Please understand that this is more of a dare than an instruction. Go to the Federation Internationale de l"Automobile website, and, assuming you"re feeling lightly masochistic, download the Formula One technical regulations document. It"s 90 pages long and full of such gems as "3.12 Bodywork facing the ground: fully enclosed holes are only permitted in the surfaces lying on the reference and step planes forward of a line 450mm forward of the rear face of the cockpit entry template"Riveting stuff. You can do the same for LMP1, too. 79 pages of equally impenetrable motorsportese. It would be half that number, actually, if it were all in one language, but since Le Mans, the ACO and the FIA are all French, the LMP regulations run in two columns, French on the left, English on the right. So let"s call that 40 pages.Photography: John WycherleyThis feature was originally published in the March 2016 issue of Top Gear magazine.
