minus-squareBandanaBug@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoYes i see. I’m just amazed they abandoned the no wing thing after stirring up so much about it
minus-squaresupermarkus@feddit.orgOPMlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoRelying solely on ground effect was doomed to fail. No race track is perfectly smooth, especially a certain road course in France… The wingless cars will come to the next ALMS season: https://sportscar365.com/lemans/asian-lms/bbm-takes-delivery-of-wingless-peugeot-9x8s/
minus-squareBandanaBug@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoFor sure. It’s why it was banned to begin with. I applaud them for their efforts though. They made a fuss about it when they announced it. Kinda sad they couldn’t pull through, made the car quite unique (and prettier than this one!)
They added a wing??
