Yeah, I thought I recalled them raising a stink about the "cartel" of approved vendors and them being put out of business by not allowing them in. Especially given how at the time they couldn't do worse than Riley did with the first attempt

Hindy suggested in commentary for the Mid Ohio IMSA race that Porsche may be considering running the old RS Spyder V8 in their LMDh.

It'll be really stupid if Bentley decides to forego its GT3 V8 and goes with an Audi DTM engine. But I fear they'll go the path of minimum change. A livery and some round headlights.

some time ago read about audi considered their DTM L4 to endurance use, but the engine had huge vibrations issues.

Still part? Lol. Yes very much so! Brilliant cars.

And they have raced at Le Mans. Lovely car it was too.

Anyway, aren’t Porsche thinking of the V8 and the Audi the DTM engine?

in this case

multimatic + V8 porsche = porsche lmdh
multimatic + V8 porsche + white/red/black = audi lmdh
multimatic + V8 porsche + pea green = lamborghini lmdh
multimatic + V8 porsche + racing green = bentley lmdh
multimatic + V8 porsche + white/green/black = skoda lmdh
multimatic + V8 porsche + metallic gray/red details = seat rebadged as cupra lmdh
multimatic + V8 porsche + bleu de france = bugatti lmdh
multimatic + V8 porsche + red but only 2 wheels = ducati lmdh

After the last episode of TWISC, is this where we are?

LMH
Toyota
Glickenhaus
Peugeot
Ferrari

LMDh
Multimatic - Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini, Bentley

Oreca - Acura, BMW, McLaren, Alpine?

Dallara - GM

Ligier - Alpine?

And concern raised about the ability, or even willingness, of the chassis constructors to service LMP2. We could be in a situation where other constructors (Duqueine?) are prevented from building an LMP2 by others who have no intention of doing so.

But yeah, let's not forget Seat and its new offshoot, the Cupra, which will look exactly like the Seat LMDh but with some copper badging and will cost a lot more.

That is a really good point about chassis availability, and do we think the ACO will just then continue to allow the current batch of LMP2's to race? That would alleviate the chassis supply issue for a few years.

So far it looks VAG has an exclusive deal with Multimatic. Is there an technical advantage for them compared to other manufacturers? I mean VAG can put all their design and development know-how into the new Multimatic chassis. Multimatic on their turn can take advantage from it for the new LMP2 car.

Graham seemed to think we might not see the new LMP2s until 2024 or maybe even 2025.

On the top of that, Ligier is involved with Peugeot in their LMH program for a CFD point of view.
