I’m certain you understand the difference between the words designed and achieved.

The Deltawing was designed to run 235mph laps on Indycar ovals. The Nissan Deltawing and subsequent Panoz run coupes were highly modified from the original Indycar spec.

Basically any tune or exhaust will cause a vehicle to exceed legal emissions limits

“Some were surprised when the 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S debuted with no electrification...”

There was already a successor to the Lola :)

I’m aware of the gap. I think it’s hilarious to suggest doubling it would not cause problems. 

They already have to turn away GTE entrants as it is. GT3 is not sanctioned by the ACO.

Lol even in this scenario why would you scrap LMP2? Prototypes are the essence of Le Mans

“It didn’t matter that IMSA is a series full of gentleman drivers who compete because they have the money more than the merit...”

“..it’s next to impossible to reconcile the sheer waste of a single team transporting a whole entire building to and from a meager nine races a year.”

The GT3 R Hybrid used a KERS flywheel system. No batteries.

This is a twist you didn’t discuss in your article, but LMP1 is being grandfathered until at least Le Mans 2021 so the Ginetta and Rebellion will need to be slowed even more severely than the P2's.

Also, several exceptions were since made after that point in time via hybrid powertrains, which by that strict line would be defacto banned.

The simple explanation is cost. This is a reduced cost formula, the knock-on effect is reduced lap times. With that said, the ACO and FIA set a target for LMP1 Hybrid and it was eclipsed by nearly 10 seconds by year 2.

This is from the current rule book, but some variation of this has been included in every LMP1 regulation.

The 960. I don’t think there’s a spot in the market any longer considering how expensive the GT2 RS is, but it would be fun to see a McLaren Ferrari rival from Porsche.

I’m not sure Magnesium fell out of favor with, but F1 wheels are required to be made of either AZ270 or AZ80 which are Magnesium alloys which contain calcium to drastically raise the ignition temperature. Teams have even added dimples to the inner barrels to increase surface area in an effort to get the wheel to hold…

It was never competitive

“BMW dropped the ball far more in technology than in styling when it comes to electrification.”

lOlWuT?
