Hyped constantly for over a year

>you now realize that Porsche probably made 3 faster cars than the GayT in the time it took Ford to make it and have it be moderately successful in baby-class LM

it has been released although honestly i can see why it doesn't feel like it.
>been out this long
>STILL no 3rd party test
it might as well not have been released outside of country club collectors at this point.

imagine being a degenerate pigskin

>Le mans is trash now and even its former biggest contenders don't want to race because the rules are becoming increasingly retarded with the forcing of hybrid systems that clearly aren't ready for this type of shit

Unless they're made by germans. Le Mans has become so specialized that only germans have the brainpower to compete anymore.

Face it: the days where you could shove MUH BIG BLOCK 8 CYLINDERS OF VEHICULAR SECOND AMENDMENT FREEDOM!! MURRRRRRICCAAAAAAAA!!!!! into a shitty chassis and win against equally shitty spaghetti cars are over!

There is no recreating the Ford v Ferrari rivalry because neither Ford nor Ferrari are even serious competitors to Porsche anymore. Ferrari hasn't been known for anything when it comes to LM other than buy-in richfags crashing into prototype cars.

>Unless they're made by germans
The Germans dropped out...
>Le Mans has become so specialized that only germans have the brainpower to compete anymore.
Porsche cars broke down in 2017 as well and if there were other conventional prototypes racing in the P1 class they would've lost outright but the P2 cars weren't fast enough to still the win away.

No one is talking about that.
>There is no recreating the Ford v Ferrari
There is, its called Ford GT vs La Ferrari which is what i was talking about. please read the whole comment before replying.

>The Germans dropped out...

Yeah. Because they won so much and so hard there literally is no more fight to be had

>Porsche cars broke down in 2017 as well and if there were other conventional prototypes racing in the P1 class they would've lost outright but the P2 cars weren't fast enough to still the win away.

All I can see is: "if there were" and "they would've". Porsche still won. Doesn't matter how or by what margin. A win is a win.

>No one is talking about that.

I was simplifying a point about americans thinking you can treat LM like fucking NASCAR

>There is

There isn't in LM. Not even in the babby class. Ford and Ferrari are irrelevant. Ford a bit more than Ferrari but not by much.

Oh and on your last point: if you're talking about road cars you are beyond delusional. There has only ever been a rivalry between Ford and Ferrari when it came to Le Mans. Ford is as far removed from Ferrari when it comes to road cars as a tractor is from the space shuttle.

>Yeah. Because they won so much and so hard
By barely making it by the skin of their teeth in the last race..? if not for the rules Le mans would have much more competitors.
>A win is a win.
So you're dense and the point flew over your head, got it.
>was not discounting the win
>was making a point against only X can win Y when the rules don't allow for anyone to win in any other way

>I was simplifying a point about americans thinking you can treat LM like fucking NASCAR
They never did. are you just shitposting at this point?
>There isn't in LM
I don't give a shit about Le mans. i wasn't talking about beating Ferrari in that what-so-ever.
>Oh and on your last point: if you're talking about road cars you are beyond delusional
If you don't think Ferrari wouldn't be ass-sore at Ford utterly destroying their Halo car and actively trying to avoid a comparison between any of the hypercar rivals you are delusional. beating their Halo car would most definitely hurt their pride.
>Ford is as far removed from Ferrari when it comes to road cars as a tractor is from the space shuttle.
The GT isn't. its why every countryclub geezer who buys Ferraris also buys Ford GTs. this isn't a Corvette.

>complains about purpose built engine that was never intended to spark a rivalry no one cares about against a company that doesnt even see Ford as a competitor because they are such wildly different companies that simply don't cut into each others profits
>tfw neither feel the need to stake their reputation on a race like they did decades ago
>complains when its built to withstand all the retardation of the shitty class they entered it in
>doesnt complain that it didnt even win
Thanks for proving me right

Aston Martin won
You look incredibly retarded typing all that ignorant shit out

>>complains about purpose built engine
When did i do that? i'm advocating (for) such engines. Ecoboost isn't that.

>that was never intended to spark a rivalry no one cares
In one of Ford's advertisements/promos they show Ferrari's prancing horse getting "shaken" or scared of the GT in reference to the rivalry between them in the 60s. they were also going on and on about how they wanted to score a class win for the anniversary of the GT40. this whole car was wrapped in marketing regarding that rivalry. Don't get me wrong though i don't give a shit about it either my point was that if they wanted to market the car as an anniversary special and "beating Ferrari" it would've been a better tribute to try and beat Ferrari at something they would've cared about i.e their Halo car.

>they are such wildly different companies that simply don't cut into each others profits
I wasn't talking about stealing sales or going against them as a cooperation i was talking about taking a dump on their best car. basically competing with their engineers to see who could make the best super car. Why do people take things stone-faced literally?

>complains when its built to withstand all the retardation of the shitty class they entered it in
No, i'm complaining that they built the car around such a shitty class instead of ignoring it entirely to build the best road car they can. the La-Ferrari uses some kind of intake system that was banned in F1. Ferrari clearly wasn't thinking of conforming to any motorsport rules when they built the La-ferrari they just wanted to build the best Halo car they could.

>doesnt complain that it didnt even win
Its just GTLM. it doesn't really even matter. i would never advocate for dumbing down a car for any motorsport even if it would improve that car's chance of winning exponentially.

>Thanks for proving me right
