    @theodentherenewed4785 Рік тому +29

    I'm very interested in BoP between all these cars. It really matters in endurance racing, because any pace advantage over 24 hours grows to a gargantuan extent. Also there's a philosophical question of whether a factory-run class with many manufacturers is sustainable. Nobody wants to finish last, but if there's a pure race team, they may enjoy just the presence on the grid. But big brands don't hang around if they lose, they cut their losses and pull out. That's something that could happen in the hype car class. I'm spelling this in that way, because it's a weird name. And to make things weirder, the same class, as you pointed out, is called differently by IMSA and ACO, even though they agreed to converge their technical regulations to the same rulebook. It's a sign that they struck an agreement not because they wanted to, but because they had to to keep the grids big.

    • @eggselent9814
      @eggselent9814 Рік тому +34

      Ok so essentially there are races in a season, that go on for different amounts of time (6 hours, 8 hours and 24 hours in the case of Le Mans). Depending on the lenght of the races there are different amounts of points given to the highest placing cars (essentially the longer the races, the more points you get.) Drivers are usually placed into groups of 3 drivers who compete together as a team, it is possible, though to swap out drivers, which means if two drivers compete the full season and two drivers share the third place, only the two drivers that compete full time get all the points, while the others just for the races they competed in.
      The races are not just one race, but in the case of WEC 4 races in one race. And the points are given each to the class. So even if lets say a Hypercar is classified 10th in the race, but 4 LMP2 cars are ahead of him, he will still be classified P4 in the Hypercar class and get the points for P4.
      Class Nr. 1: The Hypercar class. Its the biggest and fastest class in the field. They are Hypercars and much cheaper than the previous LMP1 class and the video does a pretty good job of explaining this.
      Class Nr 2.: is the LMP2 class. It stands of Le Mans Prototype 2 and are essentially a slower, smaller and more homologated version of LMP1 cars. In this day and age, they are run mostly by private teams, not manufacturers and are in many cases mostly the same car parts and teams can only make small adjustments. In this class, you'll see the most familiar faces if you're an fan of many motorsports series (Like Seb Ogier, Antonio felix da Costa, Rene Rast etc.) And if i'm not completely wrong it uses also a rating system to keep teams on a more level playing field (explanation for that in the segment about class 4).
      Class Nr. 3 right now is the GTE Pro class, which won't exist next season, however it will be replaced by a class with GT3 Regulations if i'm not wrong. So essentially an endurance race with GT3-Cars, with it being the class the manufacturers want to win. You could say, this is the second most important class from a manufacturers standpoint.
      Class Nr. 4 is the GTE-Am class, which are not backed by any manufacturer. Its a GT class and mostly used for gentleman-drivers (for example famous actor Michael Fassbender). It is at a pretty level playing-field due to the fact that there is a rating system and only allows like one gold or higher rated, one silver rated and one bronze rated driver to compete as a team (ratings depend on expierience and success).
      So essentially an endurance race is 4 different smaller races in one big race with driver teams instead of drivers and with the manufacturers championship essentially more important in two of the classes than the drivers championship (different from F1)
      I hope this could make a bit more sense for you and i hope you'll get some enjoyment out of the WEC or IMSA :)

    • @eggselent9814
      @eggselent9814 Рік тому +13

      Oh yeah and i might want to add the BoP. It means Balance of Power and exists in many motorsports series. So essentially the fastest cars of lets say the first race get some success balast added onto their car to make their race more difficult, so just because you win one race, doesn't mean you'll win the next one. It levels the playing field a bit more and is very divisive.

