I understand that, but just coming out of the straight he seemed to get abit busy mid corner, and then tried to accelerate and got no response from the engine, then changed down again.Originally Posted by Matra et Alpine
You drive a 24h race differently.
One much more protective of the drivetrain.
Brake pads you can change each stop. Brake discs can also be changed quickly. But you screw a box and the pit crew lynch you
So sounds like he's choosing to NOT use engine braking and only changing down when he/she(?)) needs to before applying drive. There are also some corners on the circuit where you don't' WANT to change down to the most powerful gear because the lower speeds mean less grip and more torque and the wheel just means a quicker spin out
Minf you your analysis WB is also possible as there do seem to be a coupl eof "OH SHIT" moments from the camera angle
Nice vid and really brings to attention how scary that era cars were when sharing track space with the slower GTs
I agree either way, great video.
