It is definitely a little wider (the cabin). The car itself looks bigger thats for sure. But imo, not too much bigger.

I am very interested too. It remains a question, whether we can see the true potential of this car at all. Yes, Alpine LMP1 will be capable to do faster laptimes than GR010 at Le Mans, so there is a chance that Toyota has to go flat out and will not be Bop-ed. in 2022 they will be held back definitely because of LMDh.
Alpine is meant to win LM in my opinion, but I also hope, that at least somebody at ACO wants a maiden LMH to win the race..

..and also as a racing team, you must make full use of the regulations that allow you to fit as much wings, plates as possible. The engineers would have to be fools not taking advantage of the allowed design freedom.

If that be the case, I'm just disappointed that Rebellion aren't still there to win with it.....

My favorite Le Mans 24 in the past decade for prototypes was 2017. That year it was real hot and the LMP1 cars had fragility issues. If its a hot June, and Toyota has their first race with the LMH...who knows if this could be a wacky race this year. Hope so. I miss seeing some fragility in the prototypes at endurance races.

In 2020-form sure, but obviously it is going toget a hefty ballast and a cut in power. I don't think exact numbers are published yet.
