Seeing as we're all into fast cars, here's some pics of the GT3R on its first win;

Refuel less, drive longer: That’s the recipe for success of the further developed 911 GT3 R Hybrid: Richard Lietz, Marco Holzer and Patrick Long clinched the first victory for the hybrid racer from Weissach.

from about the 1:00 mark some incar sounds much like a cup car, well it is basically a cup car with two electric motors in the front hubs and a big kinetic flywheel in the passenger side.

Mint. A hybrid I could actually like :)

I know it says hybrid on the hips, but unless Porsche has changed the cooling design for the battery packs then the pics are simply of another GT3R, non hybrid one - GT3R-Hybrid has the cooling slits, in attached pic marked in red.

It might refuel less but the rules forced a certain refueling time. This greatly benefits cars that use less fuel. If they had F1 styled pit-stop refueling, I would exact an entirely different race.

2mins 20seconds is a huge amount of time to refuel.

"To equalize all of the different cars and fuel capacities, everyone took about 2 minutes 20 seconds to fill the car up with fuel. This gave us plenty of time to get the tire changes done and do any necessary cleaning or work on the car before we could go back on track."

Lol, cool car, new it was too good to be true, just like how the major endurance races can't be one in a petrol car, or how front wheel drives in most categories are given performance breaks.

What exactly do you mean?

Overall they use less fuel, meaning less fuel stops - the actual stops were regulated to 2mins 20seconds or so. So if they do even 2 extra laps between refuelling than the other teams can manage thats a big advantage given they will be stopped for the same time as the others, they just stop less times.

But with forced pit times we can never know how much it really helped. Long pit times only hurt petrol based vehicles, it is clear they are trying to encourage other types of vehicles.

It affects the amount of fuel a vehicle has to carry, reducing its lap times. Completely changes pit stop strategy with tyre changes and repairs.

Fair point!

We wont know how large the winning margin could've been, surely the guys much smarter than us at Porsche would've done the calculations though

That car overtook me on the Ring right on the entry to Carousel when I was there on a track day in 2009. Went through bottomed out the whole time. Sparks were a flyin. Needless to say it was quickly gone.

Exactly, competition is the best way to develop a technology so if they are really keen in developing this technology as something other then a PR stunt then it would be better to enter it into a series which is a straight fight.

That quickly sorts out what is worthwhile and what isn't :thumbsup:

      Custom Exhaust Questions - RB25DET Neo

      By Kip · Posted

      I'm struggling with a similar issue on an RB26. Make sure you know whether it's volume or resonance. Mine seemed louder when cruising compared to at idle. I downloaded a decibel meter for my phone. Take my less than scientific results with a couple grains of salt, but the decibels were the same at idle and at cruise. Mine seems to be a resonance problem. At 2500-3500 rpm, the sound is different and "louder" to my ear. I think it's vibration from the pipe, the car body, the floor or something creating tone. Anyway, consider that it may not be strictly a volume problem.

      Does this count as a time trial as well? I got all gold in the master super licence (1 lap time trial) and received a McLaren MP4/4 for my trouble.  If anyone else has done this, did you ride the wall right around the first long right hander at Lake Louise snow track to get gold? I couldn't do it any other way... best I could do without riding the was was within 2 tenths of the gold time.

      I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!

      I love Catalunya.  Got a 1:54.632. The AMG is a hoot.
