Inside the rise of Acura's radical ARX-06.
You can instantly recognize the Acura ARX-06 by the sound it makes as it enters a corner. Not the explosive, naturally-aspirated V-8 crescendo that its Cadillac V-Series.R competitor makes on the exits of those same corners, but an otherworldly clicking.
Porsche and BMW have chosen one team to run the entirety of their North American GTP factory operations. Acura's factory program has a very different structure. The team has two single-car factory teams, Wayne Taylor Racing and Meyer Shank Racing. In the race two days before the test, the pair fought head-to-head with the season championship on the line.
The two ARX-06s on track certainly look like complete racing cars, but journalists at the test are advised not to get too close to the cars, as they are far from homologation and are both far more proprietary and far less complete than they will be come the 2023 season. Each car completes a successful run, but both are done running by the middle of the afternoon; as Meyer Shank Racing co-owner Michael Shank would share inMichael L.
When the teams reconvene for another group test at Daytona in December, consistent jokes about an LMP2 car winning are starting to sound less like jokes. Between sessions, batteries and other hybrid components that would otherwise fit within the car show up in previously-empty parts of garages.
