Plume Moteurs P670 LMH

The P670 LMH is the response of Plume Moteurs to the new Hypecar regulation. The french manufacturer, in collaboration with Distance auto shops, allready started planning a return in endurance racing in 2018 with the PED chassis 20 years after quitting GT2.

Caught by surprise by the new regulations, PM decided, rather than starting over, to adapt their chassis to the rules, giving it her more “classic” look, with proheminents sides pods and nose, straigth backfin and LMP1 diffuser .

This choice was also made as a marketing move. With Renault/Alpine allready engaged in F1 and LMP2, and Peugeot annoucing their come back to Endurance, Plume Moteurs didn’t wanted to fall behind, and prove their expertise in the performance segment. To do so, the P670
prototype use a modified road legal, naturaly aspirated 3l V8.
Everything in the car is made to celebrate Plume Moteurs heritage, from the tilted rectangle headlights to the somewhat retro racing blue livery.


But in the end, the ultimate goal is to assess PM superiority over the others french manufacturers.

Leisurely GSX VI


Leisurely will challenge for the top class at Le Mans this year

Leisurely insists on comprehensive independent research and development, adheres to tradition, and regards the track as an excellent place to develop cutting-edge technology

Leisurely inspires to fully decentralize track technology to the road Hence the introduction of the GSX VI CR

Leisurely CNR4 GT3


This year the CNR series officially returns
To live up to CNR’s R we’ll be racing Le Mans

The goal of CNR this time is to redefine the gap between racing cars and street cars
Therefore, CNR4 GT3 uses the same engine as GSX IV and adopts new technology

2024 #53 Team Midlands Astraea GT3


✦ Lore

The 2024 Midlands Astraea GTC may seem like an odd to choice as a base for a LMGT3 touring car. It’s a long, semi traditional two door sedan that while it may be able to keep up with the likes of a 2024 Bentley Flying spur in terms of top speed and acceleration, it’s not exactly the most nimble. However, the engineers at Midlands welcomed the challenge of bringing such an unexpected competitor to Le Mans to prove just how powerful a rear engined behemoth can be. The recipe for a porsche-esque touring car was there: 550 hp from from the engine situated in the rear, slightly rear biased weight distribution, highly tunable suspension, and massive tyres. The ironic thing is that this is all of that is wrapped up in a car that’s 4.5 meters long, almost 2 meters wide, and instead of a relatively small turboed flat 6 in the rear there’s a 5.4 L N/A V8. The Astraea GT3 is a tank of a car compared to most other traditional GT3s. Despite this, the Astraea GT3 achieves a respectable 0-60 of 3.6 seconds, an aero limited top speed of 224 mph, and cornering G’s similar to a Porsche 911 RSR. These figures are thanks to the staggering amount of energy Midlands has put into reshaping the Astraea into a wider, lower, and slightly menacing carbon fiber version of its roadgoing counterpart. In fact, due to engine size regulations, the Astraea actually has less base hp than the road version due to the loss of its supercharger. This has allowed the car to do exceedingly well in endurance testing, since the 5.4 L V8 is much less stressed than usual. This particular version of the Astraea GT3 is liveried in the traditional Team Midlands petrol blue over Sebring Grey and the factory team has decided to show off their team mascot on the side this year.


Specifications

✧ 5.44 L DOHC, N/A V8
✧ 554 horsepower @ 7100 RPM (subject to BoP changes)
✧ 433 Ft-Lb of torque @ 6300 RPM
✧ 1305 Kg (subject to BoP changes)
✧ 6 speed sequential gearbox
✧ 18 in Advan RCIII’s, 280/40R18(F), 330/35R18(R)
✧ 3.6 sec 0-60
✧ 224 mph top speed (Aero limited)

Is that a furry livery on the side of this racing behemoth? Yes. Yes it is. This good boi is the whole reason the #53 Team Midlands Astraea GT3 has a .car file size of 1.8 mb. He took me forever to make (as did the gran turismo logos scattered across the car), but I’m super proud of how he turned out. Full on anime liveries are a pain, but it was worth it. X3

It looks like you based the CNR4 on one of the '87 NSX-esque body sets. I’ve heard that the smaller of those (~2.4m wheelbase) has a longer engine bay - and I’m assuming you went with that one for that reason alone.

It’s because the body of other wheelbases has a bug

The 2.6 wheelbase body has a very strange proportions

the number plate on LMH has to be red, blue is for LMP2

I was able to disguise (or work around) those when making my TMCC26 entry, and even created a newer spin-off of it as a separate model, with a carbon-fiber body/chassis and a six-speed gearbox mated to a more powerful engine to set it apart, among other things - you can see them here.

But a width of nearly two meters is too wide, and it weighs almost 200 kilograms, which does not fit the CNR positioning

The challenge is now CLOSED!

This shell still has a lot of bugs
The weight cannot be less than 970 kg, otherwise it will stall
The body is too low, it will deform
