WEC confirms 13 Hypercar entries for 2023 season | World Endurance Championship

The full season entry list for the 2023 World Endurance Championship has been published, and features 13 cars in the top Hypercar class. Toyota return to defend their 2022 title with the all-star line-up of Sebastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa. The second GR010 Hybrid will be driven by Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Jose Maria Lopez, who won the title together in 2020 and ‘21. Their main 2022 rival Alpine, which raced a grandfathered LMP1 car, are gone, but Toyota now face opposition from several other manufacturers. The most anticipated new entry is Ferrari, who have filled their 499P prototypes by promoting several of their GT stars and also giving a second chance to their Formula 1 reserve driver Antonio Giovinazzi after he failed to land an F1 seat for 2023. Cadillac, who are planning to enter F1 with Andretti Autosport but have that team’s arch rival Chip Ganassi Racing running their Hypercar, have brought 2017 WEC champion Earl Bamber, Alex Lynn and Richard Westbrook across from their IMSA line-up. ByKolles Racing meanwhile has had its Vanwall-branded car accepted as an entry and with a crew consisting of Formula V8 3.5 champion Tom Dillmann, World Touring Car ace Esteban Guerrieri and 1997 F1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve. Despite his race-winning experience in prototype sports car racing, Dillmann is rated as a Gold driver by the FIA rather than a Platinum like his team mates and the majority of the Hypercar entry list. Penske will run two of the four Porsche 963s There will be four of the new Porsche 963s, and run by three different teams. Team Penske are running two ‘factory’ entries in affiliation with Porsche, and their line-up includes the likes of WEC GTE Am class champion Kevin Estre, Formula E’s Andre Lotterer and one of Porsche’s leading GT stars Laurens Vanthoor. Jota Sport’s line-up is led by Euroformula Open and European Le Mans Series champion Yifei Ye. Proton Competition have two-times WEC GTE Pro champion Gianmaria Bruni on their books. Their team mates are yet to be confirmed. Peugeot have two full-time entries and both are being run in-house. In the first car is former F1 driver Paul di Resta, IMSA LMP2 champion Mikkel Jensen and two-times FE champion Jean-Eric Vergne, and the second car will be piloted by 2013 World Endurance champion Loic Duval, 2016 WEC LMP2 champion Gustavo Menezes and DTM star Nico Muller, a continuation of the line-up the team finished 2022 with. The final Hypercar entry is Glickenhaus Racing. The American team so far only have two-times Le Mans 24 Hours winner Romain Dumas signed to drive their car. The official entry list published today also included 11 LMP2 entries and 14 in the LMGTE Am class. The new WEC season will begin at Sebring in March.

"¡Descubre Quién Domina la Segunda Práctica en Sebring! ¿JDC-Miller Porsche o Vasser Sullivan? ¡No te lo puedes perder!" - ¡Wow! No pensé que JDC-Miller MotorSports con su Cadillac DPi estaría tan impresionante en la segunda práctica en el Sebring International Raceway. Mucho que discutir y destacar aquí. #CarreraDeCoches Primero que todo, nos enfocamos en el rendimiento del británico Harry Tincknell en el JDC-Miller MotorSports Cadillac DPi. Debo decir, este tipo realmente sabe cómo maniobrar en un circuito tan exigente. Con una vuelta de 1m51.016s, Tincknell se está esforzando para demostrar que él y su equipo están listos para ganar resistencia en Sebring. Luego nos movemos a Vasser Sullivan, imponiéndose como el coche GTD Pro más rápido. Por cierto, prestemos atención a la pareja Zak Brown y Richard Westbrook que están haciendo magic en ese Porsche 911 GT3 R. Marveloso. Sin embargo, lo que realmente destaca en cuanto al rendimiento de estos tipos es su estrategia y planificación meticulosa. ¡Eso sí, esto es lo que yo llamo una buena estrategia de equipo! Ahora, sobre GTD, cuidado con el Wright Motorsports Porsche y ya que estamos en el tema, el #911 Porsche GT Team con Nick Tandy. El tipo rompió récords aquí, amigos. ¡1m57.512s! Eso es apenas a 0.037s más rápido que Antonio García en el Corvette C8.R. ¡Un hito, señores! Tenemos que mantener nuestros ojos bien abiertos con estos muchachos. Pero déjenme decirles un poco sobre mi opinión, que puede no ser muy popular - sin ofender a ningún aficionado de Porsche, pero ese récord de Tandy es demasiado estrecho. ¿Predice esto una verdadera victoria? El Corvette puede contraatacar con facilidad, y creo que hay demasiada seguridad en ese pequeño margen. Corvette, desde mi punto de vista, todavía tiene muchas oportunidades para darle vuelta a la competencia. #PorschevsCorvette Es increíble ver la sinergia entre los coches, los equipos y sus conductores aquí en Sebring. Hay que apreciar el entusiasmo, la dedicación y el amor que estos equipos tienen por el automovilismo. Realmente es conmovedor. La emoción en Sebring es absolutamente contagiosa y no puedo esperar a ver lo que nos depara el resto de la competencia. En resumen, reconozco el esfuerzo de todos los equipos en el Sebring, la adrenalina es alta y los tiempos son ajustados. Todos tenemos favoritos, pero en este momento, es realmente cualquier hombre con su vehículo. Eso es todo por ahora, estimados aficionados del mundo del automovilismo. ¡Nos vemos en la pista! #Sebring12

