Okay, again you seem to know more that other forum members. So the experts did not get any technical information of the engines from TMG, HPD, AER (Mazda) and Prodive (Aston Martin). That was not mentioned in ACO press article.

Please explain how the tires and the chassis make a difference in straightline acceleration. Acceleration is all about the engine. Yes, better aero (less drag) also has a role, but that only comes in play at high speed (terminal velocity).

If you don't believe that, explain why the HPDs and RS Spyders were so much better in previous years. Just look at the numbers I posted in the previous post.

For the same reason that the Strakka and RML ARX-01d could do those great qualifying laps this year, even though they were highly down on power with the HPD V6 turbo engine: the cars were phenomenal in corners because of superior chassis and aero
