🗣️'It's a bit of a cat and mouse game right now, trying to estimate who has got what.' Cadillac driver Sebastien Bourdais feels a competitive order has yet to emerge from testing the new LMDh cars ahead of the 2023 IMSA SportsCar Championship ⬇️
Preparations are in full swing for the new era of sportscar racing, with Cadillac, Acura, BMW and Porsche all in a race against time to have their new LMDh contenders ready for the Daytona 24 Hours in January.Outside of private testing, the four manufacturers have shared the track a number of times in the last few months, most recently at Sebring, giving them a chance to compare their performance and reliability.
“We are running in the lower [end of the] window. We were running 500kW, but with the conditions it was a bit less [power]. “You can try and spend some time and energy figuring out what they have but it's not going to make your car any faster. So it's better to just focus on yourself and I think we've done that.”likewise stressed that it is best for manufacturers to concentrate on their programmes and not try to gauge the competition.
“What I keep saying is, even if I do a hell of a laptime [and] if Cadillac or BMW are a second off, how much do they have left in their pocket? Just thinking about the fuel, you can go out and take 80kg out of the car on fuel and you can do a ballistic laptime on your tyres.
