My issue is still that my Vista labtop wont see a live stream like radiolemans or the Nurburgring 24 hour race. I have it setup right now to some cheap laptop that is an xp and has no issues.
Breaking News: Aero rules to change after accidents
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/68235
Le Mans organiser the ACO has vowed to make changes to the car regulations for 2009 following the number of aerial crashes that have occurred in recent months.
Hideki Noda suffered the sixth aerial accident for a prototype car since March during Wednesday's qualifying session, and the ACO believes that reducing corner speeds will solve the problem.
"(Aerial accidents) are a new phenomenon, as the regulations have not changed for this year," said ACO sporting director Daniel Poissenot.
"But I think we will have a different position for next year given the urgency of this. We will examine it.
"We need to look at the performance of the cars. We want to reduce downforce, which in turn will reduce corner speeds. All aero devices on the bottom of the cars will be banned for 2009."
The organisers of the race also outlined more plans to reduce the speed of the cars over the next couple of years with further aerodynamics reductions for 2010.
Poissenot added: "We saw in qualifying a 3:18 lap (by Peugeot). We are going to restrict the performance of the cars, but we will take the race times into account as qualifying can be inaccurate.
"We will do a lot of work for 2010 over the winter, but we want stability of three or four years, so there are no bad surprises for anyone. Current cars will still be allowed, but we will work to balance their performance with the new ones."
Plans for the future regulations also include the use of energy recovery systems, and increased lateral protection for drivers to improve the safety of the cars.
ANT.....you asked good questions and i coudn't fit my response in the PM section. So here it is.
The naming changes every couple years. LMP900 and LMP675 were first used in 2001 and according to ACO regulations these were open cockpit vehicles like the R8, Courage C60, and Pescarola.
Otherwise it was a closed cockpit GTP car like the Bentley Speed 8
In 2004 the system changed to calling the prototypes like the R8 as LMP1 cars
and the LMP675 as LMP2 cars.
This system runs till this day with the only difference being a closed cockpit GTP would now be a LMP1 such as the Peugeot 908 HDI.
The GT class has a bit of an unusual history.
When Group C was banned for 1994, that ACO created the GT1 class and did a bad job of specifying what that is because Porsche was able to take a Dauer 962, which was a street 962 and win the race overall.
After that the manufactuers kept abbusing what GT1 regulations would allow until cars like the Toyota GT-ONE were created.
During these years. French team Oreca (little known fact about them is they were the team Mazda put in charge of winning Le Mans in 1991).
Anyways, Oreca ran the Viper GT2 team from 1996 till 2000 when they decided to swith to prototypes.
These "GT2" cars became GTS cars for 1999.
In 2006 The GTS cars became the GT1 cars like the P&M C6R and the DBR9.
For many years the slowest class was GT2 but then the GT class was created and became GT2 (Again) in 2004.
The DBR9 was winner of GT1 in 2007. It is a very good competition between them as the Vette was only a lap back at the end.
Because of the 8.0L v10 advantage,
The only time the Ferrari did well was the Prodrive developed 550 but they left that project to make the DBR9.
Aston is the only company that runs a car in every single class of GT and 1 in LMP. You probably saw a GT3 DBRS9 and the other fact is that Aston does not run a
factory team in ALMS to combat thhe vette.
GT1- DBR9
GT2 - V8 Vantage GT2
GT3 - DBRS9
GT4 - Vantage N24/ GT4
LMP1 - Lola body - Aston DBR9 engine.
