Toyota rules out all-new Hypercar for 2023 WEC season

Toyota rules out all-new Hypercar for 2023 WEC season

The Japanese manufacturer has revealed that it will push on into the 2023 season when Ferrari, Porsche and Cadillac enter the Hypercar class of the WEC with a further update of the GR010 Hybrid introduced at the start of the 2021.
The confirmation comes after speculation earlier this year that Toyota had a new LMH on the drawing board and was evaluating bringing it on stream as early as next ...Keep reading

The WEC website has nothing about it

[buoyant shale]

thats literally Hypercar

Hypercar simply continues the concept of custom Le Mans Prototype cars

But differrent regs

[lethal parcel]

I love the design of the Vanwall car

[west notch]

hypercar is slower than lmp1 tho

[buoyant shale]

For a reason

[west notch]

I know why it's slower

I'm not asking why is it slower

nvm the question

[lucid lion]

Hypercars are a failure

Lmdh supremacy

[buoyant shale]

Whether we will see cars faster then LMP1s in the future
No clue
It could be that at some point WEC will have its own 2017 F1 moment where they want cars to be faster but who knows

[west notch]

lmdh cars are hot

[buoyant shale]

LMH cars also hot

[west notch]

lmdh are hotter

[buoyant shale]

Theyre all hot

[lucid lion]

Don’t even know why they are called hypercars they are basically prototypes at this point

[buoyant shale]

(Fuck Aston Martin to cause the cars to be heavier then supposed to)

[buoyant shale]

Because its just a marketing name

[lucid lion]

Ik but still

I was expecting them to make racing variants of supercars like the senna gtr and stuff so its all a disappointment

[west notch]

I mean the hottest hypercar is the 9x8

[buoyant shale]

Just like how IMSA is bringing back the GTP name

Grand Touring Prototype
Where the fuck is the Grand Touring part in LMDh cars? Nowhere, but its just a name for marketing, in this case nostalgia points

And ofc
DTM

[buoyant shale]

That was the original intention

I think thats part of why the name Hypercar was chosen

The original rules did have in them that road legal versions had to be made

But along the way it was dropped

Likely because cost

Toyota made one tho

[lucid lion]

Yeah that’s what annoyed me

[west notch]

wtf

i thought that was some cursed image of a lmdh

[lucid lion]

Na its legit

Think glick are also making a road car based on their hypercar

no ABS

what are they replacing the gte's with

[tight quiver]

only GTE Am for next year

and then GT3 for 2024

[lucid lion]

Aren’t they making gt3 pro or something which will just be gt3 cars with more power

but not sure if its actually gonna happen

Toyota WEC battle with Alpine skewed by DNF, says Hartley

Toyota and Alpine are level on points heading into this weekend’s title finale in Bahrain, with both the sole #36 A480-Gibson and the #8 GR010 Hybrid having won two races each from the opening five rounds.
It marks a major departure from the 2021 season, when Toyota scored a complete sweep of six wins out of six and left Alpine to play second fiddle in the Hypercar field.

[oak rover]

what kind if motorsport is that

[buoyant shale]

Super Formula

the fastest motorsport in terms of lap times after F1

[marble willow]

Japan's top open wheel racing series

[buoyant shale]

Top of Japanese open wheel ladder

[oak rover]

faster then indy?

and f2?

[buoyant shale]

On normal circuits, yes

[oak rover]

oh

[buoyant shale]

IndyCar is ofc faster on Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval

[marble willow]

Super Formula cars are just as fast as F1 cars from the early 1990's

[buoyant shale]

but on like a circuit
Super Formula is the fastest after F1

[west notch]

Yea SF is fucking rapid

[buoyant shale]

the SF19 would make it out of Q1 in the 2014 Japanese GP

[marble willow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW2Fada4JQQ

And the pitstops are wild

[buoyant shale]

oh yeah thats also awesome

[oak rover]

Sportsland Sugo
Fuji Speedway
Autopolis
Motegi

[west notch]

they dont just race in japan, right?

[buoyant shale]

Only Japan

[west notch]

oh

I must be thinking of something else

[buoyant shale]

Super GT used to have a Thailand round but Covid canned that

[west notch]

I thought it was all of asia

[west notch]

ah

[marble willow]

Super GT also used to race at Sepang

[oak rover]

meh not good in my opnion

[buoyant shale]

I wouldve loved Super Formula to be a thing across Asia
But travel across Asia is more expensive then Europe

[west notch]

ah super gt i was thinking of super gt

[buoyant shale]

man has never even seen a race or anything from it

Super Formula's previous iteration, Formula Nippon

And before Formula Nippon, it was the Japanese F3000 Championship

Quite a few F1 alumni came from the series

Ralf Schumacher for example.

