i am trying to find out the dimensions of le mans prototype cars (closed roof) and i am having a little trouble.

can you guys point me in the right direction, or maybe give a me a hint that will help me search more efficiently.

i am curious about whatever specs or dimensions i can get my hands on but i primarily concerned with width, wheel base height, length etc.

if at all posible i would like some technical drawing type things like they have in the factory repair manual for a car.

 

try the Le Mans organization that makes the rules. Google is your friend.

 

You are looking for the rules that the ACO publishes. A little searching on google should allow you to find the pdf containing all the info you need.

 

i haved searched on google. i just dont know what i am searching for so its a little tricky.

 

this is the kind of info that i need. thanks.

now i can search for ACO and see what i come up with.

the rules would be helpful, but i was more wandering what x particular car in use is dimensionally.

so although the rules may say that it can be up to x mm long and x mm wide, that doesnt necessarily mean that those are the measurements the teams are using.

i dont know enough about the individual teams or anything to search on an individual basis.

everything i have found is really outdated.

any info at this point can only help

thanks again

 

There is a website , I can't remember the name right now but it has the word mulholland in it. If I remember what it is I'll update this post. Anyway it is THE best site for research on Le Mans prototypes...

 

hey thanks, i'll check that out.

by the way, your screen name is ****ing hilarious

 

i couldnt find anything under mulholland but i found mulsanescorner.com and he seems to have a lot of info.

is that what you were originally refering to?

 

The official site the the race is http://www.lemans.org

Just clicking around a bit, I found http://www.lemans.org/24heuresdumans/2005/...lements_gb.html

Those are the rules the cars must comply with, but does not contain information on any specific car.

The only closed roof prototype car to race recently is the Bentley Speed 8 a couple years ago. Are you asking about that car specifically? All other prototypes for about five years or so have been open topped, I think.
