WTF ! that is unexpected.(in a good way).

"Vanwall Vandervell reached out to Studio 397 " usually this is other way round , love it when teams and manufacturer show love to sim racing.

@Paul Jeffrey Does this have a hybrid power train?

Hi @Scoopscat7

The car runs with a non-hybrid Gibson V8.

The only question I ask myself is in the future (short term), how many hypercars are we going to have ?

 

[davehenrie]

Surprised? You betcha. I've been reading of the struggles/roadblocks they have been facing trying to get this car in a race. Perhaps the Glick as a stable mate???

Ah well you can’t blame me for asking

 

[Simulation_Player]

What are these buttons for ?
(grip and drag)

guessing DRAG for DRS and GRIP for TC.

I guess that they saw (and heard from Tom Dillmann) about how the ByKolles was represented in rF2

What sense does it make to model a Hybrid car without MGU K? I dont think Hybrid is a good solution or it's necessary for life of simracing just asking.

because this car has gibson v8, not a hybrid.

Very good,sadly as I have massive stutters and drops, I will pass the Q4 drop.

As a 2 minute Google expert on this topic, let me clarify: the LMH regulations restrict cars to 671 hp. This racecar therefore only has the V8 engine.

Their street version, labelled the 1000, is expected to have 1000 hp with a hybrid drivetrain. It'll also weigh 1000kg thanks to the lack of ballast requirement for road use.

Heck that Ferrari Red car everyone is drooling over only has a V6. The times, they are a -changin'
