I’ve been a huge LeMans fan since that year Audi had the brilliant idea to make the entire rear section of the car a replaceable element, cutting a gearbox change from most of an hour to 5 minutes. ACO changed the rules after that but it still gave an example of both the level of innovation possible, and the fact that the engineers and mechanics remain an active part of the team until 4:00 on Sunday. This year did not disappoint. After 23-1/2 hours, the two leading cars were still on the same lap. And hearts stopped when the leading Ferrari had trouble restarting after their last fuel stop. It’s simply brilliant.

*Worth noting!* This video is specific to the 24 Hours of Le Mans race (and more specifically, Cadillac's LMDh build), and doesn't dive into the differences between LMDh & LMH, WEC & IMSA, and the differences between the cars used in each (for example, LMH cars can have 200kW of electric power). As an introductory video on the subject, I didn't want to constantly have to clarify between different acronyms. Something I think Formula 1 does really well are their educational pieces surrounding technical aspects of the sport - would be great to see the same out of WEC/IMSA!

It's specific to the LMDh tech regs, in fact. LMH run at the 24 Hours of Le Mans (one won it, even). So you can't really say that at Le Mans they are limited to 30kW electric, because they really aren't. LMDh specifically are. ;) Might seem nit-picky, and I get your point of the confusing acronyms, but that shouldn't stand in the way of facts. ;) P.S.: another nit-pick, if you put the electric motor on the front axle, then you definitely have more than 30kW, since only LMH can do it. :)

@@sidewalkere I was about to pick that nit myself, because LMDh's *HAVE* to be hybrid. They get no choice in the matter, but the flip-side of that is that for LMDh's that isn't their part.... Cadillac, Porsche, BMW & Acura (*cough*Honda*cough*, in IMSA-only at the moment) (as of next year to be joined by Alpine's A424Beta) do not supply the electric motor and battery themselves, that comes from a set of suppliers that adhere to the same spec for each. The result is that costs are controlled, for the most part. This is both for WEC and IMSA. Ferrari, Toyota, Peugeot, Glickenhaus, and Vanwall don't have this limitation being LMH's, with Ferrari, Peugeot & Toyota being the hybrids in that category. In fact I highly suspect that the reason to you are seeing Ferrari in WEC (and therefore taking LeMans) has alot to do with the F1 cost cap and their rather heated displeasure at it. Ferrari loved to toss money that that division of the company, it part of the reason that it was founded. So when FIA said "None of that, here is a cost cap", Ferrari quickly spun up a LMH project and did what they wanted with the money. I am not sure if that was the direct response but the result speaks for themselves. Then there is Peugeot's ground effect car, with wild aero and no rear wing....... Yeah, LMH's can take some liberties. Also, I am not so sure that the rotary in an option for the powertrain, last that I heard on that is that it was banned outright after the 787B legendary run.... but that was for the Group C rules and the times.... they have changed, I am not so sure that the ban still applies.

The biggest problem I have wit BOP is that there is the chance that you simply have to be lucky to have the best package without actually having the best package because the officials messed up the BOP. For example this year a Ferrari won the N24H the first time. The 296GT3 is a new car so officials have little data for it and when I watched the race I immidiately saw how fast the car was compared to the others on the long straight. They were pretty much given the victory on the silver plate. It's simply not fair. And at Le Mans Toyota, although I'm no Toyota fan got hit by BOP before the weekend more than any other car.

They were not pleased with it at the time. Today? Do you think that they care? As for the N24H... I can see the problem with that because the only racing data on the 296GT3 was at IMSA. They are not connected with the endurance or GT circuits and a new car harms that since it's just out of the blue for all purposes. Next year is going to be a handful.

