    14:41: This is incorrect. Toyota did NOT have to pit for a splash of fuel. ALL of the Hypercars pitted once in the 40-50 minutes for full or close to full tank of fuel. The difference was the Ferrari was on a different fuel strategy because it had to make unscheduled stop somewhere in the last 2 hours or so to close a loose passenger side door. They also filled the car up with fuel and then did a final stop in the last 45 minutes for just enough energy to get the car to the finish. It finished with 2% energy left which would not have gotten the car halfway around another lap. Lopez also lost 15 seconds with a spin in the hour which aided Nielsen even more with his fuel saving efforts.

    I think it's more impressive than anything else that Porsche and Cadillac were able to stay in the race and challenge for the win considering they were at a MAJOR (not minor) disadvantage due to their respective cars being RWD. I'm still heartbroken by the fact that Porsche didn't come away with the win, but this makes me even more proud of my team.

    There was a lot of great racing and great finish. But, there were many penalties or no calls that were questionable. And, the when the rain hit the track and the FIA refused to call in a wet track until a number of cars went off into barriers was awful. The FIA should be forced to pay the repair bills for that gaff. The 4 hour parade under yellow was maybe not popular, but it was bad rain and some fog for awhile. All-and-all, it was a fantastic race, that I really enjoyed.

    While I agree having AWD helps greatly in wet conditions, arent the rules that the LMH cars can only activate the front electric motors for AWD above a certain speed?

    • @lucaspiredda7677
      @lucaspiredda7677 Місяць тому +5

      LMDhs are way cheaper to develop than a full on LMH prototype given the amount of 'off the shelf' spec parts that are purchased by the manufacturer at a fixed price, such as the battery, electric motor, transmission and the monocoque. Of course, you need a close relationship with your chassis manufacturer in order for the car to be developed as a whole. Also, because of the amount of spec parts, in order to be competitive, you need to invest a lot of resources in developing the software for the fly-by-wire braking and the regen. Even then, it's way cheaper than the total development cost of a LMH prototype. With the help of BoP, there's no need to spend more.
