Allows them to better use the space cleared up when they moved the engine forward. Honestly surprised they didnt do this from the start with the mid engine car.

They claim it was done to increase the height of the diffuser, which you can see was limited by their location in the last generation model. Keeps all of the exhaust mass aheas of the rear axle, as well.

Modified TS-050, probably going to be the Le Mans record holder for a long time.

I had a massive disappoint right now. I thought that the new cars were already for the next season. :cry:

First Hypercar races will be in 2020, first Hypercars at LeMans will be 2021, due to the superseason format.
