Im starting to lose hope in the Hypercar tbf, had a full season in IMSA where it’s been very inconsistent and even worse this year. So far in WEC its looked to just lack pace.

I'm withholding judgement until next season. RLL is a pretty average team (IMSA, IndyCar), so I don't think they were nearly as helpful to development as Penske was to Porsche. WRT are winners, and I hope this translates to developing the car further.

Porsche thinks the other teams were sandbagging.
BMW thinks the FIA penalty given to Kubica for crashing out Vanthoor was insufficient. So it sounds like Business as usual at 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Very cool. I’ve been there but not for the race. How did you get the aerial shots? Did you have a drone?
