    This race was closer then I thought it would be. But you can see where both cars were good at. Group C had the Horsepower and could just fly on the straights. Where as with the LMP1 had the downforce to make up for its lack of horsepower in the corners. If this was the Porsche LMP1 it would gave been a different story

    True. Early 90 le mans cars were pulling more than 6k lbs at 200mph of downforce. I think group c1 likw peugeot 905 and ts010 were st the record highest reaching up to 10 000lbs at 200mph. Never seen since in homologated racing. The new cars just have better tires, springs, brakes etc. But much less downforce than 30 yeara ago. Ts010 was famous for cracking guys ribs during cornering.

    @@Tstahl962 in qualifying group C cars used throwaway engines with crazy turbo pressure pushing up to 1000hp, in racetrim power was quite lower because of reliability issues and most of all because cars could refuel a fixed amount of fuel across the whole race so drivers were instructed to alternate full attack pace to way way slower pace in order to stay into the consumes range, generally speaking in racetime overall power rarely was over 800hp. 400km/h in racetrim were scored only by few cars like WM peugeot that purposely sealed all the air ducts in order to get that record at cost of retirment after few laps. Long story short, in race trim top speeds of group C cars were way lower than qualifying, that's why is unlikely that a sauber, a porsche or a jaguar could go that fast at speed trap of first chicane in race trim.

This particular body kit was for sprint races, and was intended for normal WEC rounds, not the low down force LeMans aero package, which would have been much more trimmed down, without the big front force planes, and brake scoops. I don't know how accurate the model of the car is for that, as I doubt anyone involved with the project has released official down force and drag numbers to the public.

    This doesn't show the reality of it at all: - the Sauber C9 ran its 1989 pole in 3'15 - the best Porsche 962C made it in 3'19 the same year - Brun Motorsport's Porsche 962C was the second one in 3'20 Next year with the Hunaudières chicanes added: - best Porsche 962C, Brun Motorsport (with the very same drivers as in 1989): 3'33 Being the faster car, the C9 would definitely have ran that under 3'30, probably close to the Nissan R90CK pole of 1990 (3'27), if not a tad faster. Game engines cannot quite reflect what these old cars were like. While many aspects were probably inferior to modern cars (autonomy, fuel mapping, tyres), the leading group C cars produced stellar levels of ground effect downforce, much more than the F1s of that era. That was ideal for Le Mans, and probably better than what modern cars may achieve.

    Well tbh, the Nissan was not an LMP1. It should have been one but the development was not even a year. When they arrived at Le Mans, there was no hybrid system ready so it was a front engined front wheel driven Prototype with only half the power and half the braking energy of a real LMP1. Also because of the then never suitable and always too cold tires the were slow as fuck... Sadly this project never had a chance, while I believe this concept was promising when taken seriously and with a certain amount of development time. I mean even without the hybrid system they were the fastest car on the straight...

    The project was a joke. They never should have gone to Le Mans in 2015. They should've stuck to testing for the rest of the year and then entered Sebring and Spa the following year to get race ready. The problem was that Nissan always wanted maximum publicity without spending the money of running a sustainable team that races for years. Hence gimmicks like the Deltawing, EZOD etc and not proper efforts at winning.

    laptime of nissan gt-r lm is correct but not how it got it... since the flywheel hybrid was never actually working because it was just junk, nissan picked the up the 2MJ energetic class, so because of the lowest ERS class the car had higher fuel flow values that granted much more than 500hp of your specs (realistically not less than 600hp), infact the car wasn't that slow in the speed trap of first straight, it could go 330km/h rather than just 315km/h. On the other side your nissan is way more "optimist" about aero... I see in your video it could get into the porsche sector at 240km/h... that was just a wet dream for the real car that had poor and underdeveloped aero, terrible understeer due most of weight on front and suspensions so unstable and awful that drivers simply couldn't even run over kerbs... likely it had a better corner speed than a group C car, but not that good like your video. BTW rebellion R13 and BR1 were lmp1 with about 750hp at LM and they were in the range of 340km/h at first straight speed trap, considering group C cars were slightly more powerful in race trim but had way worse aero, I doubt they could go 360km/h at first chicane speed trap (not to mention that they needed much more space to brake)

The car reached 407 kph but it was the value of 405 kph which was recorded (because Peugeaot was launching its 405 car). But the Mercedes also broke the 400 kph value.
