Alright when was that again.....?

There is probably no AC mod for this, is there?

Dead in the water. Hydrogen rules still on track for 2024, who's gonna bother with this? Peugeot promised to join in 2012 too & broke that even with a car in testing. Toyota have said they'll never do LMDh because they use endurance racing to develop their own hybrid tech.

Bloody long lap. Its about the full 200 mile distance around.

Unless there's a catch I'm not seeing, this is some really encouraging news. This was the promise of the hypercar spec: it was going to attract manufacturers, both new and lapsed. Having a Peugeot at LeMans seems like a pretty sweet deal to me.

The funny thing is that they are all prototypes in the end except for Glinckenhaus I think xD
I guess building a rulebook around BoP got their attention more than anything

Cool, AC modders get ready!

 

[Tombprince]

Cool, Simbin modders get ready!

Fixed Mainly because GTr 2 makes for a more fleshed out endurance simulator than AC plus the price is dirt cheap these days

update:Yep it's only 8 bucks CAD https://store.steampowered.com/app/8790/GTR_2_FIA_GT_Racing_Game/

So any manufacturer could bolt his ICE to that drivetrain and run a car? Would be cool to see diversity.

 

[ATSSHD]

Porsche confirmed too?

While both LMH and LMDh will have BoP, if BoP was the deciding factor for Peugeot, wouldn't they have chosen to do a LMDh car since it would be cheaper?

They chose to do a Hypercar because it allows them to express their technology more.

VAG jumped of the green end, doubt they'd go anywhere near real motorsport again with new endeavours.

Aston Martin should be out for good too.

It's looking like at least Porsche and maybe Audi potentially will be in LMDh at least.

 

[Midnight⠀]

Glad to hear that they got the basics layed down and that Porsche concept art picture looks really nice, dishing out the mixture of a modern LMP1 and late 90s GT1 prototype cars.

We are really going all on in the cyberpunk theme for the 2020s

 

[Knoxstar]

The Eurovision announcer said they could be looking at up to a dozen manufacturers in a few years time depending on the pandemic issues for the LMh and LMDh top category.

 

[Raikku]

Most important thing would be that compability between europe and usa.

 

[PegaMixel]

Thats not gonna happen. It will forever be DPi and LMP.

Daytona Prototype imperial, Le Metric Prototype

Would love it if Kunos did a sim of these new cars.

 

[Nick Gregory]

Cool, AC modders get ready!

Get ready for poorly made bodies plopped on top of Kunos cars then.

No. They said above the BoP allows for freedom on "general shape", they want a design that can identify the brand and they won't have to spend a ton of money making it possible thanks to BoP
Also technically you can buy a base P2 and build the rest on your own and call it a hypercar, the difference is that you'd get the more powerful hybrid option and save on crash test homologation
And the BoP is between both platforms + all cars in the grid so whatever you pick you'll be fine, again: thanks to BoP.
There is no way Peugeot would be back if current rules were kept with those high costs, if it was the case they wouldn't have left to begin with.
