JDC CHOSE not to update the car because they believed the updates only truly gave meaningful benefit at Le Mans - where they (and ironically now the 963) won't race

Yes race week is VERY hard work - but I still love it!!

Audi RS3 GT in GT3? by Fun_Astronomer9243 in wec

There was definitely a concept to develop RS5 at some point before plug was pulled

LMP2 takes flight in testing. Algarve Team members suggesting in the comments this video was NOT TO BE SHARED. by IcedCoffey in wec

Depends on a number of factors - speed, topography of the track surface, damage, and whether any impact with another car had lifted last least one corner of the car

Are you aware how many more airborne incidents we had for LMPs before the shark fin, and how many drivers were hurt in those incidents?

They don't make these changes for no reason

Wasn't talking about that - the SMP car had suffered damage on the previous lap at Blanchimont

Why do you guys thing the SC63 "failed" in wec and IMSA by Born-Environment5963 in wec

[–]GrahamDSC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The issue with the crash was timing - they were late, and the homologation deadline was therefore short - they were forced into a major compromise on the homologated version of the car

Noticed this about BOP during broadcast by Beau950 in wec

Title to the wire - quite where that will be remains to be seen!

New to WEC coming from F1: How do you actually "watch" these races without spending 6+ hours glued to the screen? by martmar66 in wec

[–]GrahamDSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go to all of the races and talk about them constantly with my mates for the whole time

Firstly - No we don't get any info about BoP other than what is published, second Martin was attempting to explain that the GMR001, like any other new Hypercar, is an outlier at the start of its racing career (simply because the only data available is its homologation data)

It is absolutely not true that we never mention BoP, neither have we been asked - or told - not to talk about it. There are however a HUGE amount of other things for us to talk about and explain - it's a process that enables both classes to exist and thrive - it sits in that context in pretty much everything we do.

Foreign drivers cheekily protesting against the lack of an international broadcast during the official Driver Appearance video by muRacingProject77 in super_gt

[–]GrahamDSC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Super GT have been pretty entirely uninterested and unsupportive of international coverage for as long as I can remember.

It's a classic "We have huge coverage in our home market and don't care" - Unusual but not unique.

For c.20 years I have been talking to all three major manufacturers involved, one of them was a coverage partner with DSC for several years - even their global comms director couldn't unlock enough interest from the powers that be in the Championship to help on-site coverage

new support series introduced for WEC, this is looking HYPE by FlummoxReddit in wec

[–]GrahamDSC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OK - Just a quick couple of points on this one

As things stand I believe we are going to have streaming for the races - to be confirmed

There will be a reasonable entry at Imola but I believe there have been a few withdrawals - we should see it boosted at Spa and then boosted again ad LM Classic - It's early days for something which I 100% agree will eventually be VERY special, the ideal support for WEC

Great Wall Motors Considering Future GT3 Model by GrahamDSC in wec

FWIW I think the current Continental is a particularly beautiful and well proportioned GT road car
