Unfortunately for you guys it doesn't seem to be one that Hyundai North America shares.

The trick is to cut the whole back end off:

Agreed on all points. I'm also looking forward to Piastri hopefully making the move up in the next couple of years, though I'm not sure what Alpine's arrangement will be for its juniors without a junior team.

I’d reply to your reply to me if I could, but Kinja being Kinja, your comment is stuck in some sort of purgatory from which it can only be seen, not interacted with.

You’re most welcome.

With both in their lightest configuration (i.e. the manual V6), I think you’re correct that the difference in weight won’t be large. The NA 2GR apparently weighs 172 kg (wet, long engine) and the M139 is quoted as 160.5 kg wet on the Daimler site. The supercharger and plumbing probably weighs another 10-15 kg (the…

Moving the more experienced Giovinazzi to Haas is a sensible option - for Haas anyway - as it should help them with development. Perhaps slightly too late for the new formula though.

I think his experience might be the only reason that Vasseur wants him to stay for next year.

No worries.

It would probably be easier to retrofit in an Elise (which is an intriguing option for a swap...).

The most recent articles I can find which mention specific overweight cars referred to the 2014 Sauber and the 2017 Force India. There were also a lot of suggestions that the Williams FW42 and FW43 (2019 and 2020) were both overweight (which is backed up by this article):

Had it been a lighter car I think the GR engine would have been very well-suited to the classical Lotus philosophy. As it stands, I hope that they’ll give the AMG their own character.

Except it only has two seats. Which is fair enough, but those vestigial seats in the Evora were kinda cool.

Slingshot? Compound bow?

Kimi can’t hang around forever, and he’s starting to make uncharacteristic errors in the last few races (and getting extra-cranky on the radio). He’s still better than Giovinazzi, but I can see him staying too much longer.

They don’t have to weigh the same, they just can’t be under the minimum weight (nor can specific components). The smaller teams typically struggle to get down to that minimum weight while the bigger teams get under the weight and can add ballast.

Supra will be racing in the IMSA Challenge series by the look of it. Sticking with the Camry in NASCAR for the moment:

They’ve apparently integrated energy-absorbing foam crash structures into the doors as well. It’s mentioned in an article from the official NASCAR site, so it’s going to present development in a positive light, but it’s likely correct in the facts:

Though if the dummy gets mangled it is unlikely to have performed nominally. It's meant to survive essentially intact.

You can go further if you want.
