This is supposedly Ferrari's LMP1 car:

That's definitely not a P1, or at least not a legal one. It is LaFerrari with a rear wing and mockups in a camo livery. And with a turbo engine.

I'm not even sure this has anything to do with racing or the F1 V6 engine either, could be just FXX-like track only special of the LaFerrari.

Nissan doing what Nissan does best: PR full of BS.

wanted to watch the race today, but after one hour the stream just stopped and a schedule for the next appeared

about Nissan joining WEC: Well, when one japanese manufacturer joins a series a second will often follow. I'm rather curious on what technology Nissan will use.

Is Mazda still evaluating WEC? I know the rotary development was canned altogether, but their Skyactive engine technology could be showcased here as well.

petrol-hybrid for Nissan

If Mazda came in with a Rotory Hybrid that would be godly

yeah, but what engine configuration? N/A V8 like Toyota, or V6, or smaller turbo V6, or Deltawing-like turbo inline-4? And what sort of Hybrid system. I'm just a sucker for race car tech

Apparently I was wrong with Mazda canning the wankel: article
Didn't Mazda experiment with Hydrogen burning Wankels for some time, and even offer a Mazda 6 model with on on thier home market? Hydrogen, by burning much faster and cleaner than petrol, could work quite well in a wankel ...

Wankels, known for their excellent fuel consumption... oh wait. Remember how the 2014 regs have been set.

Wankels are great and rather fuel efficient within a rather small power band, that why they still get used for aircraft and generators. Mazda could keep one onboard running say a steady 8k rpm coupled to a generator, feeding full electric motors :twirl: (would this be allowed? Don't know the regs that well)

I don't understand the regs enough either but I think this is something what Nissan plans to lobby considering what the ZEOD most likely will have. Legal or not, but whether such is competitive is another matter.
