    Re: VW Group at Le Mans

    Last day of the WEC Prologue (Sebring). The 963 continues to disappoint. Way off the pace.

    Toyota will walk the race next weekend (Sebring) .

    Re: VW Group at Le Mans

    It's really weird, as if The FIA thinks Porsche is sandbagging.

    The 963s are sporting the class Cadillacs 10kg for the 1st 4 races.

    Like, did they not watch Daytona?

    Yes, I cannot make head or tail of the BoP. 

    I cant wait for this BoP era to be over. I know I might have to be patient, but it will be the death of racing.

    But yeah like honestly, logically Cadillac should be at least 10kg in the red. But guess FIA really want an American brand to succeed. 

    My contacts told me a 20kg swing would have been nice. But even that wouldn't even guarantee they gonna be on top. 963 isn't the best chassis. 

    Engine map is too conservative. It will last 24hrs for sure. But there are room for tuning yet it wasn't exploited.

    This is the main issue with BoP: It provides the regulators with far too much power; Instead of guarantying a level playing field , it provides them with the power to determine end results.

    I recognize that my opinion on this is in the minority, but hopefully time will change things.
