This type of racing is so much better than NASCAR I don’t know why it isn’t mkfe popular. 2nd place had an open cockpit. Was it in a different class than 1st place? The cars looked pretty even to me.

@@javiersilva1577 I think back then lmp2 had both open cockpit and closed cockpit entries. Unlike now where they are basically the exact same, with the same engine. Especially now that the series basically devolved into an oreca 07 one make series. This was definitely the golden era of lmp2, when the cars actually felt different from each other and had different engines. I wish open cockpit prototypes would come back, but it probably never will for safety reasons.

Thanks for the info. F1 cars are open cockpits but now they have the halo. Maybe LMH cars could adopt that if they ever want to do open cockpits again

That's a really horrible future. I hope vette's get to keep there v8's same for Mercedes and McLaren and the V10's in the huracan and r8. Why would they touch prosche's GTLM V6 though? because it sounds better now?! what assholes!