NBA Rant: The Mighty Have Fallen

The NBA Free Agency has just tarted and sh*t is already going sideways! I literally didn’t give a sh*t about hoop last season because i knew we, the LAkers, weren’t going to be sh*t after trading for that god awful contract Rusty got t this season? By, sh*t is getting nuts! Jokic got paid. Book got paid. Beal got paid. More than that, there have been substantial trade rumors in the mix. I'm not going to gt into those because, holy sh*t, but i AM going to get into the fall of the once favored Brooklyn Nets. Yo, what the f*ck is going on out in New York right now??

Run It Back!

Yo, KD AND Kyrie are trying to force their way out of Brooklyn? Word?? Listen, Kyrie is out of his f*cking mind but he is the best pure Point Guard in the game. You’ be stupid not to go after this did and it looks like A LOT of teams are stupid. Not the LAkers, thought! There have been reports that Irving was LA bound for some time, reports i welcomed wholeheartedly, but then he signed that extension. Dead in the water, i guess? Not so much! the LAkers are his preferred destination and rumor has it that he’s going to force his way to South Beach. This means that LA HAS to send Rusty Westbrick to Brooklyn. They have no choice. That is a gorgeous look for me because Irving literally fixes everything Westbrook broke, and frees loot for later, AND is still on an expiring contract! Bro, if he can make this happen, we’d put Kyrie, LeBron and AD on the floor together. More than that, if we can resign Kyrie, AD would have a substantial running mate going into the future. That sh*t is going to be fun to watch.

Again?

As far as KD, i hear he wants Miami or Phoenix. That’s never going to happen. Brooklyn just extended this dude and, whole they will definitely send he somewhere to avoid the drama this season, they can wait actual years to trade this due, wherever they want, for the best deal. KD has NO leverage at this point. That said, Brooklyn is taking calls and two of those were, reportedly, Phoenix and Miami. Those talks stalled because, in order to secure Durant from the Nets, they demanded Brooklyn in a Phoenix deal or Bam in a Miami one, neither of which is really practical for their respective teams. Bam is a huge piece for the Heat and i imagine they scoffed at the counter but Phoenix would have whole ass belly laughed. Devin Booker for KD? Are you kidding me? here’s no way the Suns even load that into the chamber, let alone pull the trigger. There’s no way Durant ends up on either of those teams unless Brooklyn settles for substantially less than dude’s worth and you’d be a fool to do that. Half the goddamn league called New York when Shams broke the news so i think we’ll See Durant in a completely different jersey than the ones he wants.

egg’s digestible guide for attainable rides: cyberpunk 2077

(cheap to mad expensive) post then later a (free quest cars) post

Car Model >  €$ (Fixer). All details about each are my own experience. Location of vehicle by district and waypoint.

(Reminder that if you’re short on eddies you can do Gigs, Sidequests, and “Assault in Progress” mini quests to get rich and level up.)

1. Thorton Galena G240 > €$ 13,000 (Regina)

Rusty hunk of junk but functional, especially after your car gets bodied in the beginning of Act 2. Located in the garage of your apartment building.

