I can hardly wait to see the C7R.
What car are those stated stats for? Guessing C6 ZO6?

The intake ports on these race engines are TINY. I couldnt believe how small the ports in the heads are. They used to be huge pre restrictor, then they made them smaller and started engineering with the restrictors in place.

Ok, thanks. I thought there was something that was under the 100ft mark for braking?

Thanks for the correction.

Come on guys, don't moan about the unfair rules in European Motorsport.
My heart has beaten for American cars since ever, and I would never watch
"Le Mans" if there were no American cars!
The Europeans are as they are, especially the Germans. There has to win an Audi, Porsche
or what ever and the Ferraris have their own agency, the FIA.
So you should do what you did in the Sixties when the Ford GT 40s has beaten
the Ferraris and Porsches, these were the glory days. You should repeat them
and beat the Europeans!!!

Well, that makes sense. If cross sectional area of the intake ports are defined to be "X", then flow through ports of X cross sectional area would flow better under dynamic circumstances than flow in a larger port (runner) that collides (read: reversion) with the edges of a restrictor plate jutting into the column of air.

I wonder if the total sum of the cross sectional area of the intake ports on Chevrolet's V8s is the same as that of the V12s they're competing against? Anybody know??

I've kinda lost the trail, but is the factory Team Corvette competing in GT1 class for this race, or GT2??

GT1 and GT2 are gone, they have a GT Pro and GT AM classes, GT Pro for the factory vette, and I believe there is a French team running GT AM

Labre competition. They could have been a factory team in the WEC but GM said no.
