I have noticed through on board shots with the various cars, hyper/LMP cars have at least a 7 speed trans, the GTE cars have at least a 6 speed trans, the nascar/camero only has a 5 speed. I wonder if this car would do a little better with a 6th gear.
Mickstix:
Surprised they didn't (well, maybe they did) try a 6 spd. This isn't supposed to be any "help" for the Cup series, so no reason to stick with the 5 spd if it's not the fastest. But it's Rick Hendrick. He's not out there for his health. They'll learn all kinds of shit (for the cup series) Im sure.
Oh well, Panthers look to be toast.

somewhere close to 10pm eastern, the nascar/camero ripped a 3:50.9 lap, at this point it is 2nd “in class”
it’s sunrise in Le Mans
alta:
Sometime after I went to sleep they ran a 3:50.7 lap. But they’ve been in the garage for the last 20 with “gearbox issues”.
Mickstix:
Yea, I turned it off overnight. Saw this morning that they had gearbox issues. Goal is still to "finish" as per Chad Knaus tweet. Pretty solid run I guess, for their 1st attempt.
edit: Saw where they finished 39th overall. Had the speed to dominate anything in the GTE class. The guys who build the C8 Corvette are thrilled I imagine. :rofl: Even saw it run down, pass and gap a LMP2 car. :huh: Must of been down on power or something..