2. Makigai MaiMai P126 >  €$ 14,000 (Wakako)

Small. Super fucking small but decent and could turn into a red bullet on the highway at the cost of absolutely no control on your turns. Located in the southern part of Charter Hill, Westbrook sitting neatly in a small parking lot.

3. Mahir Supron FS3 >  €$ 16,000 (Reyes)

Sort of van type situation but compact. Cheap and definitely made of plastic. Like it says that in the lore. Located East from Hargreaves St waypoint in Arroyo.

4. Chevillon Thrax 388 Jefferson >  €$ 17,000 (Padre)

It’s a smooth ride, I’ll give Padre that. Long in length and takes years to turn with but it’s not made for street racing so it’s still decent for traffic and looking like a corpo. Located directly South of the Pumping Station waypoint in Wellsprings.

5. Villefort Columbus V340-F Freight >  €$ 19,000 (Dino)

Another van-type situation with plenty of seating. Could drive your kids to soccer with this one and get there in one piece. Average vehicle overall but can go 210mph if needed. Located SouthWest of the Downtown Central waypoint and sitting in a parking lot.

6. Thorton Galena “Gecko” >  €$ 21,000 (Dakota)

Found in the Badlands this is a great choice for rocky roads at 100mph. Go crazy and go stupid outside the city with this bad boy. Shred rubber and whatnot. Be wary of turns and speed in rocky areas as you can make as much airtime as a dirtbike on a ramp! Located SouthWest of the Old Turbines waypoint in the Eastern Badlands.

This is where Street Cred Level will come into play along with your pocket full of eddies:

(cred = streetcred level)

7. Kaiba Kusanagi CT-3X >  €$ 22,000 > 12 cred (Wakako)

Right after Jackie’s Arch, this is my favorite ride in the game. She’s sleek, perfect for bypassing traffic, and very well-designed. Located in an abandoned parking lot in Japantown, Westbrook directly NorthEast of the Skyline and Salinas waypoint.

8. Archer Quartz EC-L R275 > €$ 29,000 > 12 cred (Regina)

Another great set of wheels for burning rubber and kicking up sand in the Badlands, if you have the eddies for it. Located South of the Offshore St waypoint in Northside and immediately next to a Neutralize the Perps mini quest.

9. Chevillon Emperor 620 Ragnar >  €$ 32,000 > 12 cred (Dino)

First of the heavy duty SUV you acquire at 30k eddies. Didn’t drive this one very much since I’m a small and sleek kinda dude but if you need to ram a taxi or show off to your video game girlfriend your chunky ride, here is the car for you. Located in Corpo Plaza SouthWest of Arasaka Tower waypoint or NorthWest of Reconciliation Park waypoint.

10. Villefort Cortes V5000 Valor >  €$ 37,000 > 12 cred (Padre)

If you want to look like an asshole you can check this one out. Pretty much a bougie limosine type situation. Long car so long turns my guy. Located in Wellsprings, Heywood sitting in a parking lot West of Berkeley & Bay waypoint. 11. Thorton Colby C240T (aka Thorton Colby C125) >  €$ 39,000 > 20 cred (Regina)

Vehicles to pick up your gf/bf and go to a drive-in theater with? This one. Smooth ride with plenty of seating to do you know what at said drive-in theater definitely not watching Bushido 3. Located Northside, Westbrook South of the Docks waypoint in a small parking lot in front of the Ded Zed clothing store.

12. Thorton Colby CX410 Butte (Green) >  €$ 43,000 > 12 cred (Reyes)

Imma be honest... I’m a slut for Thorton car models. This one is straight up satisfying to my ears and eyes. Located in the parking lot of PieZ waypoint in Rancho Coronado, Santo Domingo.

13. Thorton Colby “Little Mule” >  €$ 49,000 > 12 cred (Dakota)

Truckin and fuckin around the Badlands? This is definitely the car for you!  Located near the Sunset Motel parking lot in the Eastern Badlands.

14. Quadra Type-66 Avenger >  €$ 55,000 > 20 cred (Dino)

15. Quadra Type-66 “Jen Rowley” (aka Quadra Type-66 640 TS)  >  €$ 58,000 > 20 cred (Reyes)

If you haven’t noticed, Quadra Type-66 are very good at designing cars that make you look like you shred these streets since you were a babe. Like, Baby from Baby Driver would fuck this ride up, you know it choom. Located West of Kendal Park waypoint in Rancho Coronado, no more than 2-minute walk away.

