all the road relevant development stuff as it should be and let F1 just burnout my balls off.
