Some privateers and rich hobbyists own them and bring them out to special events (Goodwood speed festival and such), but your best bet would be ot visit Mercedes Benz's museum to see it in person.

They changed to 3.5L engines because Bernie is a cunt and wanted to force sports car manufacturers into F1 (spoilers: it worked) then it died because nobody wanted to build 3.5L Group C cars.

they're usually mechanics or engineers that volunteer for it

Where's that pit-entry-warning siren? I can't hear it for shit this year.
>>68627900
Don't bother. This anon is from /o/. I can't wait for him to post threads about the ford winning, only to be flooded by pics of the TS050. As they usually like to damage control, GTE doens't matter anyway. This happened all the time after it lost to the ferrari and the corvette. Don't expect a similar performance in nurburgring, if they dare to show up of course.

that lowrider LMP2
>>68629778
The slow zone is imposed in an area where somebody had an accident (in this case the #31 car had a spin). Normally in racing you'd put in a safety car if needed or just wave yellow flags, but after Jules Bianchi was killed by an accident in the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix, slow zones or "virtual safety cars" were imposed.
Basically you're forced to be slow in a certain zone of the track to avoid anyone being too brave and hitting what caused the accident
>>68629837
The ustream in the thread description works quite well
Try that one too
Will they make an electric car division at some point? The strategy seems like it would be way more interesting.
>>68629778
Instead of using a safety car and delaying the whole race, they use these slow zones that take effect when a car goes off or something.
>>68629822
*4 Mile straight. It's 2016, the tires can handle it
>Era of downforce
It's not 1982. MUH downforce gradually gave way to MUH exotic aerodynamics and super low drag coefficients
>>68629871
>Will they make an electric car division at some point?
Fucking disgusting.
But, yes, it probably will end up that way at some point. Not any time soon, though.

>Everybody is running similar times to the 2015 quali

>ACO: "Honhonhon wew don't see anything wrong."
ACO lacks the balls IMSA has. If it was the americans, the would've seperated the ford team and call them on their bullshit to stop sandbagging. But they don't seem to care after peugeot stopped competing.
>>68629871
I'd reckon it happens when they find a way to quickly swap batteries.
>>68629987
The latter
>>68629961
it's basically a man/car hybrid
he's more auto than human now
they haven't shown him that much though
>>68629851
I remember slow zones being used at 2014 Le Mans, before the tractor cunt accident
>>68629824
Much more in depth than I care to know, but yes thanks
I love it when a Manufacturer decides (or is forced) to make a road version of their LMPs
>>68630053
Yeah they're used at Le Mans because with as long as the track is and multiple classes safety cars totally fuck things in the ass.
>>68630007
No. Make them charge them!
It'd be interesting to see the weight (more batteries)+less charge time vs lighter+more charge time trade offs. I think you might see some pretty slow cars with a shitton of batteries.

>>68630203
