That also seems to be mandated by the rules (BMW partnered with Dallara):

Quote:
Companies will not need to design an entire race car from scratch; instead, each LMDh car starts off with a chassis (or spine) from one of four approved manufacturers—Dallara, Ligier, Multimatic, and Oreca.
(Source: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2022/06...e-m-hybrid-v8/)

(or maybe I'm reading this wrong, and the actual exterior design is still done by BMW - M Motorsport in that case. One could argue that they should then be put in charge for other BMW products, but I guess it would quickly become a manpower problem, as this LMDh thing is a one-off)

Just look at that puny grille. Not aggressive or modern at all but old and stale. Not to mention it doesn't give the people what they want. The grille should be at least 3x that size. 😂

No Le Mans - what gives?

Disappointed that they won't be going to Le Mans with all the other Lmdh's (Audi, Porsche, Ferrari, etc.)
