So very tempted by this, but I feel the locks on the house would be changed if I did!!

According to DSC that is the high downforce nose, not LM spec.

I'd be surprised if that's not the new low downforce kit. The wheel arches and headlights are certainly optimised for low drag.
Edit: Rebellion have the low-downforce kit for their R13 running for the first time (above) whilst the Ligiers are testing with their the 2018 low-downforce bodywork rather than the high-downforce kit used at the ELMS weekend. |

I find that weird considering that Lopez last year was the rookie with them and had little racing experience but ended up being the fastest guy in the #9 Toyota

True, but speed and experience are not the same thing and the latter is arguably more significant at Le Mans.

I hope there's no sandbagging in lmp1. I don't think it's going to get the private teams anywhere or anything extra if they do. |

With the weather looking good for the test weekend, how close do people think the non hybrid LMP1's will get to the lap times of the toyota's, i am hoping they (well the quickest) will be within 2 or 3 seconds, what do you all think

I think they will encounter all manner of niggly problems which will prevent them from running at their full potential.

Are we talking about the toyota's or the others, hopefully it is too late for sandbagging

I could see all the LMP1 runners not wanting to show their pace for bop politics purposes, but honestly I think the teams will be better served giving it all they got to see what happens with their cars. |

I agree, but I do expect a fairly significant level of sandbagging. It's nowhere near too late for that.....

For GT maybe, but EOT/BOP for LMP1 can be changed during race week based on the test weekend.

As Graham G just said on MWM, look out for quick sectors but maybe not quick laps.

Question is also how could they do it. They can't with the engine, Aero is also more or less final (or is it). Maybe they can tinker with setup and suspension. But I think ACO is predicting that private teams will find more performance during test day and race than Toyota.
I would really like to see privateers beating Toyota on per lap basis, but in the long run (stint length, tires, strategy) odds will still be in favor of Toyota. |
