The 905 really looks like it was from a different era of Prototypes compared to the other Group C cars... beautiful... chefs kiss

rustic helm
#

The OG 905 is my fave by farrr

#

But my fave 3.5 Gr.C is probably the TS010 without Wheel covers

OH YES

#

I mean, LOOK AT IT!

#

The Lola too

lean hatch
#

Especiallly with its Judd V10

#

This Lola T92/10 was developed by Lola Cars in 1992 as a customer car that could be raced by anyone who wanted to compete in Group C. Besides its sleek looks, this car knows how to produce a good amount of noise as well. I myself could not believe how gorgeous this car sounded and when it accelerated next to a Sauber C11, the sound of that Merce...

Wdym triple?

XJR14, MXR-01 and then the WSC-95

rustic helm

Yeah that's... Double

lean hatch
#

What was the WSC-95 derived from?

rustic helm
#

The XJR-14 isn't derived from anything

lean hatch
#

Did the WSC-95 share the same frame or chassis with the XJR-14 or something?

#

I'm confused.

main cedar
#

it used the same chassis yes

rustic helm
#

It's an cockpit XJR-14 with less aero and an F6

main cedar

you mean cockpitless

rustic helm

Xjr 14 is one of Ross Brawn's masterpieces

cause cockpit makes even less sense

I can see some similarities between the two

rustic helm
#

Bro I want someone to make a bunch of V12's with diff angles and exhaust geometries

#

Just to see which one sounds best...

#

180°V12's are up there considering the C291

#

I'm surprised 180°V's weren't more popular after the tunnel bans

lean hatch
#

You want to make V12's? I want to make different kinds of V6's.

#

maybe a 180 degree V6 would sound nice

#

or maybe a 65 degree V6 too

rustic helm
#

... 180°V6? Would that not sound alot like Porsche or would it sound different coz of the Flat vs. Boxer layouts?

lean hatch
#

Maybe it would sound different...?

rustic helm
#

I would assume so, but idk... By how much

#

I mean heck even the Porsche Boxers sound wildly different just on exhaust

#

But the only V engines that I know were particularly wide for a LMP's were the Diesels

#

Pr something nutty like a 120°V8

lean hatch
#

Didn't Audi use an 80 degree V6

rustic helm
#

In what?

lean hatch

the R18

Real GTP hours

rustic helm

It looks alot better than the very... Square Mk.3

Even if the Mk.3 was a Downforce Monster like other ones of the time

glacial arch
#

Also, the simple three-color design makes it even more attractive.

rustic helm
#

They also put that on the Celica which is big pog

#

As well as like... Their Baja trucc

#

Looks more like a real prototype than the GR-010.

main cedar
#

the GR-010 is not a r e a l ™️ prototype because

#

ACO made LMP1 but slightly different ™️ regs

#

they got a car thats LMP1 but slightly different

lean hatch
main cedar
#

again

#

not Toyotas fault ACO made the regs the way they did

rustic helm
#

It's such a peedly ruleset it's probably what they deserved

main cedar
#

im just glad we didnt get true GT1 regs

#

cause that didnt end well last time

rustic helm
#

Why not?

main cedar
#

other than Merc getting Grade A preferential treatment

#

it died in 2 years plus an LM

lean hatch
#

Never knew the Mercs got FIA/ACO bias

main cedar
#

they did

#

the whole homologation can happen till the 31th of December happened because merc was short on time

rustic helm
#

The Mercs got FIA bias because they basically built a bespoke Race V12 for their car afaik

#

Oh yeah guys? Ignore how Porsche again made the 911 GT1 another 962 Based silhouette and that

main cedar
#

well no

#

the preferential treatment mainly because the whole FIA GT Happened because of them

#

merc racing head called Ecclestone "got budget for 97 ITC car but ITC ded, what do ?"

