I think Peugeot could be the dark horse for this race and could take points which will be lacking to another, or several, teams. What if they can't make it? Better not think about this…

I thought last year they should've been strong in Bahrain but they weren't. Hard to tell with this car but good result is very needed so they don't axe the project.

lol Pick a new three every year, rinse and repeat? We'll see how it goes. i think Ferrari will be the quickest over a lap. Lets see how the various strategies and collision avoidance plays out. |

Yes. I don't think they will throw the towel before end of 2026. Its not only Pug but Stellantis Motorsport too. It must be hard for them to fully appreciate Alpine team's level of performance.

Don't they have the fuel tank sizes as equal? How do you find this out?

Maybe, but tomcug has info or a theory on how much fuel they put in for a stint. This is a differentiator between cars as total energy is controlled, but how much fuel you need for this could be a performance factor. One we can’t really see directly in stint lengths anymore.
Why is the Porsche particularly bad here as suggested? Last edited by Adam43; Today at 05:32. |

It thus follows that the LMH cars with the larger hybrid and recovery capabilities (200kw LMH vs 50kw LMDh) carry less fuel because they can recover more energy in the brake zones due to the higher power, larger capacity energy recovery system. It's another layer of complexity and something that is overlooked by the BOP naysayers when they see that the Toyota and the Ferrari are regularly heavier than the LMDh cars. LMDh cars qualifying well is a key marker for race performance and the health of the BOP for that weekend. If the LMDh cars are not competitive in qualifying, then they typically will be even less competitive in the race because they will be even heavier relative to the LMH on a full tank of fuel compared to when they are running qualifying fuel loads.

It doesn't seem that bop takes into account fuel capacity. So my question was how do you find that out? I don't know if that's ever been published by the bulletins. Say lmdh style cars do require more fuel because of the lower amount of hybrid energy, is that really the reason for Toyota and Ferrari (and Isotta earlier) to run heavier minimum weights? Or is it going hand in hand that they're compensating lmdh for the disadvantage of having less hybrid/electric power? That was something that I thought when they were starting this bop.

It's something no one will ever comment about officially. But I think the theory is correct. About LMH vs LMDh weight offset, it's both for fuel load and to balance tyre wear as AWD helps with that too. Again, this is just my theory
