The thing you have to remember about LMGTE is that, like most modern GT series, it is heavily governed by Balance of Performance regulations. Cars are handicapped so that there is relative parity between all of the models competing. This means a car being competitive doesn't necessarily prove the design's superiority.
The situation with rear engined Porsches is similar to the one with FWD touring cars. Sure with enough work you can make it perform admirably, but if you were starting from a clean slate you would never deliberately design a race car that way because you'd just be making things harder on yourself than you need to.
- brudgers 11y agoFrom F1 to the 24 hours of Lemons, all racing series are heavily regulated to make things interesting until someone crosses the line first. Even Green Monster had to have wheels not wings strapped to Art Alfons' turbojet.
- Gmo 11y agoNitpick : It's not Lemons, it is Le Mans, named after the place where the circuit is. Or was it an intentional word play ? Then woosh.