Would like to see greater novelty in car construction. Here is one race series we came up with: 1) each grid (the set of cars that show up for the race) is ranked higher (ie. closer to pole position for the race start) for grid positions as the size of their engine shrinks. So a 2-cylinder engine has a qualifying advantage to a 4- or 6-cylinder engine 2) absolutely no limits to the engine construction. 2-stroke, or 4-stroke, or diesel, or rotary, or some novel design - only requirement is the engine must run on no greater than 93 octane pump gas (mixed with 2-stroke oil for a 2-stroke motor) or pump-grade diesel. Limit of 1 liter max. 3) each car is ranked higher up the grid as the team budgets shrink. So a team that spends $100k is ranked higher on the grid than a team that spends $500k 4) absolute limit of $1 million for the team budget 5) there must be 5 cameras on each car: cockpit, front-facing, rear-facing, and one facing outward from each side So the race will consist of 1- or 2-cylinder engines, and really cheap cars. This will get rid of the 'throw money at the problem' people who basically ruined F1. It will shift emphasis back to HUMAN CLEVERNESS in engineering. F1 and Indy car had much more freedom for car design in the past (remember the turbine cars from Lotus and Granetelli at the Indy 500?) Colin Chapman's ground effects and so many other design novelties would never be allowed - all designs are set and heavily influenced by Mercedes, et al. *_FORMULA ONE has become as exciting as WATCHING A GUY PLAY MINIATURE GOLF FOR 2 HOURS_* They forgot that racing is a SPECTATOR sport. NOVELTY is why people will pay for tickets. Not sameness. SAMENESS lacks the appeal of novelty. You want to see some real racing? Watch the Isle of Man TT. Or the Megavalanche bike downhill, the winter version .

The latter was made on the basis of the LMP1 car after Porsche pulled out of Le Mans after 2017. The Evo had none of the limiting factors of its Le Mans cousin, it currently holds the overall Nürburgring Record.

1 rule, petrol, 4 stroke engine. 2 rule, not more than 500kw. There goes the Audi Diesel engine that walloped all comers, and the Mazda Wankel engine that won it’s only race. Rather a pity we couldn’t see these developing further as race engines, particularly the diesel as it used less fuel over the course of the race.

World Endurance Championship (especially Le Mans) is so much more entertaining than F1. Was at Le Mans 24 Hours in 2022, and at tye Le Mans Classic right now. The variety of sounds and shapes, as well as changes in lead and the number of classes within a race make it so much more fun.

Speaking of BoP, the ACO/FIA really have to to consistent on that area because currently they really are not. The 24H race was a bit smeared by this sudden BoP change which has been done without manufacturers agreement (especially after saying there will be no further changes back in Spa). Tyre warmers which are also "un-banned" just for Le Mans because one historical brand couldn't get their tyres warm enough without it *cough* Ferrari *cough*

It’s down to RPM. If you look at IndyCar and F1 the engines on paper are very similar (minus the hybrid system) but F1 cars rev much higher. When was the last time you seen an IndyCar engine blow up? Almost never. They could rev them higher but they don’t for reliability.

Thank you for years of informative videos. How about a discussion on the physical/chemical/functional properties required for automotive fluids other than gasoline and motor oil. Why does brake fluid have to be so hygroscopic? Why can't engine oil serve as clutch/transmission fluid? - it does in my motorcycles. How does ATF fluid differ from transmission oil, and why? Do the additives in the more expensive radiator fluids really make a difference. (You could probably skip discussion of windshield washer fluid...). Thanks again for these great engineering videos.

How would you say the F1 domination eras are different from LeMans being dominated by Toyota Gazoo Racing, Porsche and Audi during the last decade? Or are these new BoP regs meant curb exactly that and they weren't in play during those eras?
@AndyChittum
Жыл бұрын
Just like in F1, Le Mans eras are bounded by large rule changes. The ultra high cost LMP1 years of the early 2000s led to diesel eras with Audi and Peugeot, which gave way to a hybrid era with Audi, Porsche and Toyota. The current era is partly related to working with IMSA in the US to synchronize some rulesets to make it easier for the many US teams to race at Le Mans. IMSA has knock down drag outs with Acura, BMW, Caddie, Porsche, maybe Lamborghini next year....but yeah, all of that better chance to win gives manufacturers incentive to spend the big bucks to take their cars racing. And the racing is very good.

