wonder how much petrol valkirye would require a stint....
aside this, TMG has already a basically developed car... AMR struggles to understand the aero of their own car....

I wouldn't bet against the Valkyrie. Newey designed it and he's one of the best aero guys in the racing world. The engine is going to be detuned from its 1000+hp, so it seems like a good thing for reliability and fuel consumption. Hybrids are limited too, no more 400hp electric power to the wheels. It's 150. Engine power might be a better bet. Higher top speed and the hybrids will be limited to fwd and activation at 100 or 120kmh.That negates a lot of the acceleration advantages but in the wet it is definitely advantageous.
