I wonder if F1 taking the open wheel market helped it

[marble willow]

maybe

Well, the only other major open wheel racing series that still has something going for it (as well as for honda) is Super Formula

Imagine if Chevrolet also follows suit with Honda, leaving Indycar with no engine suppliers to choose from.

I'm sure mecachrome is open for an expansion

Imagine if Indycar decides to just have the Indy NXT AER 4 cylinder engines be used

Or what if Judd returns to Indycar and supplies them with V8's.

but the chances of that happening are equal to a juncos leading 99% of the Indy 500.

It’s not hopes up it’s “Indycar in hell”

In the trenches!

[foggy fulcrum]

That being said, SHR to Honda makes a lot of sense. The next gen makes it far easier for an OEM to enter straight to Cup .

[fierce grove]

ROI for Nascar is leaps and bounds better than Indycar anyway

[foggy fulcrum]

And SHR are the 4th best performing Ford tier 1

[foggy fulcrum]

I mean honestly I don't think it's that terrible for IndyCar to go effectively 'spec' engine

[uneven coral]

I think so personally, the product of IndyCar racing lately has been somewhat based on the marginal differences between these Chevy and Honda.

[foggy fulcrum]

you think it'd be bad?

[uneven coral]

It won't be too bad, but the field would have less teams competing for the win, it would essentially become more dominated by the likes of Penske and CGR.

[foggy fulcrum]

yeah i mean like i don't think it'd be good obviously

and they still need a new car

[uneven coral]

Definitely, the DW12 is still a reliable platform but I'm not sure how it would work with the hybrids coming in mid-season.

[foggy fulcrum]

I think if it was single manufacturer it's a lot easier to say "you can't give one team preferential treatment"

like if the winner if a Chevy no matter what yk?

The 1992 Le Mans pole was only beaten in 2008 by another Peugeot! This is the longest time the pole record was held at Le mans on the modern layout. Many reasons could explain this:

• There wasn't a lot of entered cars in 1992 and, starting 1993, no GT cars to ruin your lap.
• Most importantly, 90s GT1/LMP cars etc were made way slower and Sport...

Just realised the Peugeots are practically sandwiching the entire hypercar field.

He'll pick up the pace soon like Lotterer dw.

he got pushed off

[lost vapor]

Ah yes the vibration

[uneven coral]

Traffic with the GT3s is expectedly worse for the Hypercars.

The GTEs had closer cornering speed to the Hypercars, so it wasn't very much a problem in the corners.

This may be a stupid question, but where is the LMP2'S? Or did I miss something

No question is stupid, but they won't race anymore in the WEC to compensate for the number of Hypercars here, they'll only be allowed in Le Mans.