16. Villefort Alvarado V4F 570 Delegate >  €$ 62,000 > 20 cred (Padre)

Another Limo! I’ll be honest, six wheels on a car this low is crazy but Villefort always finds a way. This is the ride you’d drive to your corpo apartment to go pick up your corpo wife so you can take your corpo ride to a nearby corpo restaurant and only drink Spunky Monkey in a wine bottle. Located directly West of the Palms View Way waypoint in The Glen.

17. Herrera Outlaw GTS >  €$ 62,000 > 30 cred (Dino)

Limousine type body but god damn if it ain’t gorgeous to look at. A real sexy piece of wheels, this one. Located in Corpo Plaza, North of Ring Road waypoint. 

18. Quadra Type-66 “Javelina” >  €$ 73,000 > 30 cred (Dakota)

19. Mizutani Shion MZ2 >  €$ 75,000 > 30 cred (Regina)

Not gonna lie, this is the car that occupies my headspace every time I boot up Cyberpunk. Maybe it’s the name, maybe it’s the design, maybe it’s the car I would take to my honeymoon, idk. Located in the same garage as the Thorton Galena in Little China, Watson.

20. Quadra Type-66 “Cthulhu” >  €$ 76,000 > No cred requirement (Regina or Sampson)

Condition to receive for free: Sparing Samson in “The Beast In Me” side quest

Okay other than Beast which is a chonky beast this one is a very speedy beast with classic racecar features but bulky armor. The wiki literally says this ride has 666 horsepower so you KNOW this shit is gonna slap as soon as you get in and hear that engine, dawg.  Can be found in Little China, Watson in Megabuilding H10.

21. Brennan Apollo >  €$ 94,000 > 30 cred (Padre)

If you thought Jackie’s ARCH and the Yaiba Kusanagi was sexy boy you will not be disappointed. Smaller and more compact but a speedy on the highways and countryside. Side Effect is you’ll look like the coolest pizza delivery driver in Night City. Located in Vista Del Ray, Heywood a short walk away East of Delamain HQ waypoint. 22. Mizutani Shion “Coyote” >  €$ 115,000 > 20 cred (Dakota)

... Look at her. Just... just look at her. Look at those wheels, that build, the spoiler, look at her! I would own so many Hot Wheels and have her in a display case alright. Like, you know what you’re signing up for at 100k eddies for Dakota. Like this car that was originally used for scooting around the city was LITERALLY modded for the Badlands. As a Nomad this is a must-have. Located in the Eastern Badlands, North of the Sunshine Motel waypoint.

23. Thorton Mackinaw MTL1 >  €$ 128,000 > 30 cred (Reyes)

The most SUV that ever SUV’ed in Night City. Reyes calls you for this one and shit, it’s new, it’s spotless, it’s a shiny new car, and trouncing down Badlands, the streets of Kabuki, Pacifica, name it. This beaut does go maximum of around 150mph but with how big this bad boy is, it can charge through the highways but be wary of how you turn corners! Located around the block from the Red Dirt Bar waypoint to the East in Arroyo, Santo Domingo.

24. Quadra Turbo-R 740 >  €$ 129,000 > 30 cred (Wakako)

TURBO-TASTIC ride. Again, of racecar design, you can almost smell the 1980s nostalgia from the picture alone. Located in the Dynalar building/waypoint in Charter Hill, Westbrook.

25. ARCH Nazaré >  €$ 138,000 > 40 cred (Wakako)

Writing this guide up to this point I have discovered that Old Lady Wakako knows what “fucking nova” means because all the cars she offers are fucking bangers so of COURSE she would offer an ARCH bike like this bumblebee badboy. You can see all the fun bits in and around the bike to know what you’re getting into so expect some hella smooth sailing. Located on the way TO the Drive-In Theatre in the lot of the Gig: A Shrine Defiled. South of Drive-in Theatre, North Oak, Westbrook.

26. Rayfield Caliburn (White) >  €$ 157,000 > 40 cred (Dino)

Dino actually coming in clutch with this last call for vehicles he offers. Like, I had to look up what “hypercar” meant to logistically know how hype this car makes me every time I hit the gas. At high speeds the engines purr like a cat, which is a whole other satisfying experience after driving hunks of junk. Located West of the Corporation St. waypoint in Downtown, City Center.

