umthethonqubo
Ngesikhathi kwaPeugeot neToyota belungiselela ukugijima esigabeni se-“Le Mans Hypercar”, iPorsche ibuyela kuLe Mans esigabeni seLMDh. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi bobabili baphrofayili njengesigaba esiphezulu sokuhlolwa kokukhuthazela kusuka ngo-2021, behluka kuphela imithetho elandelwa kulowo nalowo.

Nakuba esigabeni se-“Le Mans Hypercar” amamodeli kufanele asekelwe ezimotweni ezikhiqizayo, kwi-LMDh umuntu angaphendukela ku-chassis othuthukisiwe ophuma esigabeni samanje se-LMP2 efakwe imininingwane emisiwe yohlelo oluyingxubevange.
Okwamanje, kunabakhiqizi abane abagunyaziwe be-chassis - i-Oreca, i-Ligier, i-Dallara ne-Multimatic - futhi akukakaqinisekwa ukuthi iyiphi inkampani i-Porsche ezojoyina kulokhu kubuyisela.
