Idc who you are, you have to admit that this thing can move around this race course. That made some adjustments since test day to make it faster on the straights, and it can grip around those corners just about as well as a GTE car. This thing is a monster and I hope that we can get a stock car class for the WEC. I would call it GT Super Stock Car. It's considerably faster than the GTE, but considerably slower than LMP2.

The coolest thing about this car is the goal of next gen was to make 1 chasis that can race on any track. We are not even 1.5 years into the gen 7 era and we have seen it race on everything from a 1/2 mile oval to an 8.5 mile circuit and everything in between. It even races on dirt tracks. So from that aspect you have to give Nascar credit on the design

The car has quite a few modifications but in slow speed corners the mechanical grip matters way more. For the car to be be lapping quite a bit faster than the high downforce GTE counterpart, there needs to be a substantial amount of mechanical grip to help it out of slow corners and in the twisty bit of the circuit. But yes the Aero definitely helps in the high speed corners.

They have a composite body shell that is identical across all the cars except for the front clip which is manufacturer specific. In other words.

This ting is running an unrestricted motor, it's currently producing over 1,000hp and torque. The GTs on the otherhand are restricted by BoP, and most of the GT field is pushing between 520 to 550 hp, ditto for torque. They also shed 400 pounds (around 180 - 190kg of the top of my head) so weight is similar to the GTs aswell. So this modified and unrestricted cup car beating the GTs on the straights is a forgone conclusion.

@JayRussellDuramax Жыл бұрын

@@jessekleidon9503 The article I read said this engine is restricted to 670 hp. Still more than the GT cars, but not twice as much. Also, these engines don't make that much torque. They make horsepower with RPM, not torque. I believe, unrestricted, the numbers are around 700 ft-lb peak torque and 900 peak hp at the tires.

3:47 in qualifying... so splitting hairs. And we have to remember how incredible the BoP was for the 911RSR at the time.... The straight line speed and acceleration of the G56 from about 60-170 would make it a pretty challenging race for the GTE's v G56. I am actually glad the G56 is comfortable faster, even with the platinum drivers in the GTE's. It should keep from muddying up the GTE race at the front.

The car looks and sounds great! Much faster in the corners than I thought it would be. I think they'll hold their own just fine for the 24 hours. My gut feeling is that NASCAR as a sanctioning body is using this as a testing ground to make their product better in their own series. It would be cool if they were able to create their own stock car class at Le Mans and run it every year though. You wanna talk about growing the sport globally, creating new fans and not being looked at as a laughing stock in the racing world, then there you go. This would go a long way in doing just that. As long as they don't screw it up!

@andrewesau51 Жыл бұрын

I thought the same thing. But then I thought about it a little harder. And I realized having 35 Cup drivers suddenly in the LeMans field would cause major chaos. If you've seen how these guys drive at road courses, it's not exactly respectful. Cup drivers aren't bad road racers they're just brought up with a different mindset, a mindset that turns road races into demolition derbies. Very fun to watch when it's just them. But extremely inconvenient for the WEC field I'm sure to have them all there not giving anything up.

Obviously they might have some other people being drivers since you need more than one. Actually I just had a thought. Most NASCAR teams have more than one driver. So if each team fielded one car they'd have 3 or 4 drivers to drive the car. And that would cut the field of CUP cars down to 10 or less. It could work

Ehh im a huge NASCAR fan and I'd call it a NASCAR. If I was trying to be more specific ids say a CUP car but if I was just generalizing I'd just say it's a NASCAR. I've called them NASCAR'S my entire life. I'd only use "cup car" or "sprint car" as a clarifier. That only tells you which division they are, all of them are NASCAR. Id call both CUP and Xfinity cars NASCARs and I'd call the Truck series, well I'd just call them "the trucks". So I really don't think there's a issue calling this car a "NASCAR" because that's what it is. Even life long die hard fans use the term in that way.