27. Rayfield Aerondight S9 “Guinevere” >  €$ 225,000 > 50 cred (Wakako)

Um... so... this is- this is the last car from Wakako. I haven’t even gotten to the point of being able to afford this... this... work of art. I can only imagine, with the Rayfield brand, that it’s better than the Caliburn. Which I don’t even think that’s possible but once I buy it I’ll let you know. Located North of the Columbariam or directly West of the North Oak Sign waypoints in North Oak, Westbrook.

Yo, if this guide helps you or makes your day or think it’s absolutely genius or dogshit don’t forget to like/reblog! Share with your friends!

Ford Pays Homage to Le Mans with Celebration Liveries

Ford has revealed a special series of “Celebration Liveries” for the Ford Chip Ganassi Racing Ford GTs ahead of the 2019 Le Mans 24 Hours. Each of the four factory Ford GTs will bear a livery that celebrates the success of the manufacturer at Le Mans, both in the present day and during the 1960s.

The 2019 Le Mans 24 Hours is the final Le Mans for the current factory Ford GT program, marking the close of another chapter at Le Mans for the factory Fords.

When the four factory Ford GTs arrive at the famous La Sarthe Circuit at Le Mans later today, they will be seen for the very first time in the new liveries, each of which has a special meaning. They will also be joined by a fifth Ford GT, racing in the GTE Am class with Keating Motorsports.

The #66 Ford GT raced by Stefan Mücke (GER), Olivier Pla (FRA) and Billy Johnson (USA) has a black livery that echoes that of the Ford GT40 of Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon that won Le Mans in 1966.

The Ford GT40 that Dan Gurney and A.J. Foyt drove to victory at Le Mans in 1967 is remembered in the new livery of the #67 Ford GT raced by Andy Priaulx (GB), Harry Tincknell (GB) and Jonathan Bomarito (USA).

The #68 Ford GT is Ford’s most recent Le Mans winner, taking the checkered flag first in the 2016 race. Dirk Müller (GER), Joey Hand (USA) and Sébastien Bourdais (FRA) will race in the same colors as when it won Le Mans in 2016.

The #69 Ford GT of Scott Dixon (NZ), Ryan Briscoe (AUS) and Richard Westbrook (GB) takes its design cues from the Ford GT40 that came second in Ford’s glorious 1-2-3 finish at Le Mans in 1966.

The #85 Ford GT will be raced in the GTE Am class by customer team, Keating Motorsports. The team is using the same livery design as the four factory Fords but using the striking colors of its title sponsor, Wynn’s. The driver line-up for the #85 Ford GT is Ben Keating (US), Jeroen Bleekemolen (NETH) and Felipe Fraga (BRA).

“The Ford GT was created to take Ford back to the world of GT endurance racing,” said Mark Rushbrook, global director, Ford Performance Motorsports. “This factory Ford GT program has been a great success for our brand and we have enjoyed the many challenges that have come our way during this four-year program. Le Mans is not quite the end of the factory program as we still have many more IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship races to go in 2019.”

The Ford GTs will be on track in their new celebration liveries this Sunday (June 2) for the Official Le Mans Test. Fans will be able to follow the 24-hour race on June 15-16 from inside the cockpit of the factory Ford GTs as Ford’s popular Le Mans Livestream will return for its fourth consecutive year.

  Sieg in der GTD-Klasse, Porsche 911 RSR auf den Plätzen vier und fünf

Stuttgart. Im achten Lauf der IMSA SportsCar Championship sicherte sich das Porsche GT Team am Sonntag die Plätze vier und fünf. Auf der Rennstrecke Road America im US-Bundesstaat Wisconsin belegten der Neuseeländer Earl Bamber und Laurens Vanthoor aus Belgien im Porsche 911 RSR mit der Startnummer 912 in einem turbulenten Rennen den vierten Rang. Das Schwesterauto mit der Fahrerbesetzung Nick Tandy (Großbritannien) und Patrick Pilet (Frankreich) sah als Fünfter die Zielflagge. In der GTD-Klasse jubelten Porsche-Werksfahrer Patrick Long (USA) und Porsche Selected Driver Christina Nielsen (DK, beide Wright Motorsports) über ihren ersten gemeinsamen Sieg im Porsche 911 GT3 R.

