Lemans 24 Hours

[blackrock13]

My favorite race is this week end. It's not a sprint it's a marathon is never more true. hybrid drive, delta wings and a return of Quatro Drive.

The new profile at LeMans? Nissan. 8.5 mile a lap, with speeds nearing 200 mph from 1600cc, for 3000+ miles and the winner is?

I don't think it can keep up with the Audi to Toyota. I would have more performance it they installed a turbo diesel

It's radical, 10 cm wide front tires, front suspension akin to the Renault CV2, and 80% weight of the 1000 lb on the back. Right now it's having trouble with a solenoid switch on the gear shift paddles. As I understand, because of it being experimental, it can't win the race, but it is the toughest test any race car can face, my opinion.

Too bad Nakajima just punted the Deltawing into the wall. Somethings never change he drove like that in F1 as well. Maybe they can get it back to the garage and fix the front end.

Just imagine what Indy would be like if the PTB had accepted the design.

The Delta wing was hit by someone else into the barrier. The driver said he didn't see it on the inside.

Damn, missed the end but it was looking pretty much Audi in 1, 2, 3, and 4, yet some of the other classes were looking interesting, especially the ProAm.
