Ferrari’s BEST Race Car isn't in F1

[@chompette_]

Not gonna lie, it seems a little clickbaity to call this car dominant when the Toyota cars beat it at 6 out of the 7 races, and finished less than 90 seconds behind at Le Mans. edit- they changed the wording of the title

[@firstbrotherDK]

This is exactly what I was about to say, and I remember Toyota also carry extra weight for the sake of "decreasing advantage."

[@kartaltoth684]

and even then the #7 was keeping pace and eventually lead before dentists forgot how to do literally anything going into a slow zone and destroyed it. #8 had hybrid issues all race but was catching up before Hirakawa crashed.

[@kenshinalbirunny6834]

In terms of pace I think both the Ferrari and the Toyota are close to each other but Toyota got that edge to them in terms of experience since they've been racing in WEC since the LMP1 age

[@SPProduction02]

In endurance, The age of the current car, can make a lot difference, especially when it come down to performance and reliability

[@97P96]

Im not even gonna watch a video with such a blatend lie

[@Zanion]

As usual with Driver61 videos not about Formula 1, we once again have to make some smaller corrections. 0:20 - The Ferrari 499p does not have 1000hp. The regulations limit the maximum combined engine output to 500kw (680hp) + - 20kw depending on BoP. So despite having a 680hp combustion engine and a 270hp strong hybrid. it does not make a combined 950hp. The combustion engine gets turned down once the Hybrid kicks in at the speed regulated via BoP. This error is later corrected, but saying 1000hp hypercar is still wrong here. 1:30 - The decision for Ferrari to join the Hypercar class was not because of the financial regulations in Formula 1. While they have helped in the decision, Ferrari themselves stated that the Hypercar ruleset was attractive for them because the expected cost was significantly lower than it was during LMP1 times. FIA / FOM later clarified that sharing information from other Programs with the Formula 1 program as a way to circumvent the financial regulation is not allowed, but I'm sure there will be some wiggle room the teams use. 2:30 - Ferrari uses a Chassis built by Dallara which is very similar to the LMDh Chassis used by the Cadillac and BMW LMDh. Visual similarities of the 3 cars can be found in air intakes on the side 5:50 - Activation for LMH is not at 190kph, but defined within the Balance of performance. Peugeot for example was allowed to use it at 135kph. I will let this point slide however, since BoP always had the Activation Speed at 190kph for Ferrari over the entire season. 6:10 - LMDh has the incorrect name. the h in LMDh has no meaning. No I can not explain why, but in every official document it is called "Le Mans Daytona h". Also that ruleset was developed by both IMSA and the ACO. 6:20 - Far bigger differences between LMH and LMDh than the Hybrid powering rear wheels or front wheels. Far more interesting in my opinion is that the LMDh Hybrid only delivers 50kw instead of 200kw. 6:20 - LMDh does not have an activation speed like LMH, mostly due to the far weaker Hybrid mentioned in the previous point. The rule for LMH Hybrid activation speed exists because there are manufacturers (Glickenhaus and Vanwall) who do not have a hybrid at all 8:40 - Correct for last season, but unfortunately Peugeot has noticed that the wingless design doesn't work on certain tracks. They have already announced to race with a rear wing in 2024 (if they have enough jokers to go through with it) 9:10 - Toyota has had full seasons worth of development in their car. 9:40 - while not entirely incorrect it is presented as a like a big misunderstanding for Balance of Performance. BoP does NOT factor in previous success in the class. It only focusses on the maximum theoretical performance in the next race with that BoP. Which is something Toyota has managed to get very close to, while Ferrari messed up their strategy at Sebring, had a brake failure at Portimao and tyres that were not even remotely up to temperature after 2 racelaps at Spa costing them almost a lap in wet conditions. 10:05 - Ferrari only lead 2 of the 4 practice sessions 11:50 - Ferrari had the issue with the starter twice, but I guess that's still more reliable than the front downforce of Toyota getting destroyed by a squirrel And finally: Le Mans was the only race Ferrari won this season. Calling it dominant is a bit ambitious. Espacially given that their small restarting issue might have cost them the lead with 20 minutes to go if Toyota hadn't messed up the brake balance into Arnage

[@jameshough9370]

its a h in LMDh because the ACO wanted Hypercar and IMSA wanted Hybrid 😆 Peugoet seem to have enough jokers as the 9X8 has been seen with a rear wing at Paul Ricard. Also I know the vanwall wasn't even reaching 480KW of power during le mans for 'cooling and reliability concerns' even though it has the Gibson V8 that is in the LMP2 Cars.