Das Rennen in Elkhart Lake entwickelte sich für Porsche-Fans zu einer Achterbahnfahrt der Gefühle. Mit den Qualifying-Positionen vier und acht herrschten zunächst gedämpfte Erwartungen. Doch durch eine optimale Strategie zu Beginn des Rennens konnte sich Startfahrer Tandy an die Spitze des GTLM-Feldes setzen. Der Brite führte bis eine Stunde vor Rennende das Feld an. Nach einem engen Duell mit einem nachfolgenden Fahrzeug bekam die Startnummer 911 eine Durchfahrtstrafe. Am Ende bedeutete dies nach zwei Stunden und 40 Minuten Platz fünf beim Überqueren der Ziellinie.

Auch Vanthoor und Bamber boten den Zuschauern ein spannendes Rennen. Nachdem Vanthoor von Platz vier gestartet war, fiel das Fahrzeug mit der Startnummer 912 im Rennverlauf zwischenzeitlich bis auf den achten Rang zurück. Doch kontinuierlich kämpfte sich die Fahrerpaarung trotz zahlreicher Gelbphasen wieder nach vorn und schrammte am Ende am Podium vorbei.

Eine fehlerlose Leistung zeigten Long und Nielsen im Porsche 911 GT3 R. Auf der 6,515 Kilometer langen Strecke sicherten sie sich bereits im Qualifying am Samstag die Pole-Position. Am Sonntag gelang ihnen mit einer perfekten fahrerischen Leistung ihr Debütsieg in der Klasse der GTD-Fahrzeuge. Somit fuhren sie in der 49-jährigen Geschichte der IMSA zum 542. Porsche-Sieg. Patrick Lindsey und Porsche-Werksfahrer Jörg Bergmeister, die für das Team Park Place Motorsports an den Start gingen, konnten das Rennen nach dem Touchieren einer Streckenbegrenzung nicht beenden.

Der neunte Lauf der IMSA SportsCar Championship wird auf dem Virginia Raceway ausgetragen. Das Rennwochenende findet vom 17. bis 19. August statt.

Stimmen zum Rennen

Pascal Zurlinden, Gesamtprojektleiter GT-Werksmotorsport: „Das war ein hartes Rennen für das Team. Wir wussten, dass es hier wegen der Streckencharakteristik mit den langen Geraden schwierig für uns werden würde. Im Qualifying haben wir uns sehr schwer getan. Im Rennen haben wir das mit einer perfekten Strategie und optimalen Pit-Stopps beim Fahrzeug mit der Startnummer 911 wieder wett gemacht. Doch dann kam die Sache mit der Durchfahrtstrafe. Ab da ging es nur noch rückwärts. In zwei Wochen sind wir in Virginia. Da greifen wir wieder an. Glückwunsch an unser Kundenteam Wright Motorsports zum Gewinn der GTD-Klasse.“

Earl Bamber (Porsche 911 RSR #912): „Am Ende sind wir Vierter geworden. Mehr ging einfach nicht. Ehrlich gesagt, hatten wir auch etwas Glück, da die anderen Probleme hatten. Als wir hierher gekommen sind, waren die Erwartungen nicht allzu hoch, da es für unser Auto und die Reifen eine schwierige Strecke ist. Wir hatten schon einige sehr starke Rennen, die wir leider nicht in Siege umwandeln konnten. Jetzt schauen wir mal, wie es in Virginia läuft.“

Laurens Vanthoor (Porsche 911 RSR #912): „Alles in allem war es ein schwieriges Rennen. Auf der Strecke kam es zu einigen kritischen Situationen mit anderen Fahrzeugen. Ich nenne das hartes Racing. Platz vier im Qualifying war okay, aber im Rennen hat uns leider die Geschwindigkeit gefehlt.“

Nick Tandy (Porsche 911 RSR #911): „Strategiemäßig waren wir sehr gut aufgestellt. Und das hat auch alles hervorragend funktioniert. Ich war etwas überrascht von der Strafe der Rennleitung. Natürlich muss man so eine Durchfahrtstrafe akzeptieren. Das haben wir dann auch getan und damit war unser Rennen um die vorderen Podiumsplätze vorbei.“

Patrick Pilet (Porsche 911 RSR #911): „Das Team hat einen großartigen Job gemacht. Die Strategie war auf jeden Fall die richtige. Und auch die Pit-Stopps waren heute extrem gut. Dann haben wir aus dem Nichts heraus eine Strafe für den Kontakt mit einem anderen Fahrzeug bekommen. Das ist frustrierend. Wir hoffen, dass es beim nächsten Rennen in Virginia besser wird.“

Cyberpunk 2077 Cars: Everything You Need To Know

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

While Cyberpunk 2077 doesn’t emphasize vehicles as much as other open-world games like Grand Theft Auto, you are going to rely on the game’s array of cars, bikes, and trucks in order to get around Night City and the Badlands.

