This was his plan:

It’s like an electric Starlet!

7/1/19

Racing technology filtering down?

6/29/19

damn, 55s?

Same reason why Superman isn’t in the Avengers movies.

I’ve read similar studies and while it’s true more people will fit, it will take more time to move if everyone stands still. In a busy area the line will take longer to get on.

More manufacturer involvement is great, but were they all in the run for the win? The safe bet in the Group C era was Porsche.

Even when the Super Sport concept was unveiled last year they showed it has a chassis and drive train so it’s no surprise it’s getting some track action.

I’ve read that the rules state 20 cars minimum to be built. Not sure if that’s 20 race cars or not.

Not a dad car, but a dad commercial:

I wouldn’t be too surprised if this new “Hypercar” competitor is based heavily on the existing LMP1 car, as Toyota has been developing that technology for quite a few seasons.

6/14/19

It does. Over the last couple of years Toyota has developed batteries that can last longer and run at higher temperatures.

6/9/19

The cars are incredibly fast, and the drivers really know what they are doing, but the regulations prevent this privateer team from competing directly with the Toyota TS050.

Ford has plenty of exposure and history in racing outside the US, especially the UK in rally and road course racing. Don’t forget they got other models that weren’t sold in the US like the mk1 Escort, and the Capri was essentially the Mustang for Europe. They also got a few versions of the Focus RS before it came to…

6/3/19

Agreed. I especially like the story of the Cobra Daytona coupe. While Peter Brock was designing it, everyone at Shelby American called it “Pete’s Folly.” Ken Miles didn’t believe the top speed it achieved after track testing and actually went as far as to count the teeth on the final drive to be sure a taller gear…

A great movie for race fans, purgatorial for everyone else.

6/3/19

Is Le Mans ‘66 the overseas title?

5/30/19

Perhaps a superhero named Captain America traveling on a flying aircraft carrier has a negative connotation in Japan?

The ACO would have to downgrade the LMP2 engines first.
