The problem with that is that DPi is intrinsicly based on the current LMP2 regulations. If you scrap the LMP2 rules, you’re also scrapping the basis of the DPi cars.

That doesn’t make you a purist, it makes you a traditionalist. F1 cars only defining feature is that they have a single seat, everything else (open wheels and cockpit, in particular) is secondary. And the traditionalists are the ones who fought against Jackie Stewart’s push towards things like having a doctor at the…

No, this is a car for the US only. It won’t race anywhere else, Le Mans included.

Can’t BoP blown apex seals :)

Numbers I’ve heard thrown about were around $10M+ to develop the car if you have factory funding and want to win (aka, this is what GM spent and Acura plans to spend), while the yearly costs shouldn’t be much higher than an LMP2 which puts it around $5-10M/yr/car.

The ACO isn’t known for wanting to allow others to control the technical regulations of cars allowed at Le Mans. I expect, so long as they have enough P1 Privateer, P2, and GTE entries at Le Mans, they’ll be content to have no factory prototypes until they can rewrite their own rules to replace P1H.

I strongly doubt the DPi to Le Mans idea, unless the ACO completely runs out of cars to fill the grid. Even if Porsche and Toyota leave LMP1, I expect them to build a new class from scratch instead of adding DPi to the WEC.

For the sake of clarity, ALL the cars in the Prototype class next year will be LMP2 chassis. DPi cars are required to be built off one of the four approved LMP2 chassis, with a new drivetrain and bodywork being the thing that turns them into a DPi.

My first car was a Capri. Absolutely great, fun first car. Just sporty enough to enjoy, great for hanging around and messing with friends, FWD and light enough not to get into too much trouble. I’d love to get a cheap one as a fun weekend car again.

On the other hand, why does the article seems to be taking the side of the outrage (“It’s good to know that black Twitter works around the world”) instead of holding them accountable for getting outraged over something that isn’t outrageous? Particularly since uncalled for outrage works against convincing people to…

GTLM cars are GTE cars.

Which has always been the running joke amongst Lions fans since I was old enough to understand such things (a bit after Barry Sanders left).

So then the question is whether it’s immoral to withold the full value from the seller, or only immoral to intentionally mislead the seller (talk them down from an already low price, for instance).

Relevant:

Even then, the racing team’s base where they actually do work on the cars is in England. The ownership team is the only thing outside the UK.

It’s about more than nostalgia, it’s about getting people through the gates.

Well, that’s the concerning thing. Liberty has talked a lot about how they want to ensure tracks like Silverstone can host races, but when it came time to put their money where their mouth was they declined to renegotiate the contract, saying it was made in ‘good faith’ and wanted to honor it.

Donington is the closest, but would still need renovations and either government funding or a steep discount on the race sanction fee.

Concrete is good when it’s parallel with the direction of travel. Cars don’t bounce back off of it into traffic. Perpendicular to traffic is a massive issue, and a lack of transparency from the FIA about it is counter-productive.

Turn 3 is not especialy dangerous unless you dont slow down for it
