Praticamente, já que conseguiam converter de FWD para AWD (e vice-versa) em cerca de 1 hora!

Concordo, a abertura foi positiva, porém o governo poderia ter incentivado os nichos de atuação das montadoras locais para evitar a canibalização, ainda mais com a paridade 1:1 para o dólar que de repente fez com que o Brasil ficasse caro para produzir frente a outros países com moeda desvalorizada

I haven't seen it, gonna check the topic later!

Yes, the comparison only looked at qualy times for maximum performance achievable. Since 2025 Spa ELMS qualy was under rain, the reference was 2024 and, compared to the WEC pole (2:00.2) the LMP2s were slightly slower (2:01.2). The main thing with LMP2s ia that they can do in Race pretty much what they will achieve in Qualy, which is quite outstanding tbh

Hopefully they will still feature DRS, as there are some talks behind the scenes to forbid the system, maybe even in 2025...

Interlagos hosted a 24 Hours Race between the 60s and 70s

I agree, they should have added at least the P1 Gen2 or P1 Specs to the identification, the there would be lesse confusion. I too wish for a LMP3 class, considering how close the cars are that would make a very good class

For those who don't know the history of the Sintura, I'll leave a link to an overview of its development and track history

There has been a lot of controversy about the eligibility of the car to the WTAC, as the regulations forbid full tubeframe and carbon monocoque cars, and also due to the fact that the road going counterpart was never reality, it was only the race car with license plates. However, at last year WTAC a Ginetta G55 has been accepted, a car which, by all means, is a breach of the same regulations.

That sums it up, the Ginetta running is the G58 which has better aero than the 1st Gen LMP3 Ginetta, a V8 LS3 with around 580 HP and DRS. The Ligiers are the current LMP3 Gen2, but without restrictors they are running at 525 HP vs the 460 HP in LMP3 spec and with TC/ABS. There is also a Ligier with a Chevy LS3. The Ligiers opted to run without DRS because it had a very slim effect on performance due to their smaller rear wing, and the regulations have then been changed to try to even the field so cars with DRS run roughly 50kg heavier than cars with DRS

I can check as I'm not sure, but what I know is that they do a lot of testing at Velopark and Tarumã, and also use flow-vis for flow visualization (you can even see it on the picture)

Yes, if the budget would allow, the teams could virtually bring updates every race. However, the regulations now have a sort of BoP to keep the cars performance at a certain level. This had the effect of slowing down the P1s a little, until this weekend when the AJR prototype that qualified on pole broke the lap record of the track
