harperdc posted:It will be even more interesting to see how the non-hybrids keep up with the factory spaceship. It’ll be a “team’s” championship next year, so all of these groups will be fighting hard. It’s no guarantee that Toyota will be far ahead, and it’ll be interesting to see if any of the new prototypes will be fast and reliable. The Toyota is gonna be overwhelming favourites again surely. Excluding any reliability issues (and since Toyota Gazoo racing is involved, that cuts both ways), the sheer time that the LMP1-H is gonna be in the pits compared to the LMP1's is gonna be what wins it alone. I mean, the LMP1s still aren't likely able to touch an LMP1-H's laptimes. 340kph is impressive, but remember that the LMP1-H's have instant torque and that drivers accelerate every time there's a straight section that is more than 5m long.

If Toyota doesnt win every race, it will be hilarious and deserving of mockery and man do i hope it happens. Not enough to get me to watch outside of the Sebring debacle and Lemans, but still.

LMP1s might get close on pace, but Toyota will be the biggest, best funded, most professional team out there, and I’d imagine the fuel/energy usage rules will still lean heavily in their favor. I bet it’s at least two fuel stops fewer at Le Mans than the next best P1. Most races should see the Toyotas battling at the front with the privateers behind. The intriguing part will be

Toyota shouldn't even break down because the lack of factory opposition means they shouldn't have to push their cars to the limit.

Whincup is racing in the Bathurst 12h with Kenny Habul and Tristan Vautier. Which is to say Kenny Habul is gonna bin the car at Skyline in FP1 and total it and Whincup won't race at all.

WTCR calendar is out and actually looks decent. Monza and Motegi out, Benelux and Suzuka in to go along with TCR Europe and Super Formula respectively. Also Macau will be the final round instead of Losail so seems like the Qatar money stopped coming eventually.

Paul Ricard and Magny Cours are both boring, but Paul Ricard is a special sort of post Tilke rear end-suck after its redesign that should be forgotten. By comparison to that boring rear end place, Magny Cours gleams with fuckin' soul. I would rather watch the neutered Hockenheim than Paul Ricard. But I would probably just watch neither tbh.
