Thanks for that link, and interesting comments on the proposed tire compounds

Quote:
The LMDh cars, in contrast, appear to be closer to how DPIs/LMP2 have always been designed and engineered. Sure, they are relatively quick, but our simulations show that, unlike our car and Toyota’s, there is no way they will be able to run 3:30 laps at Le Mans during a race or faster for qualifying on the currently planned tire compounds.
Current LMP2 cars can already run sub 3:30 laps, I think 3:24 in 2018. So if the next gen dpi's/LMDh are going to have more power, can the lap times really be that hampered by tire compounds?
