This is where all the cool kids will be spamming up from now until collapsing in a heap on Sunday afternoon:

https://discord.gg/UjKFbBt

(Discord is a laptop/tablet/phone discussion app that's a bit like skype, but better. We can share the same 6 TBK meme pictures and even talk voice-ily during the race.
Sold it well enough? Well whatever, I don't get paid for this shit
See you there)

The Ford GT sounds like it has a blown diffuser. No other car sounds anything like it through Tetre Rouge

Sheesh, that closing rate between GT and prototype drivers is going to lead to a huge accident. I hope I'm wrong.

If it looks stupid, but it works, it is not stupid.

This will be interesting.

The Panoz does sound sound however. Quite a simple design.

Quote:
This ‘hot swapping’ is something which an Israeli organisation called ‘Project Better Place’ has trialled extensively on production cars, while the company behind that struggled financially the concept is sound.

Drive for the GT-EV comes from two electric motors, one mounted at the front of the composite I-beam chassis, and the other at the rear, these drive the front and rear wheels respectively.

It is a layout that harks back to the Andy Granatelli STP-Paxton turbo car which raced at Indianapolis in 1967 and 1968.
