Morbidelli says otherwise

Vinales says the 2020 bike is just a heap of shit with no grip and no straight line speed

#

but i think it is more of the fact that they have somehow fell behind others

#

4 victories with that 2020 yamaha is not bad

#

and the 2019 bike seems to suit Moribdelli and doesn't have as many drawbacks

#

he could win the title next year with a decent bike depending on what they give him

I suprised that Ducati won the manufactors title

obv because Yamaha had that 50 point deficit but

I do think that Rallyecross is one of the better platforms for electric racing though, at least for now

the races are quick so battery life shouldn't be an issue

thats a fair point

and the instant torque from electric motors will still make them pretty spectacular in terms of acceleration and, hopefully, frequent sideways-action (unless they have all wheel drive?)

But then Volkswagen boss Herbert Diess caused a sensation at the end of August when he spoke on the 'LinkedIn' business platform.

Porsche: Audi's LMDh ambitions won't affect our own plans

Audi announced on Monday that it would quit Formula E after the 2020/21 season to “intensively prepare” for an LMDh programme that would include the Le Mans and Daytona 24-hour races, and a Dakar entry from 2022.
Audi’s sister company Porsche revealed back in March that it is also evaluating the LMDh ruleset which have been jointly devised by ACO and IMSA, raising the possibility of the ...Keep reading

WEC and IMSA

Does IMSA also do Sebring? if so why not LMSh

Lmao they do

#

12 Hours of Sebring

They call them Le Mans prototype because Le Mans is their biggest race

In the same way, they call them Daytona prototypes in IMSA because that's their biggest race

DPi

ah

Daytona Prototype international

so LMDh is both

#

it can run at the Le Mans 24h

and the 24h of Daytona

it's a Le Mans class, and a Daytona class

#

I like how the European Le Mans Series doesnt even run at Le Mans btw, Le Mans kind of became the name for this kind of competition format

So LMDh bc it has the names of both of WECs and IMSAs headlining races, got it

yeah

and then just h as well to confuse everyone

I don't know what class LMDh replaces in IMSA though

if it's just the LMP2s they run, or also the DPis?

#

DPis are also LMP2 based anyway

just with different powertrains

So I guess probably both but I don't know

could see it doing both

the LMDh info is scarily lacking considering it happens next year

I am a bit late, but no, LMDh does not replace LMP2s

LMDh (like DPi) will be based on LMP2 chassis, but not replacing them

LMDh will essentially replace DPi in IMSA, and also join the LMHs in the Hypercar class in WEC

while LMP2s will still carry on in not only WEC and IMSA, but also ELMS and AsLMS