#

and Ecclestone went "let me call Ratel"

#

most of the sponsors came from ITC too

#

as well the whole Helsinki race

#

also Porsche played "Fair" by the rules

#

not their fault it was the definition of vague

rustic helm
#

I fail to see how this is preferential treatment

main cedar
#

🛌

#

go back to drooling over V10s

lean hatch
rustic helm
#

Well that was the only thing I knew about it

#

McLaren had their slightly destroked BMW S70/2, Porsche had their Typ-935/962 evolution

main cedar
#

also if Merc didnt get preferential treatment

#

explain why the Mugello shitshow happened then

rustic helm
#

I don't know about it

main cedar
#

Leading Merc driver in the standings retired

#

and the FIA suddenly went "yea he can just drive switch cars midrace dw"

rustic helm
#

The only thing I knew about was Mercedes being able to produse their own LS600/GT112 6L V12 when the production car had 6.9/7.3 M297's

main cedar
#

then they also suddenly game ended that rule when BMW rightfully went "come the fuck on guys"

rustic helm
#

Wait so... You're blaming the category, for the FIA's decision of handling it?

#

Something that has always been abysmal?

I can't hide the fact that this special Porsche 930 Turbo is one of my favorite cars of the 2019 Goodwood Festival of Speed without a doubt.

rustic helm

Then again I'm not huge on the 956/962

steel geyser
#

really?

#

why?

rustic helm
#

I think some of the bodykit changes for the 962 from the 956 Ironed some stuff out

#

But kinda like how the... Y'know the Front end is just really stubby

lean hatch
#

Eh.... I don't think its THAT stubby

rustic helm
#

And the headlight progression to the wheelarch is just kinda like how I see modern F1 cars where it doesn't smoothly transition, it's almost like a shovel

#

I get that that's the point but like...

#

The latter ones are definitely more preferred for me

lean hatch
#

I agree that the 1990 962C is the best looking

rustic helm

The Gunnar-966's pull the front off alot better too

It's not like a blunt pencil

Isn't that the Kremer K8?

yes it is

THAT

That front end looks really nice

#

In a way it looks cheery, like the eyes are a bit more uplifted

lean hatch

#

And also to feed Crysis I guess, yes I am not really passionate about the Typ.935 and it's evolutions because other than ooooh Turbo noise it doesn't offer alot

For comparison like a Buick Indy V6 sound's NASTY in comparison, or just... Idk

I was not expecting that kinda noise to come out of that... Disproportionate Carboard box

Also that Turbo whislte is obnoxiously loud

Just... Capping this off, the front end of the 966 has the same shovel like headlights, but it compromises with the middle section being more developed and having a second bit to it

In 1971 Ferrari decided to go Can-Am racing, as Porsche, McLaren and Lola had already done. They took the Group 5 512M and modified it, enlarging the V12 engine to seven litres and removing the roof, to create the 670hp 712. It was not a success, which means that only one was ever made, but it remains incredible and at the Festival of Speed pres...

This is when they'd use displacement then cylinder count as the nane

So 312 was their 3L 180°V12
The 512 was their 5L V12
The 712 was their 7L V12

They rounded up a tad

Oh, that makes more sense now.

After boycotting sports car racing in 1968 to protest a rule change that banned their 4-litre 330 P4, Ferrari built a 3000cc prototype in 1969, the 312 P, in order to race under the Group 6 rules (where engines were restricted to three litre). For sure one of the most beautiful sport prototype ever made, it could possibly be one of the best soun...

Or is there like a source data that has all the info up to what ever res you want?

main cedar
#

it can do 2x upscaling

#

theres also noise reduction but I barely use it

rustic helm
#

Oooooh it's an AI upscaler...

main cedar
#

yes

main cedar
#

I'd turn noise reduction off unless the image really needs it

#

gives it an unnatural look

rustic helm
#

Coz it's designed for Anime too it makes it slightly like adding the watercolour effect, like you put one of the Anti-Aliasing filters on a Gameboy Advance emu

#

I kinda like it

AYO this is mad pog, thank you

IMSA? Wow.