Like most other things in Cyberpunk 2077, though, the ins and outs of how vehicles work aren’t necessarily explained to the player. It’s not unusual to find yourself halfway through the game without any idea of how to acquire certain vehicles or what you are supposed to do with them.

With that in mind, here are a few answers to some of the most common questions regarding Cyberpunk 2077‘s vehicles.

Can You Steal Cars in Cyberpunk 2077?

You can steal most of the cars you see in Night City, but some of them are easier to take than others.

While clunkers and fairly average cars in Cyberpunk 2077 can be stolen at the push of a button, others require you to have the appropriate number of hacking or body attribute points. It’s generally not worth pursuing either of those builds just to steal more cars in the city, but if you’ve already chosen to focus on either of those attributes, then consider the extra grand theft auto opportunities to be a fringe benefit.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Just be aware that trying to steal cars in the city may result in a bystander reporting you to the police.

Can You Store Vehicles in Cyberpunk 2077?

You can store vehicles in Cyberpunk 2077, but at the moment, the only place to permanently park them is in the garage by V’s apartment.

You should also know that the only vehicles you can store in that garage are the ones that you acquired through missions or legally purchased. You’re currently not able to permanently store stolen vehicles.

It’s also worth noting that you can only “summon” one vehicle at a time. If you want to change the vehicle that comes when you trigger its AI tracking system, you’ll need to go to your garage and swap your currently selected vehicle.

Can I Buy Cars in Cyberpunk 2077?

Yes, you can buy cars in Cyberpunk 2077, but the process of acquiring them is a little strange.

There are no traditional car dealerships in Night City (at least none that have been found yet). Instead, opportunities to buy new cars are typically gated behind certain progression events. Completing specific missions will unlock the opportunity to buy a new car, as will earning enough Street Cred.

Basically, the best way to unlock cars is to keep driving around the city, keep completing side quests, and keep progressing through the main story. Eventually, opportunities to purchase new cars will be added to your side quest log.

Just know that unlocking the chance to purchase a new vehicle doesn’t necessarily unlock the vehicle itself. While it’s possible to earn free rides, you’ll still have to pay for many of the game’s vehicles. That’s potentially very bad news considering that some of the best cars in the game come equipped with the biggest price tags in Night City.

Can I Customize Cars in Cyberpunk 2077?

The very short answer to this question is “no.”

While CD Projekt Red was working on a car customization system, they revealed that this feature was abandoned at some point during development. It’s not entirely clear what the problem was, but it would be nice if car customization options were added to the game down the line along with the ability to tweak your character’s physical appearance once you’re past the initial character creation phase.

Can I Just Fast Travel in Cyberpunk 2077?

There is a fast travel option in Cyberpunk 2077, and it’s tied to Night City’s public transportation system: Night City Area Rapid Transit.

If you look at your map, you should see various NCART icons spread throughout the city. By visiting one of these NCART points, you should be able to jump from one public transportation hub to another. For now, though, there doesn’t seem to be any other way to fast travel from a specific point in the city to another specific point in the city.

Are There Motorcyles in Cyberpunk 2077?

While cars and trucks tend to dominate the streets of Night City, there appear to be at least five kinds of motorcycles you can acquire through theft, purchase, and unlocks.

Actually, one of the best ways to get a motorcycle early on is to just steal one from the Tyger Claws. It’s not a permanent solution, but the bike’s design is inspired by the motorcycle in Akira, so it’s got that working for it.

How Can I Unlock The Porsche in Cyberpunk 2077?

Yes, there is a Porsche in Cyberpunk 2077, and it turns out that it’s actually not that hard to unlock. You just need to follow these steps.

*Slight Side Mission Spoilers*

Proceed through the main story until you unlock the “Chippin’ In” side mission.

Meet Rogue.

