the thing is with lambos, they look and sounds awsome, but performace when it comes to racing cars dosn't quite live up to expectations. like this year in LMS silverstone the gallardo looked and sounded so nice, but a huge let down when it came to performance. just put more machine guns on it, that should sort it.

if anyone is interested, here are the new bullshit regulations for 2011 (p1, p2)

http://www.planetlemans.com/2010/12/22/a-look-at-the-2011-lmp1-and-lmp2-regulations/

Why bullshit? I admire the fact that ACO dared to restrict and equalize speeds by imposing energy limits (e.i. fuel like in Group C) instead of prescribing the parameters for every little flap and winglet, and even CoG for the car and CoG height for the engine like it's done in F1!

bs, because there is absolutely no justification for a few things. its a race ffs, cars should go fast. and the fin ruins the cars look, they should have made the monocoque more safe insted by redesigning its structure or i dont know. some other way to make the cars more safe. lower engine power so cars use less fuel. just lol. so what if they use more fuel? or is it safer to go with less fuel? Or is it this environment-friendly bs again? But, at least the costs of lmp2 chassi are reduced, so maybe new teams will join the series, thats a good thing. And diesels should have their own category

I'm pretty sure the diesels will be history in a few years.

Why safe fuel? (don't you like group C, btw?) Because some manufacturers want to invest in road relevant technologies. Don't be childish, we all like to see fire breathing monsters on the track that do over 450km on Mulsanne, burn 100L of fuel every lap and will deafen everyone in the radius of 20 km if you touch the throttle. As well as drivers who can win the 24 hours with no driver changes while being completely drunk and drinking some more during the pitstops.
But that's not going to happen. We should celebrate the fact that technical competition is still allowed (unlike anywhere else) and that going to EV technology isn't mandatory.

yes. more variety is always a good thing

Pandamasque a big +1

new shots of 90x at peugeot-sport.com

http://www.peugeot-sport.com/en/endurance/mediatheque.html?type=photo&id=3725&titre=90x#

looks pretty cool imho

Its not called the 90x, its called the 908

Disappointed. I though they are preparing a new car. With this one they didn't dare call it a new name

I don't see the interest of changing everything on a car witch is the best. It's pretty logical that they customised it a bit (lot of small changes on it when you look in details).

Meanwhile in Atlanta airport.

I'm totally agree with Marc. If car is good and fast, why start a new project from scratch?
When will be slow respect rivalry i'm sure Peugeot will do the new car.
For the f430 is the same. After 5 years, they did new car because that project was beginning to be old.

Yeah pandamasque i already saw it in facebook! i'm really happy.
After a bit of disorientation, now i find that 458 really cool. And what a sound. 100% italian.

Rather because they need to promote a new model. F430 was the dominant car in GT2 last year, in terms of raw speed at least.
The 458 seems to sound better and obviously looks better, so bring it on!

Actually the 458 GT is A LOT faster than old 430 GT we'll see on sebring if will be good about affidability.
