We hope we can stay out of accidents with Alpha but it will be hard work for our drivers, pushing those 790HP to the max all the time. Let's see what happens and best of luck to everyone.

Acctually the most fuel efficient so far is the LMPC, still on it's first tank and have more than 60% fuel left! I think Zeus would be the second and the NV810 the third
Athough... the Zeus has covered a greater distance than those two...

Meliora Automotive Chief Mechanical Race Engineer wrote:Australia poses a particular difficulty on the race calendar this season, even though it is only a six hour race. The real challenge of Australia is the heat, because unlike the American circuits we just came from, it is technically summer here in Australia, which means it is much hotter than we usually design and test our cars for. Because of this, and the very close tolerances of all the parts, they are more likely to fail due to overheating. This is particularly evident in the drivetrain of the car, which is the engine, the transmission, and the differential. The brakes are also going to have a harder time getting rid of their heat. Running at full throttle for hours at a time is not easy, and heat does not help, but it is a good way to find problems before the final 24 hour race at Le Mans.