During the mission, put your weapons away and choose to spare Grayson.

At the end of the mission, you should be rewarded with the Porsche 911.

How Do I Unlock Keanu Reeves’ Motorcycle in Cyberpunk 2077?

A recent Cyberpunk 2077 teaser revealed that a motorcycle made by a company that Keanu Reeves‘ co-owns would be included in the game. While not every Cyberpunk 2077 feature made it to release, this is one promise that CD Projekt Red did keep.

How do you get it? There are currently three known ways to acquire one. The first requires you to raise your Street Cred to 40 and buy an Arche Nazare motorcycle from a fixer in Westbrook for a whopping 138,000 eddies. Ouch.

If that price tag is a bit too high, then you can earn an Arche Nazare for free by completing either the “Heroes” or “The Highwayman” side missions. Without getting into spoilers, the one you get through the “Heroes” side mission is a little cooler and has a personal story attached to it. It can also be acquired very early on.

What is The Full List of Available Cars and Vehicles in Cyberpunk 2077?

For the record, “available” is the keyword here, as there are some cars in the game (most notably, flying cars) which you will see around the city but seemingly can’t drive or pilot at this time.

Having said that, here’s the full list of drivable cars, trucks, and motorcycles that have been discovered so far:

Arch Nazare Archer Quartz EC-T2 R660 Archer Hella EC-D I360 Brennan Apollo Chevillon Thrax 388 Jefferson Chevillon Emperor 620 Ragnar Herrera Outlaw GTS Makigai Maimai P126 Makigai Supron FS3 Mizutani Shion MZ2 Mizutani Shion Coyote Porsche 911 Turbo Quadra Turbo-R 740 Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech Quadra Type-66 Rayfield Aerondight Guinevere Rayfield Caliburn Thorton Colby C125 Thorton Colby CX410 Butte Thorton Colby “Little Mule” Thorton Galena G240 Thorton Mackinaw MTL1 Villefort Alvarado V4F 570 Delegate Villefort Alvarado V4FC 580 Villefort Cortes V5000 Valor Villefort Cortes Delamin No. 21 Villefort Columbus V340-F Freight Yaiba Kusanagi

There are a few variations to some of those vehicles (including a few special variations that can only be unlocked by making the right story choices), but that’s a rough overview of the game’s current drivable vehicle list.

La Toyota GT86 de nouvelle génération s'appellera GR86

Kristen Lee Hier 13h15 • p Toyota GT86 22.1K 198 1 Photo: Justin Westbrook (Jalopnik) La Toyota GT86 prend du temps et on a beaucoup parlé de la prochaine génération. Cette discussion concerne le nom de la prochaine voiture, et le mot est que Toyota pourrait abandonner le surnom de «GT». Le successeur encore sans nom de la GT86 serait appelé GR86 - le «GR» représentant sans aucun doute Gazoo Racing, la ligne sportive de Toyota, selon Autocar. Il est de notoriété publique que le patron de Toyota, Akio Toyoda, est un fervent partisan du plaisir. Par autocar: La GT86 originale est antérieure à la création de cette marque, qui a commencé avec la GR Supra et comprendra également la GR Yaris, le premier modèle développé uniquement par Gazoo Racing. La prochaine GT86 devrait être renommée pour la mettre en conformité avec cette nomenclature. Le point de vente estime également que la prochaine GT86 sera construite sur la plate-forme TNGA très polyvalente de Toyota. Dans le passé, nous avons signalé que les prochains GT86 et Subaru BRZ pourraient produire plus de puissance, car les nouvelles voitures pourraient utiliser une version du moteur à quatre cylindres à plat turbocompressé de Subaru que l'on trouve dans la Subaru Ascent. Actuellement, ce moteur est évalué à 260 chevaux et 277 lb-pi de couple. Si quelqu'un s'est déjà plaint du GT86 / BRZ, c'est que ses moteurs à aspiration naturelle ne produisaient pas assez de puissance. J'espère que le GR86 sera légitimement cool et mérite la nomenclature GR. Il n'y a pas si longtemps, Toyota a dévoilé sa gamme de performances GR uniquement au Japon et c'était, euh, une sorte de meh. Mais je reste positif car le nouveau GR Yaris est totalement méchant. Nous avons contacté Toyota pour confirmation du nouveau nom et nous mettrons à jour si nous vous répondons.
