Make a new Le Mans class where cars must:>not have a swapped engine but can have a modified engine with no hp limit>have a manual transmission>be street legal>have a adjustable ground clearance that allows them to clear a typical speed bump
>>28875264what happens with that sort of thing is what alway happens with that sort of thing; the german car manufacturers say fuck off and it's dead in the water. happened the last time with the proposed hypercar class as well.
>>28875264so a viper wins every time.
>>28875264this thing would've fit the bill sans the engine since it was a merc v12
>>28875264I'm a manual fan, but I can't hang with you there. I'd give you "must be shifted manually", but let them go with sequentials, semi-automatic torque converter transmissions etc. The single dry clutch is obsoleted for over-200hp applications
>>28875264why would a race car need adjustable suspension like that? why do force manufacturers to make a new manual transmission when they already have sequentials that make the car much faster? you do realize that these restrictions would probably put this class somewhere below touring cars, right?
>>28875765The idea isn't to make the fastest class but to make a class for supercars in the classic meaning of this word. Radical got from England to Nurburgring by itself and that's cool.
>>28875264>you know what we need>even more cars for the ultra wealthyNo. You have a childish mindset.
>>28875835We can make a similar catagory for cars under $150k
>>28876353sub $150k race cars already exist, just not in le mans. gr cup, mx5 cup, dark horse r, all under $150k and are pretty much stock. i don't think you know much about racing in general.
>>28875264just put speed bumps on the track
