      Nascar fuel economy: 2-5 miles per gallon. The old V12 Vantage was about 7mpg, I think. Takes a growler to get those rolling bricks through the French atmosphere at the pace they're going but words fall short when describing the feeling in the chest as they, quite literally, thunder passed.

      @@shayneschultz8793 Accepted though in fairness, that's in part down to the cautions - where the 15-20 mpg they can get there brings those numbers back. Oval Vs Road course must also make a relatively noticeable difference. But with around 10% of Nascar laps being under under caution, there's a fair chunk to gain there and potential to make the numbers look better, when averaged out across a race. In race trim and actually racing, well, in my brain at least that 8-10mpg feels averaged out but my brain is a funny place, so I shall make no claims..

    5.9L pushrod V8 based of the Chevy smallblock, 5 speed sequential transaxle, and the base body components. That is the only thing this car has in common with the Gen 7 stock car that it’s spawned from.
    The G56 entry is ~600lbs (~270kgs) lighter than the standard cup car.
    Has a larger front splitter and rear decklid spoiler.
    Hasbeen outfitted with dive planes front and rear.
    The fuel cell is larger and has been moved from the trunk into the center section of the car directly behind the driver.
    The engine has been moved further inward and lower into the chassis.
    The driver has all the electronic aids that the GTE cars have. TC, yaw control, an adjustable diff, fuel mapping, the works.
    To quantify things; when compared to the standard Cup series Camaro, the G56 entry is 10 seconds faster per lap around the Charlotte infield road course.

    • @Christopher_TG
      @Christopher_TG Před rokem +157

      They kept the base body, engine, transaxle, and chassis, but they moved the engine back and down, replaced the fuel-cell with a long-distance tank, added a lot of aerodynamic surfaces, and pulled out 500 lbs. of weight. They've also changed the horsepower limiter so it's puts out substantially more power than the base Cup car. The modified car is about 8 seconds faster per lap around the Charlotte infield road course than the unmodified Cup car. It's so good that, honestly, it makes me think that maybe NASCAR should use some version of it as a road course package. If road courses are going to be a bigger part of the NASCAR calendar, maybe NASCAR should have a package for those tracks.

      The Oak Racing LMP2 Garage 56 entry from 2016 and 2021 were slightly competitive only being 42 and 29 laps down to the lead LMP2 car (or 8 and 2 laps down to the next LMP2) in the two races, mainly because driver changes took longer to complete due to having a quadruple amputee in 2017 and 2 paraplegic drivers in 2021.
      Out of the 4 Garage 56 entries that have actually started the race they are the only two to finish. They were also not last overall or out of the LMP2s in either qualifying or race which was impressive.

    I thought the NASCAR was just a promotional gimmick but after watching how smooth it is and how quick it is through the corners, I have to say I am truly impressed. I hope the Chevy experiences great endurance and no mechanical or electrical issues in the race. One thing is for sure, whenever new classes are introduced at Le Mans like 40 years ago with Group C there are many many retirements with unreliability. I never thought I'd be barracking for a Chevy NASCAR at Le Mans. 😊 And then there are the tunes from the donk. Sweeeeeeet, sweeeeet, sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.😊

    I saw a Racer Magazine video interview and Jenson said the car was a lot stronger in the high-speed corners than the ACO thought it would be. He did say it was slower on the straights than the GTE cars, mainly because of the huge spoiler in the back. He said it comes off of corners really well. The brakes could be an issue. It sure sounds great, and I wish the team well.

      It's lighter than a Cup racer because of all the carbon fiber body panels instead of steel. About 350 pounds lighter... That's the diff. That's after they added all the lights, and other stuff required by the rules. It would be much faster on a NASCAR track, too.
