I think Renato mentioned some time ago there is some small BoP applied to classes where the performance differences are too big to be able to have...
You are mistaking publizicing a decision with making a decision. And the decision was made much sooner obviously. They were 0.013 seconds away...
Excuse is the right word, like I said it was clear that the FIA would allow works teams in their GT1 World Championship for 1997. Also doubtful...
Not exactly true, in 1996 when Porsche entered the car it was already clear that works teams would be allowed for the 1997 season under the new...
Those times were without restrictors though, with about 750hp. That was the problem, they would have had to create an Evo version of a race car...
The Ferrari was never going to be competitive against the Mercedes CLK GTR or probably the 1997 Porsche GT1 (even with the extremely unfavourable...
The V12 ran the full 1997 season, all races with the semi-works team in 1998 plus 2 races for the works team in 1998, the V8 was used at Le Mans...
Yeah, the 1997 cars, possibly in a seperate class would be really nice and help with the completely outclassed McLaren vs the '98 cars a bit as well.
Will wear be looked at on a car-to-car basis or for a class as a whole? Some cars in a class have different tire manufacturers with very different...

Ok, I will be the guy this time then: It wasn't the GT1 Mercedes CLK LM that flipped, it was the Mercedes CLR a year later :p
It is not about the speedlimit set by rules but about the managing of the Hybrid for maximum time gained across a lap. You gain the most time the...
"Until 1990 the straight remained unchanged, but new speed limitations imposed the addition of two chicanes, currently known as Forza and...
These are topspeed values for Le Mans 1998 from the official Le Mans yearbook, Qualifying and Race taken before the right hand before...
Renato specifically mentioned that they have (part of) the newer physics:
Since we are on the topic of top speed, did you guys review the GT1s top speeds? We had a small discussion and did a bit of testing here:...
Here is what Renato said in the Devupdate:
Wasn't it mentioned that cars released after 1.4 are already under the 1.5 physics? That would include the Nissan then.
Actually, more than half the posts were about the F-Junior and F-Inter so far :D
It is not complicated at all really, the Delta Wing belongs 100% to Panoz. Nissan just provided the engine and sponsored it and afterwards poached...