    Great video, although the Aston isn't really a rumour. the car was under developement to enter the series in 2023 however due to the take over of Racing Point, Aston martin shelved the Valkyrie LMH to focus all their efforts on the F1 team and instead moved it to become the production version of the Valkyrie AMR Pro instead of the original AMR Pro concept, although without the horsepower restrictions related to it. The ACO even increased the motor unit horsepower to allow the valkyrie to compete which annoyed glickenhouse to no end when they pulled out as this increase had forced the 007to switch from an Alfa v6 to a Nissan V6 as the alfa engine couldn't make the increased power reliably where as the nissan engine could

    I'm so happy they are opening the regulations letting them run whatever engine, I wish F1 could do the same, ppl would say the costs will spiral but they're already spending crazy money. It's excellent so many manufacturers are joining, hopefully it'll have a snowball effect and attract more. It's cool that they've limited the downforce to an exact number so the cars can be designed anyway. the Australian touring cars have done the same, so the cars can look cooler and they're not effected as much by following another car.

    • @benistingray6097
      @benistingray6097 Рік тому +1

      As far as i know there are drag and downforce limits, PWR is also given and can/will be changed accordingly and probably pretty regularly in the beginning. These new "standardized" classes are probably much easier to get a fair BOP.
      In the end, no matter if a series has BOP or just depends on a certain set of rules, there will always be a certain "unfair" factor and politics will be involved in both anyways.
      All in all i personally think BOP is still great because it allows for interesting and close races for the viewers and more manufacturers/teams will participate because they can be competitive without money being the deciding factor.

    Overall good video but:
    - The entry summary at the end would have been best without the rumors (some which are really iffy).

    Interested to learn more about both. Drive to Survive sparked my interest but after a couple of seasons it was clear despite the amazing cars and drivers, F1 is not competitive enough for prolonged interest. I want to see cars that drive like they are on rails but I also want to see competition! I want to see competition in engineering as well as drivers and their respective teams. Wolff represents drivers on other teams (only in F1 is that not a conflict of interest). It seems like 30% of the teams in F1 are there to block for the big 3. So what alternatives exist? LMH in particular sounds very interesting and looks promising.

    6:34 Aston Martin actually planned to join the WEC with said Valkyrie but than acquired the Formula 1 team of RacingPoint and transformed it into a full works operation.

    6:35 Aston Martin kind of confirmed that they were going to enter the car. If u look under the Valkyrie AMR Pro page on their website, they say that the car was initially intended to be a Le Mans prototype (in fact, the Valkyrie as a whole was designed with the intention of being a Le Mans prototype), but the project was shelved. No one knows if it’s gonna be revived or if it’s shut down for good tho

    Great video. I have a question, what is the advantage over choosing LMH over LMDh (or vice versa) from a manufacturer’s perspective?
    It sounds like LMDh is cheaper, so why not just go with that? I get that LMH allows more freedom, but wouldn’t it be more expensive to make a car that will race alongside the LMDh cars anyway?

    • @FormulaJonah
      @FormulaJonah  Рік тому +3

      Glad you enjoyed! I think it’s about weather the manufacturer is ok with supplied with parts or wants to do it themselves, both have their benefits though. For instance, you probably won’t see a Ferrari LMDh, since Ferrari want to do pretty much everything on their own, where it seems Porsche are more open to the idea of LMDh. Personally I feel LMDh is the better option here, but LMH cars could be faster then LMDh, so honestly they both have their ups and downs and there isn’t really a better one or worse one so to speak.

    In a previous video, you explained that Cadillac will run one IMSA LMDH car this year and one dedicated to WEC Hypercar class. It sounded as if there are minor technical compliance changes that the car must meet. Could we have a summary of those? LMDH to LMH Hypercar class?

    • @FormulaJonah
      @FormulaJonah  Рік тому +2

      To my knowledge there shouldn’t be any compliance changes to force a team to run a specific amount of cars. I think it’s more if Cadillac want to run more then one car in each series. For instance in IMSA, two teams will run the Cadillac, Action Express and Chip Ganassi and both teams run 1 car. However, at big events like Daytona there will be 3 Cadillac’s, with the addition of Chip Ganassi’s LMDh from the WEC, and then at Le Mans it will be the same. The teams from IMSA will bring over their cars to compete with the WEC Chip Ganassi Cadillac. Hope this info helps!
