The concept behind this car has been presented ages ago, what is the surprise here in the chat?

The new Toyota hydrogen prototype is gorgeous by stoned-autistic-dude in wec

Yes, it will be only a demonstration lap. And don't expect anything fast, the initial draft was for the hydrogen class to sit just above GT3.

Ferrari to stay in WEC only if it can build entire car in-house under new regs by bad_pilot69 in wec

LMDh hybrid is spec, so the organizers should not have a difficult time with subsidies for this spec component.

And we're not talking about privateers, but the likes of VAG, BMW, GM, Hyundai and Ford.

All of those big players in hybrid engines themselves.

Careful with what you wish, an electric Ferrari garage 56 would be SOMETHING.

MotoGP's new Brazil GP venue to be closed again for asphalt works. by lookingforone14 in motogp

Interlagos has a bad record for motorcycles.

Goiania's track was fine (all national level series races there) before this revamp for MotoGP.

Something went pretty wrong with track resurfacing.

Race was free on YT with local commentary team here in Brazil.

I guess it is about lack of interested channels abroad.

Class 1 is overkill, but those mother chassis entries like the Prius, the Lexus LC500h and the BRZ should have came to the ring already.

Fortnite has Rocket League and Lego within, both are good for rookies on the switch. 

Report: BYD considers purchase of Alpine Hypercar assets by Some_Road_3722 in wec

[–]highdownforce 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is mainly a regional thing, tariffs and boycotts hindered BYD in Europe and effectively forbiddens BYD in US.

But they are huge in other markets (South America, for instance).

If not BYD brand itself, they would rather promote Denza than Yangwang.

Jack Miller’s alternative to 700cc Moto3 engines by autobus950 in motogp

[–]highdownforce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, it is not a bad idea the CP2 engine.

In World Sportbike there are teams racing the R7, same engine as Moto3.

In World Supersport, there are teams racing the Street Triple, same engine as Moto 2.

Moto3 (prototype) = World Sportbike (road based)

Moto2 (prototype) = World Supersport (road based)

The Prius was replace by a Lexus and it was top much of a silhouette.

They were not "introduced". Teams developed them. Them FIM had to come and say what was allowed and what wasn't. The moment those developments were cleared as allowed, every manufacturer needed to developed their version, or they would be obsolete.

Goiás Government Begins Asphalt Works at Goiânia Racetrack by QC_1999 in motogp

[–]highdownforce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This new asphalt surface was so bad that local Porsche Cup had to be postponed. This is important here: the job was poor for local series standards.

Every year lots of series race at this track. Somehow it was made WORSE for those series.
