Meanwhile, BMW decided to not even show up with their flying refrigerator known as the M6 GTLM. Probably wise.

Hmm. Still makes no sense to me but, admittedly, I’m far from an expert on tires.

I think a similar type of qualifying style was done last year by the Corvettes as well. Yes, they were down a car. But you don’t win 8 times since 1999 by gunning all out for pole every time at Le Mans

Additionally it was a Mk II that won LeMans first, it took until the third attempt and an evolution. Which is not to discredit their achievement in any way, just reciting history.

You realize it took the original GT 2 or 3 failed attempts before it finally hit its win steak, right?

How did the Tyrrell P34 not make this list?

Do you know how a turbo works? Anything combustible in the exhaust path would get burned up very very quickly. Now you could mechanically jam the waste gate actuator closed to produce more boost.