I don't think Mercedes/Red Bull domination is the same thing with TGR "domination" in WEC. In F1, all cars are practically equal, but in WEC, they have different classes, and only one class that could won in overall race, it's Hypercar class (or previously called LMP1). Now back when TGR is "dominating", TGR practically is the only one competing in that class as they're the only full fledged factory team with full support from Toyota, translate that to F1, the situation back then is like Mercedes/Red Bull winning every race where all other competitors in the grid is either some teams that runs a modified F2 machinery or Haas. And it's shows that now, there is other full fledged teams joining in (like Cadillac, Porsche, Ferrari, or BMW next year), TGR started to losing their dominance, like losing this year 24h of lemans for example.

I watched the whole race on via the 26 hour youtube video. One thing I noticed was, I think cadillac was the only team using electric launch from the pits, noticeable by the fact the car would lurch violently as it rolled away and the engine BARKED to life as it was being essentially bump started. I think it was the eventual winning ferrari that was having starter issues, which would have been eliminated by the electric drive out and bump start technique. I seem to remember the Audis and Toyotas from years past taking the same pit launch method as well. I'm wondering why that seems to be abandoned now. I forget which car it was, but one especially as it left the pit box would whine like it was tearing hell's gates off it's hinges, then EXPLODE into life like someone just said **** it and blew the gates off. It was a glorious sound. :D

While this ruleset seems to penalize good engineering in pure performance terms, I would argue it still promotes engineering excellence - just in a different way. With performance all being equal, the emphasis becomes reliability, durability, and repairability. If the other car blows a turbo and you don't, you win. If it takes them 5 minutes to change a brake rotor and you can design yours to take 4 minutes, you've got an advantage there too. If your cars have the same ultimate pace but theirs can only keep it up for 2 hours and yours can maintain that pace for 24, you win. A great example of this is the Frikadelli Ferrari at the N24 this year - it blew a tyre and wrecked the rear bodywork, but because the car was so incredibly well engineered for rapid repair they had an entire new rear bodyshell on it in 20 seconds and went on to win the race.

I have to disagree. The purpose of racing is perfection, the fact that people like to watch it is secondary. Competition brings out the best in everyone so you want there to be classes but every driver is different, every car is different, so we need a little wiggle room.

Maybe a suggestion for next video. Since F1 won't use BoP, do you think that engine rules from LMP1H*, some lift-to-drag aero regulation (i.e free in first year or rule cycle, and an avg of top 2 teams from 2nd year onwards), + development tokens (like they did in 2021 except that teams in the back would get more than teams in the front, imagine if RBR couldn't update their cars because they are P1) would make engineers, drivers and fans happy and bring the grid closer? *I don't know if you followed the LMP1H era, it was similar to LMH but more freedom and total power and those cars accelerated faster than F1 due to 1000hp AWD from low speeds. The best modern racing regulations ever but unfortunately the money for it is in F1, not in Le Mans so it didn't las long there.

F1 is a constructor championship, and it's working 100% fine for that goal. People who complain about F1 don't understand the purpose of F1. It's a competition of who can build the best car. Introducing BoP or anything similar to that would be insane given those goals.

You forgot the other end, BoP serves the open door to more manufacturers. Mnfrs want to run what the brung in GT, meaning, Cars that they sell. Mnfrs don't want to spend to build some special they have to sell at a very low volumes, so they can be successful in GT racing. That is very expensive, and maybe the costumer market doesn't see us like that, so we probably won't be successful selling a car for a million or more dollars. Run what you bring, BoP allows for competition and the potential for success, even though the platform isn't the best config for racing.
