BMW M Hybrid V8

Mid-engined · Twin-turbo V8 · Downforce 5/5

LMDh on the Dallara chassis. Same spec hybrid and gearbox as the Cadillac and 963.

Platform first. Differences between LMDh cars are much smaller than between GT3s.

Symptoms this car reads differently

Nervous at high speed
Dallara LMDh aero. High-speed snaps are usually platform.
Pushes at the apex
Below aero speed it needs mechanical help. Bars last.
Runs wide on power
Balanced hybrid — no deploy map to blame.
