I guess a solution would be spoiler tags. Can we just not argue over it though?

Anyway, Audi have began work on their 2016 car apparently

People are arguing about a length of a post. Meanwhile I'm wondering how some of these people even found this thread.

Nothing new there's a few dodgey stories like this in Motorsport on all levels.

I hear F1 is full of that

Most of the time being the main idea, they even have a troll that indirectly promotes it

TVR is looking to Le Mans return.

First they need to focus on making any road cars at all.

First they need to focus on making any road cars at all.

Then they need to focus on them actually being able to last, and after about 10 years then we shall see them

Do they even make cars anymore?

They're planning a return soon.

"Roaring back" apparently.

Sounds about like they'll be roaring back to the repair shop after about 10 minutes

10? That's quite a long time for a TVR

Do you really think it'll even start in the first place?

I would think you'd make it off the lot

As long as they provide AA trucks

 

[R0ssingt0n]

I remember last year at Le Mans whilst queueing to get into the circuit I drove past about 4 TVR's that had broken down/overheated hahaha

 

[trustjab]

Autohebdo (french motoring magazine) says that Nissan was testing 18" front wheels in addition to the 'regular 16 inch' wheels at Sebring. Look at this picture, its hard to tell but the tirewall and relative brake size in comparison to the wheels makes it apparent.

There is also talk on the new R18; Loic Duval feels they could dip into the 3:19's!

 

[RACECAR]

Man, they are cutting it close with those 16 inch ones at the rear.

 

[GTPorsche]

Now is the time for them to figure out which tire package works best for their new, radically designed car.

 

[trustjab]

I guess the logic behind it is better braking stability from larger discs with the 18" wheels. Thats the thoughts of a few in discussion on mulsannescorner's facebook. It may stem from hybrid brake regen. If theyre not getting what they thought in terms of energy recovery, which aids braking, maybe they have to step up the braking power?

Also, the issue that caused the stoppage at Sebring was a chassis to engine mounting failure?

 

[GTPorsche]

That does sound like a part failure that would prevent them from fixing it on location.

Jumped in here and wanted to ask who are the contenders for the LMP1 win this year? Or will it be yet another audifest in your humble opinions?

The season hasn't even started yet and we still don't know the specs for the cars?
