Is IMSA still chasing the dream of ACO and FIA somehow agreeing to allow the 2022 DPi spec to run at Le Mans

I was always against DPi at LeMans because I'd rather the top class had 3 cars than BoP in a prototype race.

But since the ACO are somehow inventing their own multilayered terrible version of BoP to gently caress up the top class anyway then screw it, let's at least have the BoPed cars that loving work.

Ford is pushing hard to have DPis eligible to run at Le Mans since it would help justify the coming decision whether to spend money on a 2022 program and benefit both IMSA and the WEC. but I would nearly drop dead of surprise if the FIA agreed to it

P2 has had BOP for a while, but yeah, for the top class of the world championship it ain't great. They might as well work something out where the DPis can come along and get somewhat close on lap times.

P2 hasn't had bop at all in this regulation set. The only thing remotely close was the joker updates to everyone but the oreca

It’s so obviously beneficial to both IMSA and the WEC that they align hypercar and DPi 2.0 in the face of a global recession and huge uncertainty and upheaval within the automotive industry, to make it as easy as possible for manufacturers to commit to programs, but the FIA is myopic and shortsighted and only like ideas when they’re the ones who came up with them. There’s no reason not to have hypercars at Daytona and DPis at Le Mans except for sheer stubborn protectionism

Land Motorsport really needs to read the IMSA rulebook, I don't think they've done a single race in the NAEC without penalties.

It’s mainly the ACO, not the FIA, to blame for WEC’s (mis)fortunes.

Hypercar is just so dumb. There’s no incentive to develop anything clever because of BOP, and the cars are gimped compared to the actual road cars they’re supposed to be based on. A Valkyrie can’t run it’s hybrid system etc etc.

It’s hilarious how they keep getting disqualified and penalized and they don’t seem to care, they keep coming back. But still haven’t read the rules.

The new tower at Road Atlanta is amazing, especially compared to the old one. The cars sound really odd in here because of how thick the glazing is.

I wrote some :words: about the C8.R, plus there are photos:

Bathurst is at the 2/3 mark, and we’ve got people squishing into the wall on the top of the mountain. Couple of safety cars in the last 30 minutes or so.

Probably wasn't an awful move, except that it relied on no more safety cars, and that's always a risk at Mt Panorama.

But yeah, it's Whincup, of course he cracked the shits.

Next he'll complain about the speed of the ford despite the fact that the podium was 2/3 positions on the podium meaning something right must be happening with the balance between the cars.
