New Nissan GT-R LM
How about this for a different way going about winning Le Mans
http://www.nissan-motorsports.com/EN...015/15003.html
550BHP 3.0 V6 twin turbo petrol Engine, IN THE FRONT. FRONT ENGINED. Driving the front wheels.
700BHP Hybrid power unit driving the rear wheels.
So 4 works teams, and 4 different ideas. WEC is looking good

The WEC goes from strength to strength, because of the regs; 4 major manufacturers all with different solutions. None of the other FiA series can say that.
And not only that; I reckon all of the factory drivers are picked on talent, not bringing cash. I'm not sure F1 or WRC can say that.
And as for Nissan, is there a more proactive company in world Motorsport? Others should take note......
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

Don't get upset. I did say "leading" F1/WRC teams. Middle, back of the field? Ok, but it's not saying much. There's a reason why Sports/GT racing is an alternative motorsport path.

WEC is frankly, awesome.. F1 is its feeder series...
Have you been to Mulsannescorner.com where Mike Fuller (before it was released) wrote a great piece on the throughflow design of the chassis and after it was released wrote more about this intresting car. Just a shame it isn't racing before Le Mans..

Today without bigger drama for Rally1, so expecting tomorrow lot of retirements maybe, because there is NEVER rally without issues. Let's see guys, favorizing Ogier for the win probably, depends on...
