Thats conservative... if they go 8MJ option they can go almost 36-37 seconds per lap on the 300hp boost. You can see why theyre quietly confident.
Comparative F1 vs LMP1
One question for TF110 or another guy with all lot of knowledge.
The LMP1 will have 36 or 37 seconds per lap on the 300 hp boost in Le mans (13.6 Km). That could be 150 hp for 72 or 74 seconds.
The F1 will have 30 seconds per lap on 160 hp boost in circuit around 6 or 7 Km. Could this be the same time/power relationship like LMP1?
