Hi,
I think upgrading the materials leads to more reliability which is the focus for a 24 hr engine.
It's not as though the engine is spinning to f1 speeds. I think the gtl processed fuel allows the engines to rev to 6000+ rpm
anyone going to lm in june??

So if you can lighten it you do it. Its easier to make a quick car reliable not the other way around(how many times have we heard that lol)
