Mike explains in great detail why the engine cover is much larger and higher than in current LMP1s.
Thanks for posting, it's a bit hard to follow his updates without a RSS feed in his website (I don't use social media )

Something is bugging me a little bit.

“(the) Effect of new regulation on aero numbers will depend on car concept so (it's) hard to say...with the new engine rules, drag will have to be lower (as fuel consumption [is the] driver) so that was the main change: to trim the car down significantly.”
They talk about the importance of lower drag but they choose an open front splitter, isn't a closed one better for that purpose ?
