Modified NASCAR ZL1 racing 2023 24 hour of LeMans

I’m sure they can build an R07 and make it last. Super Lates often run an entire season on a single SB2, they setup just has to be spec’s with longevity in mind. I doubt there’s a more scienced-out race engine design than the American pushrod V8.



I met Mitchell and his girlfriend about a year ago. We tried to put a project together but our goals didn’t seem to line up with those of the project’s intended beneficiary. He and his girl are good people.



I’d be interested to know what kind of setup they are using.

The truck series is running engines for multiple races now...have been for a few seasons now

G56 will be fun to keep an eye on. How is Jimmy Johnson as an endurance driver? I do wish Jordan Taylor would’ve gotten the ride instead.

I was wrong: Hendrick car, Childress Engine. This article goes into more detail about the package they used. Bosch EFI, individual throttle bodies, endurance engineered valve train.

"Easy" is relative to the competition

I always loved the idea of different race series vehicles racing together in one race. Someone needs to do an endurance build of an f1/indy car and throw it in for the hell of it

and on a sad note, this is the final year of the full factory backed corvette racing team. A 25 yrs program. That's unheard of.

Thus far during practice sessions, it is smoking the GT class cars by multiple seconds per lap. Corning speeds are down relative to the "street car" classes, but the extra 200-250 hp helps a bit on a track that is ~85% WOT each lap. It's also 250# lighter than a nascar.

The big question is whether or not a nascar engine can last 3k miles.

It's not part of the GT class though. It's racing by itself in it's own class. Of course it's smoking the GT class, it doesn't have to abide by the rules of that class.

I was just reading they shaved 400lbs by going from the traditional steel rotors to carbon rotors and 6 piston calipers lol...400 ****in lbs!

Car is also running much wider tires than the cup cars

They shaved off a bunch of weight, not just the brake setup alone. This is apparently faster than the GT cars. IMO this car is making more shine than the Mustang GT3.

It sounds a hell of a lot more glorious than the Mustang GT3, thats for sure. But the Mustang GT3 will live on.. competing with the Corvette GT3. LOL

The 24 HR of LeMans Centennial warm-up session has started and the track is declared WET with rain drops at several locations. Many have not experienced LeMans wet, especially Nascar.
Race starts at 9am CST.

Motortrend and Motortrend+ carry the race.
Onboard stream of Corvette and Camaro is available on Motortrend+, not sure about Motortrend.

Hydrogen demo car (hydrogen to electric) doing an exhibition lap...

They also have a Toyota Hydrogen car (hydrogen to ICE) running an exhibition lap.

And Motortrend+ just lost the live feed...
Great.

I like the idea of Hydrogen development way more than EV’s. It seems much more practical and common sense. I guess the politicians don’t get kickbacks from this method though.

Wonderful. Since Motortrend+ lost the live pre-race broadcast for the next ~2 hours, they've removed it from their menu selections.

Way to go Motortrend! ****heads.

9 hours in, Hendrik's Camaro is still rolling.
