LMP1 engines (from 2014 to current)
The new regs allow for just about any engine provided it can get around the lap without running out of gas, so what do we actually know about who is running what next year?
Rebellion: continuing with Toyota 3.4l n/a V8 petrol (I think this is confirmed) Toyota: petrol + hybrid system Porsche: probably a small (2l?) turbo 4 cylinder petrol, + hybrid system Audi: diesel V6? + hybrid system Strakka: continuing with Honda 3.4l n/a petrol V8? Any others? Also, the rule preventing front wheel hybrid use below 120kph is being dropped which might encourage a move to 4 wheel drive for traction and weight distribution reasons. Audi will continue with their 'quattro' system. I wonder if Porsche will go 4wd? |