He even drove the LARK F1 GTR in the JGTC

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzIXFxquhEw
Sadly SF is behind paywall of... 1 euro per month, but here is one where they lifted that

Next year is gonna be interesting with Pourchaire and Lawson

[oak rover]

fuel 😂😂😂

[buoyant shale]

But yeah kinda wished SF had like, more international attention and also maybe also went overseas
Having them at Korea Int. Circuit or Inje Speedium would be quite awesome, Sepang or Buriram also

[oak rover]

turkey is goat track

[marble willow]

SF at Sepang sounds nice

Super GT and then SF.

[buoyant shale]

lad thats Sepang not Istanbul Park

[buoyant shale]

Yeah just doing a double header with the two series

[marble willow]

What if SF came to Mandalika

[west notch]

where can i watch sf?

[buoyant shale]

YouTube
But most races are behind a subscription thingy of 0,99 euro/dollar per month

But the season is over so

[west notch]

fuck i didnt think of that

is super gt still going?

[buoyant shale]

Nojiri kinda dominated

[marble willow]

The race uploaded some races, but those were from a couple of seasons ago

for sf

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqHFq7eaF2k

[buoyant shale]

Super GT is also done

Japanese series end quite early

[west notch]

I know absolutely nothing abt Super Formula I only know that they are fast

[buoyant shale]

and honestly we are also getting to offseason for motorsport

[west notch]

[west notch]

Yeah i forgot abt that

[buoyant shale]

Its kinda only F1 that races into december

[marble willow]

Wow. Impul on top

[west notch]

[marble willow]

Good to see Hoshino's team back on the top step

[buoyant shale]

[west notch]

[marble willow]

V8 Supercars

[buoyant shale]

Heard of Aussie Supercars?

[west notch]

[buoyant shale]

oh lord is it

[west notch]

lol

[buoyant shale]

oh cock it is

Oh yeah

because world cup

[marble willow]

ITS COOOMING HOME

[buoyant shale]

20 november is Abu Dhabi

[west notch]

I wish it was march already lol

[buoyant shale]

So actually in this sense Supercars > F1

bc they race in December heh

[marble willow]

Remember when Supercars raced at Abu Dhabi and Bahrain

[buoyant shale]

Adelaide 500 is one of the crown jewels of Supercars, along with the Gold Coast 1000 and ofc the Bathurst 1000
It does yes indeed take place at the Adelaide that F1 also raced on, but a smaller course

[marble willow]

isn't Bathurst 1000km

[buoyant shale]

knew something was wrong

i forgor

(Gold Coast 1000 is actually two races of 500km)

[buoyant shale]

and COTA

[marble willow]

That too

[west notch]

damn

[marble willow]

Honestly, if Supercars returned to COTA with the Mustang and Camaro, I bet there would be a lot of people

[buoyant shale]

I mean yeah because theyd be a support race of F1 also

[west notch]

i wish i lived in austin

[buoyant shale]

Supercars has stated that if they would race in the USA which, they are considering, it would be as a support race of F1

[marble willow]

I miss how diverse the Supercars series was

Holden
Ford
Nissan
Mercedes

Volvo

[west notch]

I thought it was like that still

[buoyant shale]

Aussie market is simply small

Nissan pulled out of Australia completely iirc

[marble willow]

Really?

[buoyant shale]

or not sure lemme find it

nah nvm

Or they just stopped production in Australia i think

which well considering the entire Aussie car industry has died ye

[marble willow]

Imagine a race between the old Supercars and the V8 Superstars series cars

[west notch]

colorful

[buoyant shale]

now the Supercars CEO has said quite a few manufacturers have expressed interest but ofc that aint saying much yet

and one is in a bit more serious talks

[tight quiver]

I miss volvo in there

Bahrain WEC: Toyota surges ahead of Peugeot in final practice

Peugeot had set the pace in the Hypercar class on Thursday with its pair of 9X8 LMH cars, but Toyota finished well clear of its French rival in the last on-track session prior to qualifying, locking out the top two spots on the timesheets.
Mike Conway completed a qualifying simulation at the beginning of the 60-minute session that yielded a best time of 1m48.384s, which was a full 1.3s quicker ...Keep reading

So next year is final year of AM?

[tight quiver]

gte overall yes

[lethal yacht]

I heard they will introduce GTE Premium which is basically a rehashing of AM with cost caps

[lethal yacht]

Pain. I thought only the Pro category was the issue. Isn’t AM still doing well?
What are the costs between AM and regular GT3

[tight quiver]

GTE is too expensive to run in the long run for manufactuers

which is why we only have 4

so they decided to pull the plug on GTE Pro this year because 5 cars

and then let GTE AM still exist until they have totally figured out GT3

there was talks about GT3 Premium but not sure what happend with it

[lucid lion]

Why not just have gt3 am with around 400 hp and a limited downforce and gt3 pro with 600hp with mor downforce or something along those lines
