Mazda was dumb enough to run a 2.0 I4 for 24 hours.

Nevertheless, the cadillac is just on a league of its own. Expect BoPs in the future.

Mazda on suicide watch.

Glorious LS master race proves once again more big = more gud

Cadillac = goat

This.
Anyone heard what exactly failed on the Mazda? I only saw that it caught fire

>>16577180
That's a shitty excuse. Porsche ran a 2.0 and won LeMans twice in a row.

>>16577163
It's just a generic McLMP design at this point.

>>16577444
V4 turbo with hybrid system vs I4 turbo with no hybrid system.

There is a big difference there.

>>16577163
>>16577180
le balance of power detuned 6.2L totally fair lads

>>16577198
It's an LT not LS.

>Mazda loses from running a tiny turbo engine

Serves them right for being displacelets. They should stay out until they can finish the new rotary.

>>16579087
Thats not why they lost.
I fact they were 5th over all and in class.
A fire stopped them.

Even if the car didn't catch fire, it still wouldn't have won. Cadillac BTFO'd everyone

>>16579220
Correct. But mazda is still doing awesome things. And this was the debut of that engine too.

>A fire stopped them.
What's up with Mazda racecars and catching fire? You'd think after they lost the Furai they'd make sure this wouldn't happen again.

>>16579360
Shit happens

>>16579374
But does it have to?

>>16579405
Well yeah.
Why wouldnt it?

>>16579420
I dunno, karma?

how can all these fancy direct injected dual overhead cam prototypes lose to a brand new chassis with a pushrod motor?

>>16579614
Cadillac=Chassis Gods

>>16579233
Agreed. Even if it wasn't ultra competitive it's nice to see competition and new ideas

>>16579614

There's a reason why industrial engines that need to run 24/7 are so big and "underpowered". Bigger engines are more reliable more or less.

>>16579925
Dallara made the chassis

>>16577906
Yes Mazda make shit.

>>16577180
These races are for tests. Now they know shit doesn't work right and needs updates.

>>16577906
>tfw no V4 car

Damn those designers and their insistance on sleep hoods.

>>16577421
I'm not sure the exact cause but it was an oil fire and he was leaking oil before he caught fire
