If Ginetta get on top of their car and Rebellion continue their progress, Toyota will have to push. I don't know what the lap times will be, but I know Ginetta will set records in the straight line speed respect. There's no success penalties there so it will be about pure speed of the car.

I'm looking forward to how fast the new cars will actually be. Total power is now going to be closer to 800hp. I hope for some revisions in the rules to things like weight but there is hope that we'll have unique cars. FAST cars too especially with the power they produce and the free aero on things like the floor and diffuser. While I doubt extreme machines like the FWD Nissan will be seen, I think we're going to see some mixed solutions. With the relaxing of regs associated to cars produced for the road, I think actual hypercars for the street will be produced based on the new cars.

What cars are confirmed to be racing as struggling to see any apart from Aston Martin at the moment. More of a casual fan of WEC. All very hazy.
Aston Valkyrie, Toyota (hypersport?), Glickenhaus... maybe a ByKolles (doubtful imo)
