10 months agoRealistically it won’t be running anywhere near peak horsepower. It will be tuned extremely differently to a gasoline engine since the engine’s operating speed is not relevant to wheel speed. Overall efficiency should be ok.
I would have wished to see a small I3 or I4 engine optimized for generating power and reduced weight.
the C&D Lighting Lap lets manufactures equip optional dealer add-ons like grippy tires. So some cars show up to the track with Cup2 Rs (technically street legal tires, available on some cars as a dealer add-on).
I think that for example, the Supra should be tested with the more modern Pilot Sport 4S or Pilot Sport 5. It’s really traction limited with it’s older Pilot Super Sports.
