Jenson Button said this car is very efficient at cornering thanks to the huge engine torque, but lacked top speed due to its rear spoiler. You can actually in this video see that indeed after cornering at Arnage, Rockenfeller manages to stay on the tail of a LMP2 before eventually losing top speed. This car actually lapped faster than GTs like Porsche and Ferrari's. I was at Le Mans and this car was a fan favourite.

@patrickfuilleiut6878 - Yeah; I wish they would get rid of that rear trunk lid, spoiler. In my opinion, the car already has enough downforce they don’t need anymore. I’m sure if they got rid of the rear spoiler it’ll be a lot faster on the straights and It’ll catch up and even pass the LMP2 categories.

He is not slower as the LMP2 because of too much downforce. Due to a lot of downforce the LPM2 are much faster in the corners. And you can clearly see it. If the Nascar car would have raced Spa, the story would be completely different. Le Mans is quite high speed, good for a Nascar car. In Spa it will be destroyed

@@marcelx174 The car's main strength was its handling, so both Mechanical and Aerodynamic grip were good combined with the High Engine Torque. However the LMP2s had more efficient Aero, so they produced less drag for the amount of down force they have. Their downforce numbers are probably similar, hence why the Camaro could keep up in the corners, but on the straights it's the exact opposite.

It's not really a NASCAR. Watched a pit video where they talked about how little of the car is actually a Cup Car. They said the changed the length of the car, it's got wider custom made tires and wheels, carbon ceramic brakes, carbon fiber body, traction control, paddle shifters and 120liter fuel cell. The car did have to follow the rules like the other cars did. I wish NASCAR would make this exact car the new Cup Car. The cost is high $1.5M - $2M to build, but the racing would outstanding.

I wish someday Nascar had its own race within Lemans made from a few different cup teams from each manufacturer, and a rotation of drivers. Like Gibbs in Toyota, HMS in Chevy, Stewart-Haas in Ford, Penske in Ford, and maybe like 2 more teams. It would be cool to have 6 of these experimental cars with 2 cars each from Chevy, Toyota, and Ford racing in the Nascar cars at Lemans.

Jenson Button said this car is very efficient at cornering thanks to the huge engine torque, but lacked top speed due to its rear spoiler. You can actually in this video see that indeed after cornering at Arnage, Rockenfeller manages to stay on the tail of a LMP2 before eventually losing top speed. This car actually lapped faster than GTs like Porsche and Ferrari's. I was at Le Mans and this car was a fan favourite.

He is not slower as the LMP2 because of too much downforce. Due to a lot of downforce the LPM2 are much faster in the corners. And you can clearly see it.

@@marcelx174 The car's main strength was its handling, so both Mechanical and Aerodynamic grip were good combined with the High Engine Torque. However the LMP2s had more efficient Aero, so they produced less drag for the amount of down force they have. Their downforce numbers are probably similar, hence why the Camaro could keep up in the corners, but on the straights it's the exact opposite.

They said the changed the length of the car, it's got wider custom made tires and wheels, carbon ceramic brakes, carbon fiber body, traction control, paddle shifters and 120liter fuel cell. The car did have to follow the rules like the other cars did. I wish NASCAR would make this exact car the new Cup Car. The cost is high $1.5M - $2M to build, but the racing would outstanding.

I wouldn't put it that way, Hendricks and the team did their homework when converting an oval car to a track course car. These cars just aren't designed for them, so they did a good job. Hopefully this sets a precedent for NASCAR moving forward with road courses in the future.

Imagine it had active aero, specifically for the long straights? 😮
I always said the best thing about a Cup Car was the engine but they have moved on a lot with this Gen with some serious tweaks for Lemans, but I still say the same what an amazing pushrod V8 engine, NASCAR engine art is a serious thing.

So it should be. Do the maths on P/W and you'll see why.
I hope more NASCAR and Supercars based entries show up in endurance races.
