What is this Cadillac DPi of which you speak?

Well, to be fair, the Falcons were powered by Mustang engines?

I love the Mazda DPi... I mean, I remember when the new Ford GT was revealed at Detroit in 2015, everybody was like, “Stop the show, we found our car of the Show!”

I recall 3 times they crashed. Once at the first race at Le Mans (punted off the course), another at that year’s Petit Le Mans where it got hit by a Porsche causing it to roll over. Finally was the deeply-penetrating rear-ending at last year’s Rolex 24 at Daytona.

Stop being a dick, good sir!

I was actually serious... Obviously the most remembered of the Mazda prototypes at Le Mans is the 1991 787B.

As I said to the other guy, the 787 is also a Boeing product, called the 787 Dreamliner.

Thanks. Although I just did a read-up with an article from Motorsport.com dated this past June, the ACO was not interested in creating a Balance of Performance ruleset to even out the ACO P2s and the American DPi P2s. Their alternative at this point is to funnel the DPis into the privateer LMP1 class.

However, there…

To be fair, the 787 is also a Boeing :p

To be honest, I’m not sure.

Works teams, I think, tend to lean towards higher-profile racing classes, which would explain the Works participation in the GT-LeMans class of IMSA, which is basically GTE-Pro at Le Mans, which was formerly known as GT2, and obviously, GT2 is a higher class than GT3.

That’s just my guess…

All LMP cars and Prototype class cars are basically closed-wheel F1 cars with extended bodywork to accommodate the new fenders and also a closed cockput.

So in some ways, LMP1 could theoretically be a better option than F1 due to the higher cost of F1 versus LMP1, but realistically, the cost difference is slight.

The 767B is a Boeing, not a Mazda. :)

It may be possible to convert the car to LMP1 specs, but that would mean additional R&D to develop a hybrid powertrain as required by WEC rules, which adds more weight and would require a bigger engine cover to acommodate the hybrid system AND engine. Not only that, but the engine cover would have to be completely…

Boring! I found the new Mazda RT24-P DPi car to be more interesting than “OMG, I found the Mid-Engine Porsche’s Tranny Box! AND I fondled it!”

Right. But regardless of his true speed, whether 208mph or 129mph, he was eluding police, which is a felony and was just gonna make things worse for him in the long run...

“It’s gonna be forever... or it’s gonna go down in flames
When it’s over, tell me if the high was worth the pain”

Radar guns shoot a specific wavelength of electromagnetic energy. This specific wavelength changes a tiny bit when reflected back by cars, and this difference in wavelength is used in calculating the speed of the car.

I think that radar guns can be set to display kph OR mph (much like cars’ odometers and speedos can…

My prius goes 104mph... just saying... and yes, I confirmed with GPS data.

Me? I think the cops’ radar guns needed recalibration...

His standard motorsports safety equipment, combined with the detachable cab. Normal race-cars don’t have detachable cabs, so if you rear-end one at a really high-speed, they’re trapped in the entire car. Not so in a truck like this, where the truck’s cab can be knocked out of the way.

Think of it like those drag boat…

I don’t see the “Tyler Perry as Madea” option. Just Jane, Amy, Nathan, Randy, Boy Band, and Clarkson Hammon & May...
