So with that said. What could you do to the current Corvette C8R to make it lap 4 seconds slower at Sebring? GTLM looks like did 1 min 55 while GTD with pro drivers did 1 min 59. |
well first of all C8R uses confidential michelins, give the same gtd michelin spec tires and just with that the car should be about 1-1.5s slower on qualifying pace and potentialy even slower in average race trim since it would be C8R to adapt to the tires and not the opposite as happens with confidential compound.
Then consider that lexus has a 5.4L engine and is 100kg heavier than C8R lol, make C8R in the range of >1350kg and it would be >2s slower than now for sure.
Also a more gt3-like diffuser should slow down the car and make it a bit less aero-efficient decreasing top speed too.
