Corvettes seemed to take a few hits in the most recent adjustments. TUDOR says they're done for a while. I doubt it.

when fueling how do they change the max fuel level in the cars?? they dont change tanks every time obviously is it automatically controlled through the hose system?

I wonder how many more pit stops 7 less liters of gas creates in a 12 hr period?

I think they build new tanks & have them certified by tech.

Displacement blocks in the cell.

Interesting that CR keeps getting knocked when they were the slowest at the Test, and weren't dominant at Daytona, while the Porsches don't really seem to take much of a bollicking though they've been whippin' butt.

ah ha

cool thansk for the info, just didnt make sense on how they could make tanks smaller.

are they a foam base to keep from banging into fuel pumps etc..

The cell is full of foam to keep the fuel from sloshing around, and you cut holes in the foam to nest the blocks in there. Having looked into the back of the C7.Rs at Daytona that isn't a two minute job to throw them in, unlike our GS Mustang where the cell is in the trunk and only thing in the way of opening it up is taking the filler neck off.

Where is the the fuel cell located in the new c7R?
