I think it warrants a waiver as they've done to allow people to run flat-plane cranks even if the road car doesn't have one. Ben |

fuel consumption is not in the BoP, read the rules, averege laptime is the only thing in hte bop, and alows for 0.5% diff, and that is measured over 20 best lap.

If they lap faster they get a BoP penalty for being too fast. What I'm saying is that if you have an inherent fuel economy advantage to that extent then the BoP becomes redundant. Question for you arakis - where do you stand on the "technical marvel" of the diesels vs. petrol balance of performance? Ben |

Hmm, maybe they should find someone other than AER to supply their starter motor? (sorry, couldn't resist)

so addvances in road cars should give you and addvantige, thats the point Diesels vs petrols, is simple, let petrols have the same volume and turbochargers and restrictors, and we would see just how unfair the ACO is |

It's a BoP formula, which is the only fair way to race such diverse cars equally. New technology doesn't come into it. Ben |

Arakis. Here's an example for you. At the moment The Porsche hybrid has the fastest lap in GT and it can go 5 laps longer on fuel. If that performed to it's limit compared to a Ferrari 458 - the Ferrari would never win.
All arguing aside, you can't introduce a technology into this class that if it perform to it's limit obsoletes all the other cars. Incidentally this is precisely why Porsche themselves have lobbied against Hybrids in GTE when the discussion was held on that matter. Ben |

thats why there is no fue consumption in the formula, and why there is a 0.5% margin alowed. |

The 911 hybrid has the 911 number!
Is Hindy a Porsche supporter? (Nothing against that.) |

Wow I love the how fans commentate on the GT race, so much tech talk and trash talk, loving it and I wish LMP1 provided the same kind of passion.
