I am siginificantly more interested in what their front wing and sidepod intakes look like. Along with seeing just how much they've castrated the diffuser.
If you've been able to look at those two type of engine, then easy to appreciate there's huge difference.Holm86 wrote: ↑19 Jul 2024, 12:35This is very true.yinlad wrote: ↑19 Jul 2024, 09:29The engines already exist in the AMR Pros the race cars are built off. I'm pretty sure they are converting existing chassis rather than building new. I'd bet a detuned Cosworth is about 3000 times less likely to blow up too. Also also, the engine is a stressed member in Valk and I'd doubt the mounting points etc are going to line up on anything in-houseHolm86 wrote: ↑18 Jul 2024, 22:12Alright, just thought it might be easier and a hell of a lot cheaper to take one of their own engines and bring up to 670hp rather than taking a very expensive and bespoke engine and detune it that much.
And most people wouldn't even know the difference anyway, the rest of the car doesn't really look like the Valkyrie anyway

This is definitely one of the reasons that Ferrari is so quick on the straights. They simply have a smaller frontal area than the others. They were able to take advantage from building an LMH car from the ground up with no compromise. The LMDH manufacturers re-used old LMP2 tubs. Toyota seems to have designed a to passenger cockpit which may have been a vestige of the first gen LMH rules. The greenhouse of the Porsche (multimatic LMP2 based) is enormous. It's no wonder why they are slow on the straights.
You are right. Until we see the valkyrie LMH in a race; the 499P is the only LMH built from the ground up to the current regulations. The same regulations also hamper a manufacturer's ability to design a new car in short order if their current car is inadequate.AR3-GP wrote: ↑04 Aug 2024, 04:37FIA WEC shared a tweet of some of the cars from behind at Le Mans.
