I'm amazed at how those LMP cars passed the Corvette, almost like it was standing still.
Tons of downforce, lower weight, and those electrical engines (in the LMP1 cars) will do that. There's thought that they'll try to make the GT Pro cars a couple of seconds faster in 2016.
Weight & horsepower.
LMP1 - 1920 lbs C7R - 2750 lbs
The downforce only comes into play in the corners.
On a straight, it actually slows you down.
It's scary, especially at night. I was in a 25 hour race, in a Spec Miata and got passed by this car more than once.
and got passed by this car more than once.
