Well, here's a thread for all the news and notes about Isotta Fraschini new LMH, so put all the videos and stuff in here. I think you can talk about the Tipo 6 LMH Competitizione and the totally unrestricted version the Tipo LMH 6 LMH Pista as well. Okay, girls and guys?

For those asking why it takes so long before hitting the track (yes, its a 4x4!):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAmoET-eYM0
Track day version said Pista at Paul Ricard:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r06dvGD3cTQ Competitzione at Monza (the single exhaust is typical):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-r93wwZ90M I think they will surprise us. |

Could they have two cars on the grid next year?

I saw that, you beat me to it.
![]() C'mon, FIA, give them the go-ahead. Two cars are better than one. |

Two cars would be great, a proper factory program. Next year we almost certainly won't have Glickenhaus and maybe ByKolles won't be there too so two potential slots are there.

Two cars for Le Mans? Why not!
![]() The major bit would be... who do they have in mind for the second driver crew. Let the speculation begin... |

I think there are enough good GT/LMP2 drivers available

A lot of LMP2 drivers with no Hypercar contract as of yet: Aldo Costa, Phil Hanson, etc Or the IMSA GTP drivers that do not have a WEC drive: Alberquque, Deletraz etc. Plenty of drivers available Not sure if going with their current test team is good either. Both Bonanomi and Vernay do not have a lot of Le Mans/ Prototype experience lately. They were on big teams 10 years ago but not much recently. Maybe better to have drivers more used to current WEC |

Been testing at Aragon, in both damp and evening/night. Outside of electrical issues, its been pretty good.
Looks to me like they'll be ready for next season. |

Porsche, imo, are making slightly different, they promote road cars and sell competition-client cars too. Like they always did. |

Just imagine that the local Police want to check the papers… We could have a Lamborghini chasing an Isotta Fraschini on the narrow highway. This is panache! No place like Italy imo. Yeees!

Probably hard to reach with basically a central driving position (slightly offset from absolute center). Also the car is basically a single seater even in the road version. Only other road legal (at least in Europe) car I can think of that's a single seater is the BAC Mono series, which are absolute single seaters. |
