Why This Le Mans Hypercar Works With NO REAR WING

Description

So Le Mans has always produced some incredible cars, and the new Hypercar class is no exception. But look at this Toyota, this Glickenhaus, this Alpine and then this. Notice the odd one out? This Peugeot 9X8 has no rear wing. It’s been decades since we’ve seen a top-flight Le Mans car without a huge rear wing - they’re essential in producing downforce and keeping the car on the road. But somehow, Peugeot have made this car in a way that actually benefits from not having a rear wing - let’s dive into it. Thanks to the following channels, go check them out!

For the previous LMP1 class, things worked a bit like in Formula 1. The FIA gave the designers a set of tight, geometrical restrictions on the bodywork of the cars, and the designers have to fit the bodywork within those restrictions. This prevents the teams creating ridiculous downforce or taking things a bit too far. However, this gave us a grid of similar-looking cars with big differences in performance, depending on which designers made best use of the regulations. The LMH class turns this on its head. 📺 F1 Driver’s Technique Explained ➤ Senna’s bizarre technique: https://bit.ly/3lORK59 ➤ How Schumacher’s style won 7 championships: https://bit.ly/3527cVz ➤ Alonso’s strange steering: https://bit.ly/2Z7a93v ➤ How Verstappen will be F1 champion: https://bit.ly/3jK6L6n ➤ How Verstappen is so fast in the wet: https://bit.ly/32WMVhr 📺 F1 Engineering ➤ How F1 brakes work: https://bit.ly/3h0Whh0 ➤ How an F1 clutch works: https://bit.ly/3i0oDJM ➤ What’s inside an F1 gearbox: https://bit.ly/2DzMqRW ➤ How F1 teams change four tyres in two seconds: https://bit.ly/2QVpkIl 🏎️ Track & Racing Driver! ➤ Get a free report on your track driving: http://bit.ly/2LmYNBA ➤ Get faster on track with our FREE 25-part tutorial series:http://bit.ly/2PypIMK ➤ Our real-world training programmes: http://bit.ly/2ktjtgV 🏁 Sim Racers! ➤ My sim wheel: https://bit.ly/354BBlY ➤ My sim pedals: https://bit.ly/3eJckQo ➤ Our sim racing course: https://bit.ly/34WuV7p ➤ Get a free report on your track driving: http://bit.ly/2LmYNBA ➤ Driver61 Sim Racing Channel: http://bit.ly/2BMdk4B #LeMans #WEC #Hypercar
