Interesting decision. It is at odds with the choice of Porsche and Cadillac to run large displacement V8s.

I wonder how LMH and LMDH cars will be balanced going forward in IMSA and the WEC. This is given that reportedly (based on times from the Road Atlanta test today) that the LMDH/GTP cars are barely slower than the DPI cars. At Sebring, the LMH cars in the WEC event were a fair bit slower than the DPIs.

Testing pics from today via S365:

Both Acura cars are there with one each from Caddy and BMW

BWM really wants to keep the car clean since they are low on spares after a testing crash in "mixed" conditions at the Glen.

For those who have Zuk's "invention" if you follow Road Atlanta there are a decent number of trackside videos for the 3 cars running this week.
Caddy is slightly different in note, Acura seems a bit louder, don't remember the BMW

Seems the Shank car had an issue which led to a crash, but other than that, pretty good running.

Second shunt in three days for MSR. This time McMurry at the wheel. Both Acuras packed up slightly early as a result.

T5 on Monday, T7 on Wednesday. And a Beamer at Watkins Glen recently. Kinda Messy all in all.

On a sidenote, I wish IMSA would revive the early spring Rd. Atl. sprint race.

Details on how the hybrid system is going to be deployed are still not finalized from the series, but a small update from GM testing:

This is definitely going to be an interesting year. So many technical challenges and so many unknowns. The more you follow the hybrid part, the more intriguing it becomes. With all of the hybrid components being the same for all manufacturers, any weak link could become a huge issue across the board. Reliability is one unknown that Daytona will tell for sure. Even a 24-hour "test run" cannot duplicate the possibilities that can occur during a real endurance race.

Will be interesting to see if they will require all LMDh cars to run under electric power in the pits. With that requirement, a hybrid component failure could sideline a team.

Don’t think it’s a stand alone hybrid system, think the engine needs to be running as well. It’s a different system than the old LMP1 electric launch but MUCH cheaper

Not sure but this is what was reported by Sportscar365:

Quote:
Sportscar365 understands that a decision on whether cars will be required to run on full electric mode while in pit lane was yet to be decided as of last month, with other key points still awaiting final confirmation from the sanctioning bodies.
From that, I would conclude that they can indeed run full electric mode.
