So that is around 1:2 in terms of weight and downforce.
Still some way to F1 which produces nearly all of it´s weight in downforce on the front wing alone. (about 500kg´s)

Now that i´ve gotten some more info here from Rhys i have to say i´m excited to see the car in the Porsche curves and on the Le Mans straight.
And seeing the tire wear on the front tires.

Edit: also seeing the weight distribution i´d like to know the CoP as well.

Please, don't praise Nissan for that, they only rebadged a Chevy engine in the story ! Project 21 I think it's called is behind the car

 

[Hampus Andersson]

They have updated their live timing. Looks very fresh now, all testing times are there as well.

Nice save from Edwards.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Practice 1 was red flagged, anybody know why?

Now I see why people on iRacing brake for no reason, the real guys do, lets give it a try

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Strange lines he takes in T2 & T4. For T4 i take a much wider apex to get a higher top speed on that long straight. T2 looked like he turned in early. Have to try that in iRacing, probably quicker.

Best sounding engine in the competition, 9-10.000rpms of raw V8 sound.

Sorry you are incorrect, the Corvette has the best sound. Nothing compairs to the rumble that they make (I can't believe I am going to say this but the v8 Aston sounds really good as well).

 

[Hampus Andersson]

I prefer a more finely tuned engine noise then a rumble I like screamers you like brawlers.
Aston V8 is probably one of the most horrendously sounding cars i know

 

[Kol Bailey]

Sadly, I don't think I can watch this race!

Should be an interesting race tomorrow. An awful lot of cars on a relatively short track.

Ferraris are looking very strong!!

Vette´s as well, should be interesting to see how different it is compared to last year as drivers said it felt like a new car almost.

So, F1 is done for today, bring on the FIA WEC
