2023 LMH & LMDh Hypercars/GTPs in action at Monza: 9X8, 499P, 963, Cadillac, BMW M Hybrid, GR010!

 


From 19Bozzy92.

In the last few months I managed to record almost every car created by the new LMH (Le Mans Hypercar) and LMDh (Le Mans Daytona h) regulations so far at Monza Circuit, both during the 6 Hours race and during various collective test days. 

The two rulesets lead to the creation of cars that are distinct but can compete equally for victory (also due to BoP-Balance of Performance adjustments) in the premier class of endurance racing, called 'Hypercars' in the FIA WEC and 'GTP' in the WeatherTech IMSA Championship.

LMDh rules allow choosing from a base chassis, of which there are four choices, from Dallara, Ligier, Multimatic, and Oreca, as well as a specification hybrid system on all cars, with freedom on aerodynamics, bodywork, and engine configuration. On the other hand LMH regulation allows bespoke hybrid designs and offers more mechanical design freedom in exchange for elevated development costs and optional hybrid power.

Hope you like it!
