Just to put it in perspective, last year's GTLM pole time was a 2:03.7. This car was coasting for a considerable part of the lap.Scott Maxwell and Billy Jones were on driving duty.
Initial impressions are it's loud, they were shifting very early, mid 2:04 lap times, and incredible aero. Even the rear "buttresses" are wing-shaped. Huge diffuser with intricate work on edges.
There's even a hole in the centre of the rear lights which has aero behind it. It's bleeding air from under the rear... incredible.
The engine is mounted well forward and very low and looks to be stressed with an interesting looking gearbox hung from it.
Man, looks strange at that angle.I don't know whether this was a known thing already or not, but I just encountered this fm6 screenshot and noticed the rear spoiler is active

Well yes.Active aero confirmation?
I don't know. Do you really want telemetry from that 420 guy or from that one person who has no concept on corner entry and exit?
Function over form. Also it grows on you.
Man that's ugly active aero, couldn't they have make it look slightly less like bus stop bench...

Yes, you do. Because it tells you how the car behaves under all situations, not just ideal ones. If a driver makes a mistake or the car is put in a compromising situation, you want it to be capable of handling the scenario as well as allowing the driver to feel like he/she is in control.I don't know.

All the data will be useful for certain situations. Just because most people aren't racing drivers doesn't mean that seeing how the car reacts to them is useless. Data is easy to gather and process, why would you choose to ignore some of it?That's well and good...IF that's all everyone was doing. Unfortuantely, that's my only issue with this: not everyone is going to do that.
