At one of the Sevenstock tech talks (two or three years ago?), someone from the Mazdaspeed team mentioned that both Mercedes cars were consistently faster than the 787B, but they had engine problems and did not finish the race.

I came across a nice set of photos from that race:

Every serious race team tries to exploit their class rules as much as possible in order to win. In my opinion, it would be a great honor to have a new rule written because your team had found and exploited a good loophole in a previous set of rules.
