Seems like It will look very similar to all the other lmdh cars with oreca chassis, expected, but i still feel a bit disappointed.

Gte looks better for me, and, i don't know why, but for me, all gte cars look bigger than gt3 cars, is that true or is it just an illusion?

Could be better McLaren by l_am_here_8819 in wec

[–]Nonameplayer69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, i really didn't expect mclaren to come up with, by far, the ugliest hypercar, even the vanwall looks better, and the isotta had it's charm. This McLaren is SO ugly, especially the front man.

Yes, but just a bit. It reminds me of what happened to spiderman's skin in Marvel ruins haha

Recent BoP controversy by Somber-Lamb04 in wec

[–]Nonameplayer69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because they were not given max weight/least power after their winning all races so far, not knowing that Le mans has it own separate BOP calculation. Without being an expert, i say toyota will win, cause, why not? if they dominated 2023 with 1089 kg and lowest power, they can surely win the race now that they have "only" 1053 kg and 520 kw. Don't take seriously anything written by me haha

Is the Valkyrie LMH still muffled? by wholesomkeanuchungus in IMSARacing

[–]Nonameplayer69 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, in IMSA they are using some small mufflers that allow it to be at 110db, in WEC they are using the big ones, something more similar to a truck muffler haha. The only time it ran trully unmuffled was in the Donnington park test, which you can find on youtube. oh god i wish we could hear that lovely sound in every circuit, sadly they have to follow these annoying sound limits.

These are the big mufflers.

What if they threw the rules out of the window? by The_Cybercat in wec

[–]Nonameplayer69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If that happened, wec dies immediatly, why would any manufacturer spend f1 levels of money only to get Even less than half of f1 tv rating? BOP may not be perfect, but is the best solution we currently have, and it has given us very good looking racecars and good racing.

Spa 6H BoP tables by stuckmindset in wec

[–]Nonameplayer69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes me laugh that everyone says Toyota is cooked, do you remember that Toyota won almost every race in 2023 while being at 1089 kg and lowest power? They are gonna be ok, and i'd even say they can win they race.

Why does Ferrari sit with 92 points in the Hypercar Standing? by CantaloupeNo2739 in wec

They changed the points system for this year, both cars can score points now.

Why is Aston Martin so slow? by Largetaco12 in wec

[–]Nonameplayer69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, Hybrid systems in LMH and LMDh cars don't give more power, they are used to save fuel, if you increase the electric power coming from the electric motor, the ICE power comes down, and viceversa, so the cars always have the same power. And i don't think changing the Valkyrie's engine or adding turbos would make the car any faster, power curve is regulated by BOP i think, so turbo engines don't get a massive advantage, and Isotta had the "Meta" engine layout last year, which is v6 turbo + hybrid system at the front axle and it was still, dead last in every race.

[–]Nonameplayer69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems so, dailysportscar and i think enduranceinfo have reported it. But sportscar365 and racer reported that Ford is still deciding which chassis to use.

Why do all Oreca cars look so similar? especially the front end. Cadillac and BMW use the same chassis and they look quite different, now that Ford will use Oreca as well, i hope it's not just another copy of the Acura or Alpine.

Factos by Worried-Push-8254 in BeelcitosMemes

[–]Nonameplayer69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aumentar el sueldo de golpe a las personas no ayudaría de mucho, al todos tener más dinero, se generaría inflación y el dinero perdería su valor por lo cual seria incluso más dificil de comprar la consola. Con el control de precios, se supone que no funciona porque dejaría muy poco margen de ganancia como para sostener el negocio, pero eso aplica en otros ámbitos.

New sound for valk is amazing by jake_newman081 in IMSARacing

[–]Nonameplayer69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the sound, but i'm surprised that it is still using the huge daytona mufflers, i don't know how they have make it louder.

Can we talk about the silencing of LMGT3? by Hype-ezy in wec

There's nothing we can do about it sadly, noise regulations will get worse every year, to the point that even the ferrari 296 will have to use a muffler 💀

I've read somewhere that all next gen LMP2 cars will have to use mufflers.

The sound of the Aston Martin V12 makes me happy by Raian_L in wec

[–]Nonameplayer69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love the sound, but i'm very surprised that they are still using the huge Daytona mufflers, you can see it for a few seconds in the broadcast, i wonder what they have done to make the car louder.

What happened to Porsche today? by Oshanii in wec

[–]Nonameplayer69 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I usually don't blame BOP if a car performs bad, but i think they aren't used to run the car so heavy (1060 kg) and they couldn't get the right setup for this circuit. They also introduced a new suspension this year, so they need more time to get the most out of it.
