I think LMP3 is already the smallest prototype class you could make.

What about the CN class:

That's the AsLMS desperate for car numbers (even though they shouldn't worry.

Also there is no worry for LMP1...anybody who has any worries about that class is paranoid.

I'm not also talking about the ALMS, there are small international championships (V de V, Supercar Challenge) that have these cars and more rarer cars (Ferrari 458 Italia GT2).

Yeah but IIRC (watched the series you're thinking of on the YouTubez) the class where there are track cars also has equivalent performing GT4 or older Touring Cars.

Do you guys think that there will be a P4 (LMP4) class in the future? the GT's got such a thing (LMGT1, GT2/GTE, GT3 and GT4). Or will it replace the CN class (you know cars such as the Radical)?
Click to expand...

I don't think CN is getting replaced anytime soon. And no, there are no plans for P4 class.


Juim1j
And what is the future of the LMP1 class? Only one series uses it (WEC) and they are highly expensive. I'm fearing it will suffer like the GT1 class :(

P1 will be fine. Its basically only for teams with massive budgets. The only way it'll go the route of GT1 is by changing the name to GT1, only then will it be time to worry.

Juim1j
And in the future, are all existing protoypes (P1, P2, P3) going to have a closed top?
Click to expand...

Pretty much from what I've been seeing.

Juim1j
And PC (Prototype Challenge)? It´s going to get laid off with LMP3's.

While it hasn't been officially been said, the general consensus appears to be that its pretty much what will happen.

GT1 has bad luck tied to it.:banghead: But yeah P1 is fine, heck we've got rumors of another manufacturer or two coming in the next couple years it seems (car count at Le Mans this year is EPIC). And the closed top thing makes sense as you have drivers going up the LMP ladder (plus it's safer).

I guess your riht. Anyway thanks guys, I'm looking forwards to this year's SportsCar Racing (USCC, WEC, ELMS, ALMS, V de V and Supercar Challenge) ;)

They might need to revise the revisions. :p

One can argue Morgan and Ligier are the same, as both are done by OAK but technically the Morgan is a Pescarolo, which is a Courage with original chassis design dating back to mid 00's :p

Hmm...Morgan might leave as IIRC they haven't made any plans for a new car. Oh and we forgot Alpine. :lol:

That is a rebranded ORECA so does not count. Damn, I forgot Gibson (Zytek)!!!
 
And of course, there's the "Wolf" and "Caterham" cars we can't forget.

Dammit Lotus, look what you did.

To be fair, the Ligier is a classy looking car. Easily one of the best modern LMP designs of the last 5 years.

In person, it's not as good as the new Lola which looks surprisingly good in person. That Dome has to be best looking one though. The Ligier looks like a snow mobile to me on track. Still, the FIA/ACO helping their buddies Oreca and Onroak out by limiting the competition
 
Yikes! We also lost a flower pot and glass already, fortunately no damage on our roof so far.

Holy ****! How high are those winds?! :scared:

~150+ kph EDIT: With peaks far higher of course. A chimney fell down 25 meters from a factory in Munich, on to a boardwalk, fortunately no one was walking there at this time. Racing an LMP in these conditions would be crazy, good that the test at Paul Ricard is done.

Holy cow! Over 150 kph?! And it blew down a factory chimney?! :eek: Hopefully the wind dies down.
