I want race cars to do for me ascetically what Victoria Justice does. Sadly, you have to go back to 2003 for the last really beautiful racing car that's been designed. This is what happens when math and science and the wind tunnel govern race car design as well as the desire to go fast, even if it's ugly as sin.

Looks more like one of those hovercars you get in futuristic shows

I do doubt that any math or science or wind tunnel had governed this particular render. And I'm unanimous in that.

Seems I guessed correctly! Glad to see Rebellion is going to be using/running a Peugeot or two. Although Oreca isn't mentioned in the PR so I didn't get it all right.

The one thing they seemed to have changed, which is a big one. Is changing the car from a front engined layout which would be great to see again after Nissans dismal failure back to a traditional mid engined layout going by the cockpit position. |

Oreca ending support of Toyota at the end of this WEC season after LM next year. Rumored to be going with Rebellion to Peugeot.

I guess they'll have to find somewhere else besides Paul Ricard to test at. Not sure what else Oreca really provides that Toyota can't cover. Especially after 7 years in the WEC. I can see a new(ish) team like Peugeot wanting their services with the recent experience though.

Oreca did provide 6-7 mechanics and technicians and David Flourey helped with some design aspects of the TS050's aero package it seems. It also seems that TMG did plan on Oreca moving on to another project as per the SC365 article they (TMG and Oreca) were planning on such a move for at least a couple of years.
As for testing, TMG are based in Cologne, which if I remember correctly isn't too far away from Nurburgring or Spa, and TMG both in the GT-One and current LMP era have frequently tested at Spa. |

The real question is what will Oreca provide Peugeot, they do know some Toyota tricks.

https://www.motorsport.com/wec/news/...ercar/4690632/ article talks about a deadline Peugeot has set for a decision on hypercar or lmdh. Also, he talks about the minimum weight difference between the two classes but nothing specific. But they do believe the regs between the two should be the same in terms of weight, power etc.

Details expected to be announced at LM.
LMH rather LMDh looking likely. http://www.dailysportscar.com/2020/0...t-le-mans.html |

Fingers crossed it is not another false start, but it would be difficult dropping the flag it this turns out to be another base less publicity stunt.

What...? The existence of the program is not in question. It was already announced at the end of last year. The questions are when is the debut and if it is still going to be LMH. Without covid delays we probably would have already had the answers a few months ago.

Yeah that was a massive shame when they pulled the plug. All that promise, then they decided to concentrate on other motorsports. We’ll see if lightning will strike twice here
