A couple pics to follow...

There are regs on the use of carbon fibre tubs... read again.

Nothing going on with those flying butresses at all...

Yeh. I like the creativity used and absolute genius ingenuity that results from exploiting rules for all they’re worth. It’s just not where I appreciate value. There’s something to be said on wanting to compete against the best at their best on equal ground. Roll up your sleeves. Go at it for all it’s worth. Hate each

Yes. I’m not knocking the GT, I think it’s a fantastic design, just not a true representation of Ford’s prowess for competing. It’s foundation from the ground-up was to win LeMans, the others however were designed with constraints. The cars are relegated to have the same aspect ratios / sight lines / geometry as their

Sorry Sir. I’m not going to get into a debate here... but yes I’m well versed in what both cars are, the DP and GT, and how they function and what the similarities are. In an era of Engine restrictions aero and cooling win races - fact. Read the GTE class rules and see what restrictions are placed based on production

Yeh. I don’t disagree with your point / interpretation at all, completely valid. My heart is just on the other side of it. I’m a purist about sport and competition, that’s just how I am. For whatever reason, and it’s as much a curse as a blessing, I’m just like that in life. To truly understand things and give them

Yawn... didn’t see this happening.

If this was the X Games he would’a won. Glad he’s ok.

I Love the hard work and disciplined execution that goes into winning. Not always the fastest, not always the best.... although that helps. Simply staying focused, being disciplined and executing / pushing consistently lap after lap, minute after minute, hour after hour, often times gets you there. That’s as much

I don’t see it as an “attack” on aluminium. The application of aluminium can be optimized many ways. Just looking at the gage of aluminium from the vid, assuming it’s not altered, and knowing the properties of aluminium... there’s no way Ford’s application holds up. If Chevy utilizes Aluminum in future platforms with

Bias commentary or not Keslowski’s team broke the rules. He needs to worry about what’s within his control then it won’t matter what bias opinion comes along... does anybody think they are responsible for their actions anymore?

What next? Purposely drilling holes in tyres in an attempt to circumvent pressure regulations... oops already been done

Agreed. Maybe one clockwise and one anticlockwise? No changes to cars between the races. That would be interesting.

Cars were awsome. The people who own them should just do a free show in the Parking Lot of a Piggly Wiggly somewhere... allowing anyone who knows what Jalopnik is to do free burn outs in them. That my friends would break down car culture barriers and possibly bring about world peace.

Thanks for posting. That was fantastic!

If a watch is so expensive I’d have to embezzle to afford it... can’t do it. It’s just not worth the time.

Do they keep time any better than a $10 timex?

Impressive. To those that say it’s not a Supercar. Why? Specific output and of the engine? Nope. That can’t be it. Power train lay out? Nope that can’t be it. Chasis and chasis packaging / geometry? Nope that can’t be it. Aerodynamics? Nope. That can’t be it. The fact that the engine was sized to stay under “300 hp”
