    So they are now in both F1 and LMH, but they save money compared to what they used to spend 🤔 that is pretty impressive, it just goes to show that keeping costs under control is a good thing for diversity in the top classes. Also its good that they found a way to prevent having to fire a ton of employes.
  • @imacompoza
    This car is a great example of how different F1 engineers and prototype engineers think
  • @manwell235
    Ferrari has been successful in the LMGTE class for the past few years. I always hoped Ferrari would go for the LMP class and return to top sports car racing again. Looks like F1 budget cap is a blessing in disguise for us car racing fans.
  • @86Digilio
    Looks like a Le Mans winner to me. 😉 Enjoyed the break down on this 499 and the 963. 👍🏼
  • @zooot820
    as always, great analysis. this car looks mighty fast. i like what they’ve done with their livery also with a touch of yellow. interesting they do not regulate corner downforce
  • @tturi2
    I'm not the biggest fan of the cost cap in F1, but if its flow on effects are more Motorsports categories get more racing teams, thats awesome and I love the F1 design style rules for the LMH
  • @Ked_gaming
    I was born in Le Mans, go there every year now for the race, the combination of F1 cost cap and LMH/LMDH regulation is a treat and I hope more manufacturer come !
  • Very excited to see Ferrari back at Le Mans and in both F1 and WEC.I think Enzo would be proud,I know I am.
  • "Low expectations in the first year ". Wins Le Mans 😊
  • @Jay-nk6dm
    This seems like a greatly detailed car. hope ferrari is more successful here than they were in f1, and im not even a ferrari fan!
  • I always learn so much when B Sport takes the time to analyze every facet of the effort. I love to see what subtle tricks emerge in aerodynamics, and it seems Ferrari has cleverly adhered to the rules in the wind tunnel but the numbers increase a bit in the corners. Can’t wait for Sebring.
  • Great analysis! Wonder if they'll bring the whole play book over and use F-Ducts, DAS, heave springs to lower cars to skirt around the Drag/Downforce ratio.
  • @FerMart115
    This car is a work of art. Thanks for the video!
  • 5:40 - it also reduces inertia, and probably provides a slightly better weight balance.
  • @cademckee7276
    I believe they are doing yaw, rake and ride height sweeps for the wind tunnel tests for LMDH/LMH as that’s how the stability rules are setup. Iirc the car has to have a certain minimum downforce at a certain angle sideways at a certain speed.
  • @Andrew-vx2ls
    WEC has always been fascinating and from an aero point of view, sort of makes more sense than F1 for road applications (except of course that so many folks want to drive around in unaerodynamic mum trucks). @B Sport : the items that caught my eye were the carefully shaped "two front diffusers" on each side of the front wheels with one of the two aimed to direct air onto the flanks of the car. Can you explain these in more detail please (yes, to fill negative pressure areas...and...).
  • They don't just spend $145m in F1. There are costs associated with F1 that are not included in the budget cap. But you are right that costs have gone down significantly.
