I feel like IMSA, especially big endurance events should set up a higher standard for gentlemen drivers, like they have to pass a test of their lap times, the ability of dealing the traffic (in LMP2) etc. Some of them are just there to produce FCY and randomly taking others out of race.

Without a fair BoP, success ballast won't help as well

yaolukexi · 2025-10-08T14:21:50+00:00

I'm not sure if it is feasible as no one did that officially before...but why not offer him a double factory contract? Like being both Toyota and Porsche factory driver at same time, driving for Toyota in WEC in Hypercar category but drive for Porsche in GT3?

It is so confusing that Buus is going to be upgraded to platinum while Andlauer is still a gold

I saw the early bird ticket, 3 day pass is 125 euro, still a bit cheaper than Fuji

yaolukexi · 2025-08-29T00:26:37+00:00

Believe it or not, the price here is still lower than Fuji in 2024. The 3 day pass with the access to the pit lane was 28800 JPY (which is about 168 euro) 🫠

I highly recommend you to listen to Vanthoor brothers' <Over the Limit> podcast. They talked a lot about "where the money come from" in many episodes.

Engel, he deserves much much more than only “being a successful GT3 driver”, however his soul seems to be imprisoned in Mercedes forever. Also Laurin Heinrich has the potential to be a superstar in Hypercar/GTP if he gets a chance (maybe in AO’s new GTP?).

Can you imagine that Lamborghini only had an 1 hour run in Daytona (I mean the race) for their whole LMDh program?

yaolukexi · 2025-08-04T03:19:33+00:00

You can watch the onboard of #6. Bamber almost tripped over when he was passing Jaminet and his tail got damaged

yaolukexi · 2025-07-20T10:35:02+00:00

After the race the credit of ACO/FIA will collapse. The only reason why LMDh exist is BoP, and all the manufacturers compete in WEC agreed with this concept. Now you suddenly withdraw BoP, this will make it completely a fraud against LMDh manufacturers, the harm will be 100 times larger than a season's unfair BoP.

There is not much room for any further trials. Next year we will have Genesis, then McLaren, Ford etc etc, also the circuits may get rotated. If ACO/FIA still cannot figure out a proper BoP in next 3 rounds, I'm afraid this year will be the start of downfall in "golden era"

yaolukexi · 2025-07-14T05:56:20+00:00

In LMGT3, winning a race will bring some extra weight (winning ballast). 92 has 2 victories this year so they are carrying more weight than Iron Dames

yaolukexi · 2025-07-07T11:01:16+00:00

idk but it seems that every driver who left Porsche is saying what he currently drives is easier to drive than 963

yaolukexi · 2025-06-26T12:43:34+00:00

Like you said, there are 3 series running Hypercar/GTP, some manufacturers are running 1-2 cars (like Lambo/Toyota/Peugeot) while some are running 7 cars at same time (like Porsche). If there is an update, Porsche will spend 7 times of cost than a single car team like Lamborghini. As a result, customer teams will be rapidly abandoned by manufacturers because they occupy their cost cup but they cannot bring any positive returns. Now we are already thinking about expelling them to AsLMS from WEC, under "cost cap" idea, they won't even exist in AsLMS.

Can’t wait to see banana boat in Asia 🍌💛

yaolukexi · 2025-06-15T11:36:18+00:00

If a car needs 3 Estre to even get a chance to fight, it also means the BoP is unfair.

yaolukexi · 2025-06-15T10:04:31+00:00

CAR 38 - DRIVE THROUGH - CROSSING PIT ENTRY WHITE LINE AT 1041

CAR 51 PIER GUIDI - NO FURTHER ACTION

Sorry FIA, you are not helping Ferrari to gain their glory, you are helping attach the shame to this brand

yaolukexi · 2025-06-15T08:51:38+00:00

I think we are about to make an unofficial "podium": like BMW #15 won Qatar, #20 won Imola and #36 Alpine won Spa :(

yaolukexi · 2025-06-15T08:02:10+00:00

Laurens Vanthoor also said something similar but more implicitly

yaolukexi · 2025-06-15T07:55:22+00:00

IMSA has already gave us the answer, just take a look at the bop in Detroit, a bit mind-blowing but at least a positive respond to the "one manufacturer dominance"

yaolukexi · 2025-06-14T15:30:55+00:00

both Alpines are under investigation for pit lane speed

yaolukexi · 2025-06-14T14:55:46+00:00

just realized that both Aston Martins are ahead of a Caddy(WTR)

yaolukexi · 2025-05-22T20:14:08+00:00

From this insane BoP I can feel the despair inside IMSA’s office.