[@Zanion]

@@alexblackwood8465 because they did. Ferrari has managed to get everything right for one race of the season, while Toyota wasn't up to their usual level at Le Mans. Toyota didn't have a particularly bad race and their strategy wasn't bad either, but the #7 crashed in the evening hours and #8 had an unfortunate incident with squirrel and later Hirakawa made a mistake due to him not being informed about the brake bias needing to be moved to the front into Arnage. Toyota has received more weight, because that is what the automated process determined they need to make every team competitive. There are many complaints about BoP this season, but it for sure was not the topic at Le Mans and even in other races it was more thanks to the routine of Toyota Gazoo Racing, rather than them having 2kw more power than they should be. They just barely made a strategic mistake all season, and in the one case they did Ferrari was up to the task.

[@AbrahamArthemius]

Ehh, calling it "dominant" while the Toyota GR010, THE actual dominant car that won all the race this season apart from Le Mans 24H (Of which the Toyotas got a sudden BOP change at the last minute that benefitted the Ferraris) is very misleading.

I would not call the 499p dominant during the 2023 wec season. they won 1 out of the 7 races and didnt win any of the championships, which is what really matters. the only race they won was le mans and that was because of BoP nerfing the Toyota too hard while the ferrari was seemingly unaffected by BoP. even with the hard BoP nerf, toyota's pace wasn't far off the ferraris' pace and were still in contention of winning with a slower car. it was the mistake in the closing minutes of the race that guaranteed the ferrari the win at le mans.

[@mitsos_jz8498]

Are we seriously going to say that the 499P is a dominant car when it only won 1 race, managed 2 poles and 1 fastest lap... and won only because of being favoured? The 499P's hubrid system was different compared to the others since it was developed by Ferrari with F1 tech in mind. Toyota somehow got a last minute BOP change and let's not forget that if the number 7 Toyota didn't get involved in an accident with the GT3 car, the results could have been different. Saying the 499P is dominant is like saying the 787B was dominant

[@Zath88]

2:38 to clear up discrepancy and add detail that you didnt bother adding because it makes Porsche look lazy by comparison to fit the narrative of this video, Porsche HAD to buy a chassis because the 963 and 499P are technically in two different categories. The Ferrari is an LMh car whereas the Porsche is a LMDh car. Porsche built their car to the LMDh specifications which calls for manufacturers to use a premade chassis from 4 different manufacturers. Ferrari being in the LMh class, they have free reign to design the chassis and built it to however they want. Thats the difference you chose to emit

[@thejman3489]

I stayed up to watch the whole race. Everyone in the GTP class had problems to the point where just about every car had a chance to win, if they just kept the racing clean and hope their car didn't break. Some time in morning before the sun came up, it was clear that Toyota and Ferrari were the front runners and they swapped the lead many times. I believe the Toyota was trying to catch the Ferrari in the last hour and then ran a corner wide. That sealed the deal as they were too far away to catch the Ferrari. It is worth noting that they changed the full course caution procedure at Le Mans for 2023. Previously they had 3 pace cars about equally spaced around the track. You line up behind the first one you run into to and don't pass any cars until the caution is lifted. This helped keep the running order the same and somewhat maintained gaps between cars. The new caution procedure is the same as IMSA. They line up the cars behind the 3 pace cars. When it is safe they then get rid of 2 of the pace cars and have the whole field behind 1 pace car. Next they allow cars that are not on the lead lap in their class to do a wave around and get 1 lap back. Then they reorder the field by class like they would at the start of the race. And finally they throw the green. Yup. They basically hit the reset button every time a full course caution comes out. I'm sorry but Le Mans is suppose to be prestigious. You won because you were the fastest throughout the 24 hours. Letting all the other cars catch the leader at the end and running a sprint to the finish just feels cheap. In other words, it felt like watching a NASCAR race.

