Could We Ever See A HyperCar Sprint/GP Series?
I know it's pretty silly to compare prototype endurance racing to something like F1, but still I got to thinking about something...could there ever be a hypercar racing series where similar to F1 you have constructors with 2 cars per team[similar to current WEC], but instead of having full driver lineups you just have 1 driver per car with of course shorter race formats? I think this thought roots from the fact that in F1 and all other open-wheel racing a drivers results more or less depend on their own performance, while in endurance racing you have to put a lot of faith into your fellow drivers and hope for the best results. So maybe such a series would be more enticing to certain drivers? Regardless from a viewers standpoint do you think such a series would ever exist or make sense to manufacturers? There would be alot of elements to take into account, but idk the thought of GP racing in Hypercars sparked my curiosity. What do you guys think?

BHP of GTE/GT3 Cars
Hello, I was just curious if anyone knew how they were quoting the BHP of GTE/GT3 cars? I’ve always seen numbers between 500-550 but they never state if that’s at the wheel or at the crank
