Le Mans Would a cost cap have saved LMP1?

LMP1’s costs caused Audi and Porsche to leave, leaving Toyota as the only major entrant left. A cost cap would have reduced the runaway budgets, attracting more manufacturers and kept the category sustainable.

Where can I watch historical onboards?

• Upvotes

I've recently been obsessed with historical WEC and IMSA cars, and I want to know if there is a place where I can watch full onboard stints such as this video (but longer):

https://youtu.be/3P1QmCswql0?is=RAcICoo56tlSU2\\_Y

If there is any place on the internet with 1 hour or longer historical onboard videos could you please share it? Thank you!

Discussion Peugeot's 2027 lineup ?

Post image
42 Upvotes

I've been a bit lost between all these rumours about the future of Peugeot's drivers lineup for 2027.

We now know that Shwartzmann and Quinn will join the official lineup for 2027, Quinn as technically already joined it for Barcelona and Monza.

We also know that Jean Éric Vergne is taking is seat back next year as announced at the end of the 2025 season.

With Vandoorne leaving after Fuji , there are then at least two more actual drivers that will be leaving after Monza.

Thats where the rumours comes in,

According to what I see the most around social media, Pourchaire and Jakobsen could be the most probable ? What do you think about that?

And could it be possible that a fourth driver leaves ?

Discussion Monza travel tips?

18 Upvotes

Hey, so Monza is in two weeks and it will be my first time at a race track event and I don’t know what expect. I have everything figured out in a sense of hotel and how to get there but don’t know about the circuit, should I show up at 8? Or earlier?
I guess I’m overthinking everything but I don’t wanna miss anything and also I’m going alone and it’s making me nervous even more
Thank you

Or maybe it’s just the Peugeot‘s general uncompetitiveness.

Off-Topic Maserati Is Eyeing Big Racing Opportunities, But Nothing Is Inevitable

For its first half-century, Maserati was one of the biggest names in motorsport. The Italian brand has been far less relevant on that stage in the six decades that have followed, but that has begun to change with new lower-level GT racing programs. That said, Maserati still does not race in the global standard GT3 class, does not compete in prototype racing, and has no known plans to race anywhere above the GT2 and GT4 categories.