[@Maenfy]

Well that's not quite how the SC system worked. They had to be in front of their class leader to get a lap "back". So that can't apply to the Hypercar class since nobody can be in front of the leader and if they were they weren't lapped yet anyways.

As much as i like BOP as a racing fan, the engineer inside me wants to see them without handbreaks at the drawing board again. The Ferrari is genius. Having the hybrid at the front means it runs cooler, so you can stress it more. Not having a linked axle between ICE and EV seperates mechanical constraints of both power characteristics. So you don't have to run parts that hold both. Going 900V with the EV is also genius. It makes the isolation of the wires and connectors beafier, but the system overall lighter and faster in response. I don't know how exactly they recover but higher voltage should allow to recover more power at higher speed. Which means a bit less heat inside the breaks.

Peugeot's car relies heavily on the underbody of the car to generate the downforce, but then when you try to attack a curb or any bumpy track, that downforce is unreliable at all. Meanwhile, traditional fins and wings will give you consistent downforce and stability.

Peugeot is adding a rear wing to their car in 2024. They realized that designing a car for the Hunadiére (aka Mulsane straight) dodn't make sense for the rest of the season. The 2023 ground effect 9X8 didn't work beyond Le Mans.

Does making an inferior car that needs massive competitive parity help count as an engineering solution?

[@petros5155]

I love your Chanel and the 499 but toyota won everything but le mans so dominant os not the right word

[@batialexis9339]

Hey scott, I've followed you since 2018, i wanted to say thank you for being my coach and teacher on racecraft, going from the sim to some trackdays per year. Your channel is one of the best since then in terms of coaching and entertaining and i'm glad you've made great achievements with your several other channels including the spanish version. Also i got a question, would you consider making a video of how to coach someone? My friend got his first sim and i'd try to coach him taking your videos as a reliable guide. Thanks again from mexico.

My God, what a first Le Mans to watch

[@anshidar7104]

So that's where all ferrari strategy people went

[@jasonwalters6329]

Love these hybrid prototypes….sick race cars.

[@A_Licht]

Does winning a race make it a dominant car? This is a joke, because it was evident that Toyota swept Ferrari in every race except Le Man's, where the BOP difference was more than clear.

[@Jono.]

I appreciate the insight into the LMH car. Genuinely, that was cool information about engine development, regulations, etc. I think you did well to cover Ferrari's potential motive here as well. That being said, I do not get your angle here. Drawing the journalistic angle of "this is a dominant car!" when they still got crushed by Toyota is a unique choice. This car won as much as their very NON-dominant F1 team.

[@anoopjain2705]

I think LS2 will have a better season, especially after winter spent studying and learning from mistakes and driving with less adrenaline. The best thing I did for my sim driving making too many mistakes was a break and a lot of studying

What a good video.

[@pppphillip]

Good video but I have one little note: Maximum downforce is a good rule but the minimum drag isn't. Cars like the Peugeot would be way more efficient if they don't have to put draggy elements on their car. Same with Ferrari. Of course you have to think about all competitors and that it's relatively fair between them but you should be allowed to use your potential to build a good car

0:38 the one key difference is that red bull isn't there 😆

[@seogabonotjah6555]

bro is roasting ferrari f1 team LMAO

[@Andre_The_Millennial]

Getting ratio'ed my guy.

[@herbertkraft7379]

"Kind on its Tires" can't rund Mediums in Bahrain... "Reliable" well yes, a few powercycles at Le Mans are fair game. "Dominant" did you guys watch any of the races? I hoped you'd put the 499p on the Thumbnail and pulled out a different car...

[@racer501_sb]

As a Ferrari fan and lover of the 499P. Its a good car, not a dominant one, for now atleast

[@upnorthyooper1196]

What is a power cycle @11:59?
