"We had two choices. There was the new small Ford HB V8, or the Porsche. I told Ohashi of those two options, and he said, 'Porsche!' I said, 'It costs more money.' 'It doesn't matter...' Stars came into his eyes." lmao of course the rich Japanese dude wanted to go Porsche. I don't think they just lopped the cylinders off, it was probably a more modern design, and I do remember it was supposed to be in the LMP car that Porsche skipped in favor of the Cayenne SUV development. I also trust that they might trust their F1 partners a little more when it comes to the engine design this time...

F1 has to be one of the least environmentally friendly sports that exists today. If a driver actually cared enough about the environment to actually give up their extravagant lifestyle I would be surprised. Then again most of these drivers have no self awareness at all, so maybe he believes it

I presume CPS was called on you shortly after you clicked play on the video Rhopunzel posted:lol and then they went to arrows, told them they were the problem and secretly tried to get their main investor to buy jordan instead lol Long story short, yeah that's what Porsche got up to, but not after completely overhauling the engine internally and in secrecy as an "engineering exercise". I did a full writeup on the CGT and how it came to be, as we had one available in our showroom back in February. My first few versions of the write up took a big ol' poo poo on the 3512 before final editing. quote:The deep roots of the Carrera GT can be traced back to the late 1980s, when Porsche was supplying Formula 1 teams with a dominant Techniques d’Avant Garde badged 1.5L turbocharged V6 engine. With engine regulation changes looming on the horizon, legendary Porsche engineer Hans Mezger would lead the charge for the development of a 3.5L, naturally-aspirated V12 engine. Known as “Type 3512,” this new V12 powered the Footwork Arrows Formula 1 team for the 1991 season. Type 3512 would be Porsche’s swan song in Formula 1, as the 1991 season culminated with Porsche’s departure, and Porsche has yet to return.

If you’re talking about the amount of carbon put out, the logistics should bother you. Flights are big time polluters (what was the stat, the running of an entire GP weekend by the cars put together is about the same as a single trans-Atlantic flight?) and cargo ships are still using extremely nasty bunker fuel that makes Euro V and VI level diesel fuels look squeaky clean by comparison. I do understand the waste of tires, and I think that’s partially why it looks like there will be changes to the qualifying rules to require running on all three sets during dry quali sessions.

Logistics is absolutely the greater of 2 evils but also largely out of its hands until the EU starts mandating plane boat emissions.
