Yup, you’ve read that correctly: there is HOPE for a V12 Hypercar racing at Le Mans! During my time in the WEC paddock in Bahrain, I learned about a potential new entrant to the Hypercar class. Boutique manufacturer “De Tomaso” say they are working on what would be the first LMH-spec car, based on an actual road-going Hypercar!

The brand was ...

My predictions for 2023's Top 3 Hypercar standings:

1: Porsche
2: Ferrari
3: Toyota

Considering how Porsche is Porsche and how much they have dominated the series with the 919, I have a feeling the 963 could be very dominant

Ferrari is a newbie to the top class of the WEC, so we'll see how they'll perform. I'll think of it as a benchmark to see where they are in their first season

Toyota is the most experienced in the Hypercar class, but they haven't had any proper competition ever since the latter stages of the LMP1 era, so it would be interesting where the GR010 would sit with the 499P and 963

[unkempt mirage]

One was achieved by ramming

[autumn briar]

I hope Porsche wins, but Ferrari has also been very strong in sportscar racing so I'm a bit worried about them

[marble willow]

I'm sure the battle for 1st will be close

but who knows

[autumn briar]

Yeah exactly

[unkempt mirage]

It’ll either be close or it will be 2015 919 style again

I wonder if we’re going to get something like Le Mans 2017 again

The Solberg family has not yet fully revealed its cards, but the trip to the United States to meet with the top management of Monster, dad Petter's historic partner, has produced the desired results (although it would be more correct to say budgets). This has been confirmed by all the sources known to be close to the best-known and most media-conscious Scandinavian rallying family. These days, the Solbergs have set out on a major programme, a return to their roots, given that their WRC adventure was born under the American soft drink maker's flag. According to the rumours circulating, the two Monster image men among the four-wheelers Petter Solberg and Ken Block should be on the command bridge.

[slender elm]

Was the other guy's car broken or was he being lapped?

[royal obsidian]

lapped

[slender elm]

Then he should have been in a safer position

[west notch]

it reminds me of that suzuka crash

of the 458

[west notch]

that guy moved so late tho

[marble willow]

Ah, that one.

That was also very nasty

[west notch]

yeah i couldnt believe he survived

[royal obsidian]

he was in a safer position, he was moving slower and was in the inside line where the other cars can fight way outside on his left

the problem came when one of the cars decided to lead the follower blind into him

[west notch]

yea

[royal obsidian]

or was just moving too late as misjudgement of sheer pace

[marble willow]

I think the driver was Yuhi Sekiguchi who led Takeboshi into the GT300

Correct me if I'm wrong

[slender elm]

There are many accidents which we think that how he survived but the truth is that we underestimate the strength of these cars

[slender elm]

Yeah makes sense

[west notch]

yeah we really do

[slender elm]

They are near bullet proof in my opinion

Like they are soo safe

[west notch]

I mean even in the 90s (yes they have been 2 fatalities) there were many instances where it's incredible the drivers survived

[slender elm]

Yeah precisely

Niki lauda Nurburgring

Tetsuya Ota's accident in 1998

[slender elm]

Ok close

[west notch]

yea lol

[marble willow]

Ota managed to survive the accident

and Shinichi Yamaji went to help him by trying to put out the fire from his Ferrari

[slender elm]

It look more like Niki Lauda accident

[west notch]

Rubens Barrichello

[slender elm]

Except 2 people went to help him

[west notch]

holy fuck

[marble willow]

Ota's fire damaged helmet

[slender elm]

Or senna and another driver I forgot his name in Imola where senna stopped to tell the guy to get out

[marble willow]

It's a wonder Ota survived

[west notch]

nah man built different

Look like the Hiroshima bomb exploded

This should probably be in #classic-motorsport

[west notch]

yea true lol

[slender elm]

His car was like nothing

Just a cylinder

Or a teardrop inface

[west notch]

how have i never seen this

the two marshalls wheeling the rear of the car at the end

that was 1991, looks like 1941

This accident still gives me creeps

[marble willow]

Let's just take this somewhere else, cause this is just F1 content

[west notch]

[slender elm]

Right

Martin Donnelly i think it was

[buoyant shale]

Theyre faster then LMH and LMP2

[royal obsidian]

guh

well then

[buoyant shale]

At least at this years Fuji 6h

The LMH qualifying was slower then GT500

By a few seconds

[tight quiver]

GT500 is built to be the fastest Hypercars are built to not get too much BOP

[buoyant shale]

GT500 is prototypes disguised as GT cars

[tight quiver]

yes

[royal obsidian]

see this is why I believe GT1 can return

and why I keep advocating for it

WEC drivers bid farewell to special GTE Pro category

This month’s Bahrain 8 Hours finale marked the end of the all-professional GTE division in the WEC, amid a shift in manufacturer interest to the new Hypercar class for prototype cars.
GTE Pro had been a permanent staple of the championship since its rebirth in 2012 and was loved by fans across the world for its entire tenure, even at the height of the LMP1 class in the mid-2010s.

Manufacturers' cup is getting spicy today

Toyota needs to be at least 3rd in the grand final race to win

while Porsche needs to win the final race to with Toyota below P3 to win

Mercedes-AMG might be able to pull it off as well if they win and Toyota is P3 or lower

track got dry and Toyota is back up at P1 nvm

or well there's a wet line

so it might be possible for Toyota to fuck it up

but Fraga is based

clouds currently forming up above

we might have rain near the end of this race

which will create a whole new layer of battle

[lethal yacht]

Do y’all think the soon to be released De Tomaso will enter WEC?

[royal obsidian]

depends on if it follows regulations or not and what teams are interested in it

rain is coming through

TOYOTA PITS

THEY MIGHT NOT MAKE IT OUT

IF THIS CONTINUES SUBARU COULD BE CHAMPION
