Coming back to the awesome Bugatti Bolide production hypercar. This car is incredible! Alas, I don't believe it will ever be raced even against the current crop of LMH and LMDh Hypercars we see in global endurance sports car racing. The car is massive. The engine, at 16 cylinders, is massive. It would need to be Balance of Performance'd into oblivion to even try to race against all the other brands such as Ferrari, Cadillac, Acura, BMW, Peugeot, Isotta Fraschini, Lamborghini, and Alpine.
Remember what I said in my Destroying the Mousetrap editorial about the new Aston Martin Valkyrie. The Valkyrie is amazing. But the Bugatti Bolide, this beast would vaporize the mousetrap, instantly. This would be the ultimate "better mouse" in endurance racing and everyone, I mean, everyone, would go apoplectic and quit if this car was out on track running circles around the competition. So, no. I am sorry. We will not see Bugatti in prototype endurance racing anytime soon unless the FIA and the ACO actually wanted their mousetrap to break, which you know full well that they don't.
