I think it's simply throttle-induced lost of traction. While it's a car with weight balancing issues, the spin happens too late through the corner to be a cause of weight transfer. He also doesn't hit the apex, so it's not because of that either. The glick's got a rear-engine v8 with rwd, so it's extremely prone wheel spin
another issue with the non-hybrid drivetrains in le mans is the RWD
1000kg with 800hp engine really needs 4wd
old sedge
Would the cold tires contribute to that? He just changed his tires that time

And his best pacing record was close to the P2 Toyota

Yeah, they got nerfed

balance of performance is in favour for non-hybrid
lost an entire second because of that

It was said that Alpine was heavily hit by last minute BoP
And their car had serious mechanical issues
But hey, Glick is the 1st American car brand to make it to the podium at Le Mans since Ford's last overall victory.
heady swift
It was said that Alpine was heavily hit by last minute BoP
it's because of their superior bodywork
the gibson still uses their lmp1 body
old sedge
So that's why
old sedge
If LMP2 wasn't nerfed, it would probably be faster than LMH
heady swift
the alpine is literally a lmp1 with an lmp2 body and exceeded the target 3.30 time by 15 seconds
heady swift
If LMP2 wasn't nerfed, it would probably be faster than LMH

lmh has a simpler body and engine
but the aero and drivetrain received major nerfs
old sedge
I see... If I'm not mistaken, Alpine's clutch or gears broke during the race itself this year and it crashed but in both incidents, the car was drivable and managed to reach pit stop

current lmh engine configs are centred around mid end performance because the electric engines are only allowed to be used +120km/h, the lmp2 engine from the gibson is configured for lmp1 era top end performance and was therefore nerfed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQK6c1b...
which one?
because this is the blue car's fault
old sedge
The one which hit the Corvette I think?
All I know is it was said that "the" LMP2 got penalized
heady swift
the one who hit the corvette made a mistake, but one outside their capability
the blue car moved to aggressively for the vette's slip-stream
and prompted the other lmp2 to swerve
old sedge
Yeah and tbf, I think the Corvette did give way to them
I watched the race 24 hours without sleeping but I only watched the Glick's livestream all throughout
That's why I didn't know much about anything what happened
heady swift
because from the grey's perspective, they're sandwiched between the vette and blue lmp2 while the ferrari is turning right to make way for them, but the blue car turns too aggressively for the slip stream (probably as an attempt to counter the overtake) and prompted the grey car to swirl

moving to the right blocked an LMP2 which is competing against another one

Not to mention lower category drivers are not allowed to defend against higher category drivers
And they are required to give way to higher category

As if that Ferrari can overtake the LMP2 in front of him anyway
what the ferrari should've done is stay on the left to make way for two overtaking LMP2s and make use of the other LMP2s slipstream or swirl to avoid dirty air
and then contest the vette
old sedge
I'm rewatching it and that Ferrari did block 2 LMP2, including the blue car. If the Ferrari just gave way, it could've been smoother for the 2 LMP2 cars
heady swift

exactly
the ferrari made that move in prospect of defending their position against the vette in the following turn
but jeopardised two cars with lane priority
old sedge
On the Corvette's part, someone said that lower category drivers are not required to go out of their way although they should give way but the higher category drivers are the ones who need to search a way to overtake them
So that's probably why he didn't go to the left
That could be why when Glick and Toyota overtake the GT cars, the GT drivers mostly just stay in their lanes without paving way and without defending at the same time

Here in my country, MTs are often for basic/entry models, it's rare for high and top models to have MTs. Many people want MT for nostalgia
But for me, I think MT has advantage over AT in maintenance cost. For fuel consumption, not anymore.

I’m doing a transmission replacement on my Silverado
-My truck uses 4x4 on the floor
-Donor truck has electronic 4wd engagement
Will the transmission from the donor truck work in my truck? Posting it here in hopes someone will know from experience. It’s a 2004.
I don’t wanna tear my drivetrain apart just to find out GM fucked up with their electronic systems so bad that the new trans won’t work
proper elbow
Would definitely confirm with a GM forum, but afaik most Silverados, 1500s anyway, had a 4l60E
anyway... as I was about to say a 4l60e is a 4l60e, I think in your situation the only component that's different between your truck and the donor is the transfer case (electronic vs manual)
output shaft on the transmission should be the same, doubt they'd make any changes to that across similar-gen 4wd models, and the TCM shouldn't have anything to do with the t-case
