Agreed. Get that frickin Ford GT out of the GTE Class, it doesn’t belong. It should be an LMP2 But I belive that’s not a class anymore...

Yeh. If you want ingenuity go to lmp2, which doesn’t exist anymore... that’s where the Ford GT belongs - Not in a class with GTE cars. They have classes for a reason. I still anticipate the GT will still be plenty faster than the rest... it was designed from the ground up, with very little constraints, for the purpose…

Oddly the 488 GTB is mid engine... it looks nothing like a Daytona Prototype. It still has a shape based on constraints from mass production and daily use not strictly an aero shape for racing purposes. You should read about how they make the body panels for the GT, even the road version, and how the shape led to…

Good article. You should find what you need here - straight from a Ford Q&A:

Now Chevy...

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?
