🗣️“As soon as there are adjustments like this, then you create an incentive to have sandbagging.” Toyota believes the Balance of Performance change for this month’s Le Mans 24 Hours could open the door to sandbagging in the WEC’s Hypercar class ⬇️
#7 Toyota Gazoo Racing Toyota GR010 - Hybrid: Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi, Jose Maria Lopez“The principle was to discourage people from sandbagging because there was no adjustment,” explained Vasselon.The decision to issue a revised BoP incorporating wholescale changes to the cars across the cars built to the two ruleset was described in a joint FIA/ACO statement as “a correction”.
Vasselon refused to confirm that the FIA and the ACO had promised the manufacturers that there would be no further revisions between the Test Day and the start of the race next Saturday. The Ferrari 499P LMH, the second fastest car in the WEC so far this year, has been handed a 24kg increase in minimum weight, the Cadillac V-Series.R 11kg and the Porsche 963 LMDh three kilogrammes.Photo by: Paul FosterVasselon refused to put a figure on how much time the new minimum weight for the GR010 will cost around the 8.47-mile Circuit de la Sarthe at Le Mans.Toyota driver and team principal Kamui Kobayashi claimed it was 1.

A hyperlocal hybrid data fusion near-road PM2.5 and NO2 annual risk and environmental justice assessment across the United StatesExposure to traffic-related air pollutants (TRAPs) has been associated with numerous adverse health effects. TRAP concentrations are highest meters away from major roads, and disproportionately affect minority (i.e., non-white) populations often considered the most vulnerable to TRAP exposure. To demonstrate an improved assessment of on-road emissions and to quantify exposure inequity in this population, we develop and apply a hybrid data fusion approach that utilizes the combined strength of air quality observations and regional/local scale models to estimate air pollution exposures at census block resolution for the entire U.S. We use the regional photochemical grid model CMAQ (Community Multiscale Air Quality) to predict the spatiotemporal impacts at local/regional scales, and the local scale dispersion model, R-LINE (Research LINE source) to estimate concentrations that capture the sharp TRAP gradients from roads. We further apply the Regionalized Air quality Model Performance (RAMP) Hybrid data fusion technique to consider the model’s nonhomogeneous, nonlinear performance to not only improve exposure estimates, but also achieve significant model performance improvement. With a R2 of 0.51 for PM2.5 and 0.81 for NO2, the RAMP hybrid method improved R2 by ~0.2 for both pollutants (an increase of up to ~70% for PM2.5 and ~31% NO2). Using the RAMP Hybrid method, we estimate 264,516 [95% confidence interval [CI], 223,506–307,577] premature deaths attributable to PM2.5 from all sources, a ~1% overall decrease in CMAQ-estimated premature mortality compared to RAMP Hybrid, despite increases and decreases in some locations. For NO2, RAMP Hybrid estimates 138,550 [69,275–207,826] premature deaths, a ~19% increase (22,576 [11,288 – 33,864]) compared to CMAQ. Finally, using our RAMP hybrid method to estimate exposure inequity across the U.S., we estimate that Minorities within 100 m from major roads are exposed to up to 15% more PM2.5 and up to 35% more NO2 than their White
