So does this mean that a majority of the motors that we are currently running will not be legal now? Or did they take the ones that are currently approved and make the numbers based upon those?

Not sure, but my guess is, there is no way that TS 21.5 will stay legal.

That thing is a bullet and it's speed is so much faster than the other motors, I find a hard time not thinking it will be axed and replaced with a new version.

Honestly, that motor is one of the main reasons we are having this conversation.

Relax Jim I'm sure they'll get sued for it.

Hi guys;

IMSA staged a great WeatherTech GT race on the weekend an Lime Rock. I don't know if any of you caught it on TV. Awesome racing! The radical mid-engine Porsche bagged it's first win.
As with all their GT-only events, there were no Prototypes or Daytona Prototypes or Dpi (prototypes) eligable. It's a no-brainer: because they are not GT cars.

You can also measure the temperature of the stator and correct the reading back to 25C. The resistivity of copper increases by 0.393% per degree C.

I'd guess that most tracks and events will use their meter as the standard. That's what is done now when measuring battery voltage. I may have a 5 1/2 digit HP that I use at home, but if the track's DVM doesn't read the same, I still need to comply with whatever that meter says.

Thanks for the feedback. If that is the case, I wonder if any of the motors will be illegal now ( sans the R1 you mentioned )

I like the way this is heading.

This guy gets it. This post put a smile on my face.

Maybe it's just me, haven't we already had this discussion twenty or thirty (million)..........times already Your opinion and position on not liking or wanting the once legal Daytona Prototypes included on the approved body list is well documented.

A simple "Hey guys.....awesome race"... and link to the news would have been great as well as appreciated. There's no need to throw jabs (at others, and we know who you intended them for), at this point on a topic that already has rules in place, agreeing with your position. You guys do great work and we appreciate it, just not the personal jabs that seemingly has to be included in some of your posts. We get it.....
