I really like the Cadillac's high revving N/A cross plane V8

I like the variety of engine designs and integrations.

But what about the engine-to-monocoque mounting points? are they standardised or not? Do the BMW and Cadillac engines have the same front mounting points, or is the Dallara chassis rear bulkhead they share adapted to each engine studs (and ancillaires?)?

Can’t believe how far back BMW actually was!

At least Porsche was fast but unreliable! Cadillac was close to the leaders but still lacking a bit of pace! I didn’t expect Acura to be that fast and reliable straightaway!

But I guess experience from previous years of the DPi platform and using almost the exact same aero and engine…helped Acura a bit!

I want to see how the Cadillac does in the WEC! A bit of a shame that Honda doesn’t want to race the Acura at Le Mans already…
