WEC 2020 Tech Regulations - Hypercar Regulations

[johnny comelately]

Are there any news regarding Ferraris hypercar? There should be already a prototype kicking around?

Found an article from February that says that the new hypercar will debut on track at Fiorano this month.

Not quite on topic but undersung (LMGTE Pro class):

Le Mans 2022 starts today
Gentleman Brendan Hartley got the well deserved pole (not as critical as Monaco )
Cadillac and Accura are mooted for next year
What happened to the Peugeot X9something??

As you know, LMDH cars will have a standard hybrid system/KERS, but I wonder if a competitor like Alpine can use a turbo engine with an MGUH like in F1 / use a lemanised version of its F1 engine...
Well I guess that regen throuh the turbo wont be possible, this article 5.3.11 seems to outlaw it, but it's unclear if teams can atleast retain the motor function of the MGUH and propel the turbo with it...

100 points for use of the word "Lemanised"

#8 wins with gentleman Brendan Hartley at the wheel.
Ironically the sister/brother car #7 had time out with an electrical motor problem but both ICE's performed perfectly for 48 hours.

Postoponed for Monza this year. They needed more time to work on the design before locking it for homologation.

I doubt it is worth the extra weight, equipment and possible unreliability. When endurance racing, drivers are often very gentle on corner exit, so save the tires and minimize wear and stress of the car. So how much would they benefit from mgu antilag?

Shure they want to go full beans during qually, but then they could use conventional antilag, since fuel saving is not needed.

I doubt it would even be allowed, because even for just antilag, the system still needs to store power and that would be seen as a extra power source.

Some still shots of the Ferrari car:





I don’t really know what to look for on these cars so interested if anyone has any observations about the design.

The endplates and shark fin are absolutely huge, I would like to know why they went for that design

The Cadillac.
Good looking car.
