NASCAR did say the rules regarding the option tire in the All-Star Race weekend are that there is only one set per race, all four have to be used on a stop, if they are used in the middle and you need to pit then all four have to come off and they can't be mismatched (You can't take two lefts or rights, you have to take them all).

They did testing on them on Daytona and NASCAR's already thinking of bringing them in for the 2018 season but the All Star race has to not be a shitshow first.

>>75262664
I assume as soon as the team changed from P2 racing to GT racing, they sold the engines since they could still get top dollar for them. Or they possibly never actually owned the engines as part of a customer engine supply deal with Honda. I have no idea how it works desu

>>75254284
Been looking at Kamui's Le Mans/WEC stats, when the dude is in LMP1 he almost usually podiums against Porsches and AUDIs.

KOBASH

>>75267614
>podiums against 6 opponents

not a big deal

Kamui Kobayashi and Mike Conway claimed the top spot with a 1m37.304s average to end up nearly three tenths clear of teammates Kazuki Nakajima and Anthony Davidson in the sister Toyota TS050 Hybrid.

Fastest time of the session was a 1m36.793s set by Kobayashi during the first runs, on which Conway followed up with a 1m37.816s after his faster first lap was deleted due to a track limits violation.

Nakajima has been nearly nine tenths slower in the second of the two high-downforce Toyotas, but Davidson improved on his teammate's time to reduce the gap to the pole-winning car.

Kobayashi said: "The car was brilliant and I think that was a good lap time, but my teammate did well as well."

The best of the Porsche's low-downforce 919 Hybrids trailed the pole-winning Toyota by 1.311s.

Nick Tandy set the fastest Porsche time with a 1m38.454s, which gave him and Neel Jani third place on the grid with a 1m38.615s average.

That put them four tenths up on the second Porsche in which Brendon Hartley and Timo Bernhard averaged a 1m39.063s.

Alex Lynn and Pierre Thiriet took qualifying honours in LMP2 for the G-Drive Racing squad.

Lynn topped the times after the first runs aboard the Russian-entered ORECA-Gibson 07 with a 1m43.412s, which stood as the fastest time in class.

>>75267639
When it comes to Le Mans 24, Audi locks it up.

But for all the WEC Sprints circuits, Kamui cleans house because diesel turbo/pitting is less of an issue.

>>75267614
You mean in one year, he was in a car that managed to finish in the top half of the P1 field 6/9 times

I can get it on TV at FS1 which is live (apparently), but I fucking hate their WEC coverage. I will never forgive them for the shit they pulled at last year's le mans where they fucking cut away from the final 20 minutes of the race to some other fucking programming and I missed out on the toyota memes. Also they fucking run commercials every fucking 10 minutes for 5 minutes and don't show the race during then even on a small screen like they do in nascar. On top of it all, their commentators are a bunch of nascar rednecks. Fuck fox sports, fuck their wec coverage. I want a fucking real euro acestream REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Peugeot might comeback next year in endurance.

Literally why

TOYOTA BANZAI!
GANBATTE TOYOTA!!

Given that Porsche brought the low aero pack to Silverstone the gap should have been a lot bigger between Toyota and Porsche

>>75209586
Toyota wins lol

>>75281578
yeah looking at their quali performance I would have expected more. I'm sure everyone is sandbagging though.

>>75281146
>Gt am

>>75281578
Porsche treated this as a glorified test session and nearly won the race. Things don't look too good for Toyota

Well that was nicely timed with the end of the F1 race.

>>75281673

i know rite?

where's the replay of the GTE AM spaghettiing?

>ferd won

>win everything
>lose le mans

>>75281753

Their best lap is a second clear of all the others. Why haven't they been banned yet? That car is basically a homologation special.

>>75281825
It's properly homologated now, they just sandbag the start of a new season to dodge BoP.

>>75281862

But isn't the new GT a limited run vehicle? They could sell all of them and be running the GTE car for years after.

>>75281981
I think the goal as one per day until 2020. Hopefully next years Aston and Porsche will close the gap like the 488 did last year.

Did I JUST miss WEC Silverstone?

>>75284766
You're 2.5 hours late.
