Someone help me out here. (Truenorth) So we got all these LMH / LMDH cars that are going to run in WEC / IMSA starting this year and going into next year. In WEC for the last 4-5 years the Toyota's have ran the field. As they mentioned in the clip I posted above, are the Toyota's still gonna race? And then there's this. With all these new cars, how long do they stay in if they don't win. Lets say Ferrari. A new car and the first time the factory put a team on the grid since what, 1968. If they finish off the podium for 2-3 years do Ferrari drop the effort or do their F1 trick of firing the managers and start over.

I'm pretty sure that Toyota does not intend to leave and I suspect they might well continue to win. What of Ferrari? I have chosen to be Tifosi despite recent performance, recent being since Schuey days. Can the new car win WEC? I'm going to plead kimi's amendment and say "wewillsee". I could add "Ihopeso". The Scuderia is never short of excuses. |

What happened to Ferrari?
(Sorry: I've been having trouble going to sleep lately, didn't go to bed until 4 am. Missed the start.)

Friday was the 1000K WEC race where the LMH cars could run. Saturday was the 12 hour IMSA race. Different cars at the pointy end. |

I didn't get that either until after the fact. Why the fuck does that happen? I completely wasted my time watching the 12 hours of Sebring, and this race is completely useless, only accounting for IMSA. I need to find a source to watch WEC events (along with WSBK and MotoGP.) NBC and its satellites sucks balls, especially with Diffey on point. |

In the past few years some of the WEC races were live on you tube. Prolly if ya paid the FIA ya could see the WEC live. But I never checked that out.

ANALYSIS: How IMSA GTP cars race differently than DPiWith 36 hours of competition in the books, drivers are getting a pretty good handle on the new Grand Touring Prototype (GTP) cars in the top class of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. As the series heads into a couple of sprint races before the Le Mans break, everyone is gathering a pretty good picture of how the cars perform. Performance all alone, though, is one thing; how the cars actually race each other is quite another. “I feel it’s hard to overtake,” says Renger van der Zande, driver of the No. 01 Cadillac Racing V-Series.R from Chip Ganassi Racing. “The speeds are higher but we have to brake a bit earlier and the weight is higher as well. The minimum speed [in the corner] is quite a lot lower so you cannot really rely on, ‘Let’s break super late and dive bomb someone.’ I think if you dive bomb someone you’re going straight — you’re going to miss the corner. I think with the DPi you could actually overtake someone on track because you had a bit more downforce, you had a bit more minimum speed and grip to get away with a mistake. With these cars, it seems like if you try to outbrake, you actually are going outbrake yourself and going off the track, so you have to be a bit more careful.” Adds van der Zande’s teammate, Sebastien Bourdais: “I think it’s a little bit harder to follow really closely. These cars just seem to rely a lot on the little downforce that they have, which which kind of surprised me a bit. But we still have seen some passes and some good shows.” racer.com/2023/04/06/analysis-how-imsa-gtp-cars-race-differently-than-dpi/?utm_source=RACER+%2F%2F+Newsletter&utm_campaign=243bbc9d24-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2023_04_06_06_33&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-243bbc9d24-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D
