When I saw his video the other day putting in the hood pins I knew it wouldn’t hold. Those style latches look nice, but aren’t very secure. And with only 2 of them once the hood flexes they’ll release. Should have 4 across the front and probably 2 more on each side. And either the old school style with the clips or the flush mount ones with the lever that locks them. Those button pop up style latches just don’t hold when under high load and things flexing.

@@michaelgomez4994making a pure lap-speed comparison at le mans is ultimately meaningless. endurance racing isn't about lap-per-lap speed, it's about reliability. An F1 car would certainly be faster than a GT3 car around Le Mans...but it would break before ever finishing and lose to the GT3s by a country mile, not to mention have to pit for fuel every 2-3 laps. The only problem the 787B ran into in 1991 was a dead headlight and an overheating (but not failed) rear wheel bearing, meanwhile, the C11s (*not* C9s, the 787B never raced the C9, just the 787A) had multiple issues, including a spin, gearbox problem, other undisclosed mechanical problems, and also had to moderate its pace by conserving fuel -- a slowing factor that the 787B did not have, since it was efficient enough that fuel consumption didn't really matter.

@@EnkeiTenjin The car isn't even done dude, he only really started full-send building it this year and is learning as he goes. The fact that it made it down the track once is an accomplishment given that it's really never been tested. They put the hood latches (wrong latches) in it a few days ago and had intended to half-mile race it to prep for this but a garbage oil pump prevented any testing. Now Rob can go back and not only finish the car, but he has real data to know what changes he needs to make.
