Megatron should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Joest Porsche LMP1

Joest won the 96 and 97 Le Mans with the TWR Porsche and did it without a lot of help or develoment from Porsche. However, for 1998 Porsche redid their GT1 and also redid the TWR with new bodywork and a lot of support from the Porsche factory just in case the Joset team beat them again, it would still be a "works" Porsche winning.

Yet it was the GT198 that won and the Porsche LMP did not fair well at all. Why? Were the regulations against open top cars at that time? Was the new bodywork flawed?
