Supposedly Ford would have helped a few “Privateer” GT for 2020 possibilities, but it was probably too expensive and not worth the effort moving forward without true Ford involvement. I am surprised...

Porche isn’t completely new and coming into this year already has development from WEC races. Corvette is completely new and no races behind it till now.

yes LOL! It coincidently happened on the 50th anniversary and with a car not yet homologated. Seems to be the “in thing” in the last decade to rewrite/revisit Hx and records.

its “free” in that you are in part using wasted heat to drive them. The thing with flat plane is the even pulsing on each bank of cylinders. That in NA form is great for exhaust/intake tuning,...

keep in mind they were punted off track last night and pitted, did that happen to BMW or either Porche? That’s a good chunk of time, but realistically they were not quite on pace. I wonder with...

same, but that was because they kept talking Porche up with all these advantages that were erroneous... Ferrari was garbage, should have let them alone on BoP

pretty sure they also said it’s tires were better later into the stint. I don’t put much stock in qualifying times as a gauge on performance especially for such a long race.
