Memes aside with benz, wasn't the CLK GTR so fucking unreliable that costumers who bought it had to go through lemon laws or something? honestly didn't think it was possible for a modern car of any caliber less known million dollar one to be that unreliable.

LMP1 is a fuckload cooler than GT1 ever was..

You're an idiot. GT1 was effectively another prototype spec.
Also, if you want to see the old cars race, either watch old videos or attend a vintage racing series in person.

The CLK GTR never had a blowover, dummy. It was a CLR.

The CLK GTR was effectively a racecar and its sole purpose was to homologate the racecar. The comforts and practicalities or a traditional roadcar don't matter. Its engine and the drivetrain are practically the same as the racecar and therefore the life can be measured in hours.
Simply put there's a huge disparity in engineering for racecars and roadcars and as a homologation special, the CLK GTR was designed as the former.

This. LMP will die when audi leaves and you dummies will start creaming your pants over its corpse.

DELET THIS FAGGOT

While I don't disagree that current lmp1 racing was amazing, I love the homologation specials that came from gt1, and you just don't get that now
>>16074731
I can't think of a reason we can't have lmp1 and gt1 and gtlm/gt2.
Lmp2 is pointless.

Because the GT1 class of the '90s evolved into a pseudo-prototype class. They were GT cars in name only so what's the point of continuing to call the GT cars when they where anything but? Besides, LMP2 cars are on the same level of performance as the old GT1 class. So at the end of the day you've got a spec that's as fast as GT1 was and GT1 itself was basically a prototype class anyway, how exactly does that make the LMP2 class the one that's pointless?

it's spec cars so it's cheaper for privateer teams
