Im done with it. Ive tried to be nice about Kolles for years, i liked that they bought something different to the grid in a world where everything is going spec racing. Id love to see this car on the grid, it sounds fantastic and looks great too but you know what? I wish he would get as far away as possible. Guys a joker.

Sometimes I think Kolles does this on purpose so they don't have to race.

At least that the car had to go to Hinwil and go through the homologtion wind tunnel since it was there this week.

Regarding the brand, now that they have an electric car (that famous modified Hyundai) on the market they could run as a ByKolles or PMC or whatever, they don't need the Vanwall name anymore. They are in the same situation as SCG. My guess is this is the reason they started this EV thing in the first place : get some cover in case of lawsuit defeat.

I mean the fact they have to pretend to be a manufacturer is the real problem with the ACO approval process. Having to be an actual manufacturer is the least Le Mans thing ever.

That is the most likely scenario, as what are the chances of the team renting that tunnel? Has to be quite pricey.

ByKolles Confident in Vanwall Reliability at “Normal Tracks”
That is a beautiful quote! Covering your backside I'd say

https://sportscar365.com/lemans/wec/...normal-tracks/


Quote:
“We are confident that we have a reliable package on normal tracks. Sebring will be a surprise, maybe in terms of performance and also in terms of reliability. For us, it’s more [of] a surprise than for others.
What does that mean? that they haven't really tested?

Think he means they've not tested at Sebring - or anywhere with it's car-shaking characteristics. So he's sort of predicting a few random things could go wrong.

Well the key is to make sure the things go wrong in test sessions. So if you've done enough testing, you've done your preparation.

The slow speed stuff in races can be tricky too for new cars. Lots of incidents with electrics and hybrids at LM , Spa and other races.

Do LMH have a replaceable electrics pack like the LMDh/GTP cars or are they all different? A 5 to 10 minute change would be a good thing.