Never would imagine Renault taking on IMSA with a 5 turbo of all things

worthy flicker
#

pretty sure it wasn’t that good of a car

#

claimed a life as well

#

but stil p cool

#

i think the death that happened in this car is what lead to the HANS device being invented actually

#

"Then in about 1981, Jim Downing, who is my wife's brother, had a friend of his, Patrick Jacquemart, go off the track at Mid-Ohio and run into an embankment with the front of his car. His torso was restrained, but, his head was unrestrained and he had a fracture of the base of his skull or the basilar skull fracture. Jim knew how Patrick was injured and he asked me what could be done about that. I had this background in head injury and injury assessment and had pit crewed for Jim having been interested in racing for some years and I came up with the idea of the HANS Device to restrain the head relative to the torso in a way that wouldn't add injurious loads to the neck. My thinking was if I could keep the head on the shoulders then it wouldn't stretch the neck, a pretty simple concept. I also thought of other ideas with straps, and so on, and didn't pursue those because I didn't think they would be as effective as the HANS."

Oh wait it is

the clr weighed 900 kgs

clk gtr weighed 1001 kgs

clk debuted in 97 iirc

the clr debuted and ended in 99

#

merc never used the clr after the flips

#

yea

rustic helm
wary walrus
#

wait can comeone explain whats the difference between the clk gtr and clk lm

ashen perch
#

The 787b remains the most unique car to win the lemans :prayge:

wary walrus
#

did the lm debut in 98?

#

ok good

#

i see

ashen perch
#

For good measure

#

It won cos it didn't break down

#

Most of the people who worship the 787b don't even know that

#

That's why it's overrated

#

But

#

The sound of it

#

😩 😩 😩

#

That sound

#

Merc returning to prototypes would be quite epic btw

Shame it probably won't happen

wary walrus
#

bruh this is funny lmfao

ashen perch
#

Merc dominating the lemans too? Great idea

rustic helm
#

I don't think it should be considered massively overrated for just remaining humble but I do get that the 787🅱️ is overhyped

vast quartz
#

When did I say domination

wary walrus
#

wait why do people think the 787b is overrated ros

#

and audi's

vast quartz
#

Porsche, Audi, Toyota, Mercedes, Ferrari, Peugeot and others duking it out at Le Mans would be awesome

rustic helm
#

Because it was downtuned to 550 or so hp in Le Mans when the rest somehow died reliability wise

vast quartz
#

And outside of the Merc part we are getting it which is yay

wary walrus
rustic helm
#

Wait so... They kept reliable coz they kept their 830kg weight?

#

While making me happy

#

Why?

#

What physics does that explain tho

#

Alright so it is

#

Coz alot of the time the weight increase thing is to make things ztronger

#

They raised the minimum weight of the cars

#

I didn't think they just made the cars fake on like 120kg of lump

wary walrus
#

the lighter the car the better

lethal scaffold
#

kk

rustic helm
lean hatch
rustic helm
#

I know

#

But I've yet for someone to call it the best car ever

#

The only topic I've seen is people talking about how it's overrated by a bunch of people who in my experience don't exist

#

Also damn it makes some torque...

lean hatch
rustic helm
#

Albeit less than the XJR-12 or the 962 TS

#

Also it depends why they think it's the best

#

It's the best underdog that's for sure

lean hatch
#

Eh, I still go strong with the belief that people rate it so highly because of the sound

rustic helm
#

Well can you not... Like is that not allowed?

#

As long as people get that sound doesn't make a good car

lean hatch
rustic helm
#

No, plus I've only found one sound byte of it at full send

#

It does look gorgeous despite going against what I'd find gorgeous

#

It was also behind in Aero...

lean hatch
#

Hmm... while we are on the subject of Sauber, Not a lot of people talk about the C8

The Sauber C8 was the first prototype of the Swiss company built in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz and introduced in 1985 for the 24h Le Mans race. For 1986 two more chassis were built and raced for a full season of the World Sportscar Championship under the Kouros Racing Team name. It was able to achieve a victory with drivers Henri Pescarol...

Is it coz they wanted to put the cost in the new ones?
